I want to, I swear! I just first need to drive my Prius until the wheels fall off. Should only take another 10 years or so.

bold and wildly inexplicable photo choice here

I mean, did they show up late to the interview with an iced coffee that they clearly stopped on the way to get? Because otherwise I'm not sure why I'm supposed to care.

Online sportsbooks say they do not want business from problem gamblers. So @propublica.org's Jake Pearson spent 10 weeks on DraftKings testing how the company would react to someone displaying all the hallmarks of a compulsive bettor. Spoiler: It made him a VIP. www.propublica.org/article/draf...

Starbucks to close at least 11 locations across Oregon and Washington, including four union shops

Tired: drunk driving may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not. Wired: Killing people while driving drunk isn't even homicide unless the drunk driving was undertaken for the purpose of killing people.

Really, it's the perfect dad game. 1998-sized world and the same underlying game you've played a dozen times so you can play in short bursts without losing your place or taking years to beat it, but with visuals souped way the hell up so you can tell yourself that yes, the 4K TV was necessary.

The first three Amtrak Cascades Airo trainsets will enter revenue service Sept. 30! www.kgw.com/article/news...

The kid in me hates that the new Ocarina of Time is a shot-for-shot remake and not an expanded reimagining, but the dad in me has to admit that if they gave it the full FF7R treatment I'd never have time to finish it.

My Plex server runs off a single big hard drive from the Before Times. There is no backup. When it dies, everything goes. As they say in Snowpiercer, hard drives are extinct.

I think I'm hearing bass from the Bridge City Block Party right now? I am well over a mile away from the waterfront with many, many buildings in between.

Lotta people on here freaking out at the Times because they don't like the Times but the work here was done by the Tow Center and it's a legit and important look at how politicians get their message out. www.cjr.org/tow_center/m...
