| Instagram Is Reportedly Working on an Update That Will Allow You to See Your ‘Favorites’ First Posted: 10 Sep 2021 10:23 PM PDT  In general, I can be on the fence about Instagram. The pressure to be "perfect" for the 'gram can make me roll my eyes or bore me (though yes, I have succumbed to this pressure before, I'm only human). One thing Instagram knows is that I like is cats, which frequently leads me to ask myself: Why aren't there more cats… |
| Another Court Rules That Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Can Indeed Ban School Mask Mandates Posted: 10 Sep 2021 08:53 PM PDT  At this point, Florida's ban on mask mandates in public schools can be compared to Katy Perry's famous song, "Hot N Cold." Sometimes it's a yes, sometimes it's a no. |

| Google Reportedly Shortchanged Temps Around the Globe—Potentially Costing Them $100 Million in Wages Posted: 10 Sep 2021 02:30 PM PDT  What's an employer to do if they found out they had underpaid workers by millions of dollars what they were legally owed? If they had a conscience—or at least a fear of consequences—they could fess up and give them back pay owed. Google instead shrugged and dragged its feet on a remedy when it discovered that it had… |

| I Did Not Care for Mystery Men Then, And Now I Hate It Posted: 10 Sep 2021 01:10 PM PDT  Rewatching the 1999 superhero comedy Mystery Men was not a good decision. But it was a decision I made for specific, good reasons. I saw Mystery Men when it was originally released and didn't quite care for it. Didn't hate it, just didn't care for it. But, as we all know, in the years since its release, the pillars… |

| Hurricane Larry Thinks It's a Blizzard Posted: 10 Sep 2021 12:00 PM PDT Whom amongst us hasn't dreamt of being something they're not. Me, personally, I dream about quitting journalism to open a coffee roastery in a mountain town where I can sling joe in the morning and get a couple of laps in the afternoon. Maybe I'd even close the shop for an hour on mornings with fresh powder. Summers… |
| Fun Hack Turns Tiger Handhelds Into the Portable Emulator Every '90s Kid Actually Wanted Posted: 10 Sep 2021 11:50 AM PDT Last year Hasbro revealed it was resurrecting Tiger Electronics' handheld video games for those nostalgic for a gaming experience that was even more basic than the Game Boy.

| Lord of the Rings ‘Ultimate Collector’s Edition’ Isn’t That Ultimate: It’s Missing the Appendices Posted: 10 Sep 2021 10:10 AM PDT  There's big news for Lord of the Rings fans!

Tolkien's beloved fantasy series is coming to 4K Ultra HD again... and that's… |

| Apple Music Will Use Shazam to Get Everyone Paid for DJ Mixes Posted: 10 Sep 2021 09:40 AM PDT  It's been rough out here for DJs for a minute now. Like so many of us, they were cooped up inside for the better part of a year during a pandemic that forced the clubs, bars, and restaurants where they make the bulk of their money to shutter. Unlike the rest of us, working from home wasn't particularly feasible,… |
