I am posting this to The Verge Dot Com from my phone on the NYC subway...

The US government wants to ban gas stoves? Good luck fighting Hank Hill.
Breaking news: Deadline reports that King of The Hill will return, and there’s no way in hell the lord of propane is going to allow lawmakers to seize gas stoves from the people.
Welcome to America. We sell propane and propane accessories.

This computer was pretty “OK.”
We’re excited to say that the first piece from our partnership with the Computer History Museum is live today: a look back at the Apple Lisa and its long-lasting impact on our relationship with computers. Stay tuned later this week and beyond for a look inside a rare collection of Polaroids from the Lisa’s development, and an upcoming Verge video documentary on the Lisa’s final act. (Hint: it involves a landfill and lots of security guards.)
It’s not too late to participate in CHM’s virtual event celebrating the Lisa, happening today at 7PM PT / 10 PM ET. You can register to attend below:

FDA proposes further lifting discriminatory blood donation policies.
The agency has gradually lifted restrictions on blood donations over the past decade, but rules on who can give blood have still been punishing for gay and bisexual men.

Happy GoldenEye day! The world record for beating the game is 19 minutes 22 seconds.

(They’re typefaces, not fonts.)
Nonetheless, these days every inch of our digital landscape seems like it’s being mined for more revenue. (See: Pantone colors suddenly requiring a $15/month subscription.) If you want to use NPR’s new typefaces, you can grab Lato and Source Sans Pro for free under the Open Font License at Google Fonts. (Yes, it’s called Google Fonts, which contains many typefaces.)

I won’t play the Dead Space remake, but I’m glad it exists.
(It’s simply 2spooky4me.) But I’ve often thought about, if I last long enough, whether I’ll be able to play the cherished games of my youth in my twilight years. I’m excited to see that more games from the past are being resurrected. Remakes could simply be good business for game companies, but I also think they’re potentially valuable for digital preservation.
