Our National Parks are celebrating one hundred years of connecting Americans with our wild lands, so what better way than to visit a Park than a late-summer road trip? Coleman has brought back some classic designs to honor the heritage of our National Parks with the Coleman National Parks Centennial series line of camping stoves and accessories. We couldn’t be more excited to take some of this gear and hit the highway.

FyreKnight Stove, $150

Coleman FyrekKnight Stove
In 2015, Coleman intriduced their Hyperflame design to their classic briefcase stoves (we love them for some good basecamp cooking). The all new FyreKnight incorporates Hyperflame with classic National Park colors and the Centennial logo. It also features rugged bumpers so it won’t slip when you’re cooking on a tailgate or picnic table. We recommend augmenting it with one of Coleman’s Cast Iron Griddles ($35) so you can really step up your campsite breakfast game.

Steel Belted Cooler, $200

Coleman Steel Belted Cooler
This 54-quart cooler conjures up some of our best childhood camping memories. While it looks just like dad’s old Coleman cooler from the 1960s, the stainless steel body is decidedly more durable for long hauls in the back of a truck. It’s large enough to hold 85 cans of your favorite beverage, and tall enough to fit upright two-liter bottles. Rated to hold ice for up to four days, this mighty little cooler can handle all your long weekend needs.

NorthStar Lantern, $65

Coleman Northstar Lantern
The NorthStar is a refinement of Coleman’s decades-long best selling lantern line. The National Parks Centennial livery makes this a special piece to bring along. Its push button ignition takes the guess work out of turning the gas just right for getting it lit with matches. A maximum 1540-lumen brightness means your campsite will be well lit long into the night as you prepare dinner and enjoy a few campfire cocktails.

Everything points to Apple TV+ making a change you’re not going to like
Is an ad-supported tier coming to Apple TV+?
The Apple TV Plus Logo

It turns out that TV worked pretty well under its old model. According to a new report from Business Insider, Apple TV+ may be the latest streaming service that's set to introduce an ad-supported tier and charge those who don't stream with ads a premium fee to access their great shows and movies.

At this point, the report is still speculation, but Apple has made several recent hires in the advertising space that seem to suggest the direction they're planning to take. The company recently hired former NBCUniversal ad executive Joseph Cady to serve as executive vice president of advanced advertising and partnerships, a move that comes following the company's hiring of another former NBCUniversal executive, Jason Frum, who joined Apple's video ad sales team.

From Gilda Radner to Ali Wong, these are the best female comedians of all time
These women from all generations will make you laugh out loud
Ai Wong comedian 2017 Moontower comedy festival

Hot take: I don’t care for straight male comedians. It’s not that they’re not funny, they’re just … I don’t know, boring? Maybe that’s reductive of me, but I never seem to leave a straight male comedian’s set feeling particularly inspired. And though some may argue that it’s not important for a set to "inspire" its audience, I’d actually argue that the opposite is true. For me, I want to see a comedian use humor to address real issues and say real things about the world, even if they do it in a completely goofy way.

Therefore, I tend to prefer female and female-identified comedians. They’re sharp, tough, and have often seen shit that makes their comedy feel raw and true. Undoubtedly there are male comedians who do this, too, but to a much lesser degree, in my very humble and very personal opinion.

12 classic sci-fi books everyone should read
If you love science fiction and reading, these classic sci-fi novels are a must
Man reading a book and drinking coffee

It may feel like we were recently living in a science-fiction dystopia life -- and in some ways, we were -- but that doesn't mean that we should simply avoid an entire genre of writing. Hardly. In fact, this is probably the perfect time to explore classic sci-fi books, to see what the masters have written, and maybe even see if someone predicted anything like this. Many, though, simply ignore sci-fi wholly and completely because of an association with robots, aliens, and the like.

Long story short, if you think you don't like sci-fi, you have never read great books from the genre. But indeed, many such books abound, including a number that has delighted generations of readers going back well over 150 years. In fact, one of the best things about so many sci-fi books is their very timelessness. As by definition, this type of fiction breaks away from the norms of the everyday world -- whether slightly twisting things or taking place on entire other worlds -- the stories often feel as fresh and relevant today as when they were published decades ago.
