Roundup: Watch People Destroy Bird Scooters; Cascadia Earthquake Fears; & How Kate Upton Saved Justin Verlander

Kendall Jenner, who turned 21 last week … I’d watch Idris Elba play James Bond but it’s not nearly as close to happen as this report claims … “Crocs Closing Manufacturing Facilities But Will Keep Making Shoes” … Chipotle, a place I used to love but haven’t eat at in four years after getting a bad allergic reaction, is desperate, grasping at bacon straws … “I Made a Deal in a Bike Race—And It Haunted Me for 15 Years” … the son of a police chief has been arrested for attacking a Sikh man in Northern California … “Florida man claimed to be surrounded by cats and alligators before being arrested for murder” … and now Omarosa has turned on the President, making pretty appalling allegations … such a sad story: “Aurora parents fighting to stop legally adopted 4-year-old daughter from being deported” … absolutely brutal for your dad to find you, naked and dead, after you killed yourself during a solo sex act …
