There’s a new trend called the “Tip the Bill Challenge,” where people are tipping servers 100%. I gotta be honest … the last time I tipped 100% I may have had a bit too much of the “Hazmat Liquid” and the LAST thing I wanted to do was brag about it. But now it has become the next big “online challenge”.
Wanna play? Here’s how it works.
If your bill is $25, you add a $25 tip on top of it. And some people have left WAY more than that.
Then you post the receipt online. So one reason it’s popular is you get to BRAG about it to your friends.
There are already about 2,000 posts on Instagram alone with the hashtag “TipTheBill” or “TipTheBillChallenge.”
C’mon Big Ballers, Tip Away!

Well to some viewers that seems to be changing, but Netflix claims it’s not. doing that but simply trying to use data to recommend other shows on the platform.
For some Netflix users in the U.S. and the U.K., a short promo with a countdown clock for other shows on the video service are running before your episodes start. The ads range from 10- to 20-second. In an article in the New York Times, Netflix spokeswoman Smita Saran said, “These video promos are actually personalized recommendations for titles we think a member may enjoy watching. In this particular case, we are testing whether surfacing recommendations between episodes helps members discover stories they will enjoy faster.”
The intitative is not permanent yet with company officials that they will be “looking at [user] behavior within the service”.
Internet Today covers the news and what the reaction has been to the addition of promos (or commercials?) has been so far.

Pearl Jam’s set to return to Wrigley Field tonight (rain, rain, go away). After a lengthy Cubs lovefest on Saturday, they busted out a cover of David Bowie’s “Rebel Rebel”:
Two finger kiss to the sky, the bicep bump and then fire down the line… that sums up Sister Mary Jo Sobieck of Marian Catholic High School’s first pitch before Saturday’s White Sox game.
Renteria tried to sign her on the spot. The White Sox called the pitch, “One of the most impressive first pitches of all time.”

Roanoke, Virginia — is not too terribly different than most of Chicago, it seems.
This east coast city is not immune from the problem of irresponsible dog owners who don’t pick up their furry friend’s — deposits.
Now, for whatever reason, it is a photocopied face of Nicolas Cage that is being planted in the careless turds to help bring attention to the issue.
Is it because Nic Cage is a terrible actor? OR….could it be that Nic Cage is GOOD at being a terrible actor? We may never know. — [eric]
