See you on the other side
If I don't make it back, it's been my pleasure to entertain you all with cool stuff and news
The Supreme Court agreed Monday to review an Alaska bush pilot's claims that state authorities have tried to illegally seize his $95,000 airplane after a passenger brought a six-pack of beer on a flight bound for a dry village. It's simply govt overreach
taking his 1969 Cessna would violate the Eighth Amendment's "Excessive Fines Clause."
Read this article... it's worth it. Good for him to fight this bullshit, and get it to the Supreme Court who NEEDS to put the govt back in check

Ford only took 3 years to remedy leaking turbocharger oil return lines on the Australian Ranger and Everest
To date, no real fix has been issued - outside of just replacing failed lines with new ones of the same design - but now, The Blue Oval has come up with a solution.
According to CarSales, Ford has discovered the root cause of the problem, which stems from its Dagenham UK plant that builds the Lion V6 powerplant.
we identified that a specific assembly process at the engine plant in the United Kingdom could induce stress on the oil return line's O-ring groove, occasionally leading to a leak over time. To resolve this, we instituted a comprehensive assembly process enhancement

The Federal Highway Administration has quietly stripped bike lanes, speed cameras and several other best practices from a list of "Proven Safety Countermeasures,"
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy called them "DEI bike lanes" in a social media post earlier this month.
The FHWA says the changes to its website, which have not been previously reported, are part of a broader review of safety countermeasures to ensure they align with current DOT policies and the administration's priorities.

and so far I've heard of NOTHING to substantiate this to be legit, that they actually have these events. It could just be a data grab scam, who knows
did you see Pastrana's self adjusting wing at Goodwood Festival of Speed? Deployed in less than a second.
that wing couldn't deploy faster if it were anchored behind him and stayed put while he launched
this was either the coolest thing to happen at Goodwood, or the 2nd coolest and the other thing's been kept a secret

so the VP of the USA was getting a police escort through the Cotswolds of England.... when a tractor was using the road. Kaleb... from Clarkson's Farm
The viral story from The Times involves Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper telling US Vice President JD Vance's security detail to "**** off".
The incident occurred in the Cotswolds when Vance's large cavalcade of SUVs and police escorts stopped Kaleb while he was rushing to load wheat before the rain.
The incident occurred in the Cotswolds when Vance's large cavalcade of SUVs and police escorts stopped Kaleb while he was rushing to load wheat before the rain.
Jeremy Clarkson detailed the altercation in his column for The Times, describing how Cooper's tractor was halted by the security convoy. Rather than complying with the disruption, Kaleb ignored the blockade to get his load into the shed
“He arrived in a cavalcade of 27 massive black American SUVs and this was escorted by a shoal of British police remoras on motorcycles whose job was to shoo everyone out of the way. One of the people who they ordered to pull over was Kaleb Cooper, my tractor driver, but it was starting to rain and he urgently needed to get his load of wheat into the shed, so he invited his tormentor to eff off. And carried on regardless.”

a third-party inspection of a blown Toyota Tundra engine, the twin-turbo V6 that keeps failing without warning.
Officially, Toyota blames manufacturing debris left inside the oiling passages, which is impossible to verify independently without getting your hands on one.
That’s been a problem since the grenaded engines always get sent back as core exchanges, but someone finally got their hands on a blown V35A-FTS with just 38,000 miles.

San Diego PD busted by the city’s police oversight commission, for harassing blacks 4 to 1 compared to whites, or hispanics, or asians
Black drivers stopped for low-level traffic violations in San Diego were more than four times as likely as White drivers to be frisked and more than three times as likely to be subjected to force, according to an analysis presented by the city’s police oversight commission, which is recommending broad restrictions on so-called pretext stops.
At a community forum last weekend, the San Diego Commission on Police Practices unveiled four draft policy recommendations aimed at limiting officers’ ability to use minor equipment and administrative violations — such as broken tail lights, expired registration tags or objects hanging from rearview mirrors — as a basis for investigating unrelated suspected crimes.
Commission investigator Ethan Waterman presented a review of SDPD’s 2024 stop data, the most recent available.
According to Waterman, the department reported 103,463 stops in 2024, including about 24,000 traffic stops involving equipment violations and other non-moving infractions.
Within the low-level stop category, the commission identified significant racial disparities.

reboot of Rockford Files update
Boreanaz then said how The Rockford Files reboot will retain classic elements from the beloved detective show, ranging from the lead character’s classic car and “that California love,” to Jim Rockford’s diet of “tacos and hot dogs and Oreos.”
the NBC series re-teams Boreanaz with fellow SEAL Team actor Michaela McManus, who’d been cast as Kate, an East Hollywood detective who has a complicated romantic history with Rockford.
Jacki Weaver has also been cast as Karma, Rockford’s trailer park neighbor who’s described as “a tough and outspoken think tank analyst.”
The show follows the recently-paroled Rockford returning to his life as a private investigator “after doing time for a crime he didn’t commit.” The Rockford Files reboot will premiere on NBC in early 2027, and season 1 will consist of 13 episodes.
The midseason show tells you more about NBC’s confidence is the real estate: Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT, a slot the network reportedly held the series back specifically to anchor.

THIS is big brother watching, and too many bullies with badges abusing their access to Flock. Greene County, Georgia, deputy arrested after audit shows she used Flock cameras for personal reasons, sheriff says
the cowards in Georgia won't even state what she did, when she repeatedly accessed Flocks database without authorization, illegally.
It's so bad, they had to arrest her, and fire her.
And they will not let us get upset by learning what cops do with unlimited illegal access to Flock.
Former Greene County Deputy Quinsha Goss is facing charges of violating her oath of office and violating the prohibition on law enforcement retaining license plate data obtained from automated license plate recognition systems.
Authorities say an audit of the system on June 30 found that Goss had accessed the system for personal reasons multiple times over a three-month period.Goss' arrest and firing come just a day after the Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested five police officers in Albany, Georgia, accusing them of misusing their access to that city's Flock Safety System. All five have also been fired.
In June, the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office charged and fired two of its supervisors for allegedly misusing the county's system.
