We've got a three-way standoff here, the truth maybe lying somewhere in the middle of the triangulation. We'll start with an Automotive News report that outlines some remarkable changes coming to the BMW lineup. AN credits Sam Fiorani at AutoForecast Solutions for intel that BMW will cease production of the 8 Series around the middle of 2026 without a successor in place. If that happens, it would mean the reborn 8 got eight years on the market, from 2018 to 2026, one year down on the original 8 Series from the 1990s. And stop us if you've heard this one before: Citing "a supply-chain industry source," AN reports that BMW will begin production of a new 6 Series around the middle of 2026. An anonymous BMW dealer told the outlet, in AN's words, the new 6 would "appeal to upwardly mobile consumers who appreciate performance and luxury," but it's not clear if the dealer was confirming the 6 rebirth or commenting on what a potential new 6 would do in the lineup.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

The folks over at Scrap Car Comparison, who apparently have a lot of free time on their hands while waiting for someone to pull in with a scrap car, decided it would be fun to scan the American Social Security Administration's rolls of baby names, and those of the U.K.'s Office of National Statistics, to find the countries' most- and least-popular names for newborns — that are also names of cars. The idea of doing the search, we should add, is clearly a better idea than actually naming a tender young human being after a hunk of metal.

For decades, Angola has forced prisoners to work in fields in extreme heat. Today, they urged a federal judge to halt the practice. Prisoners filed an emergency motion about working in the summer heat, as part of a proposed class-action lawsuit to end the “Farm Line” — forced agricultural labor at the prison, for little or no pay.
