5 stories coming your way — a sneak peek

Fri Oct 16, 2026, 08:02 PM EDT · 295 words

The first two issues are already loaded up. Here's a taste of what's coming — picked fresh, no filler:

1. THE UN-CARRIER THAT PICKED YOUR POCKET (Issue #1, Oct 25)

They sold you a "Price Lock," then changed what the word "lock" means. $288 million in new revenue — straight out of working folks' pockets. We've got the receipts, the lawsuits, and the fee they hope you never notice. All in the first issue.

2. DUMBEST CRIMINAL OF THE WEEK (Issue #1, Oct 25)

A man missed his flight, so he stole the airport tug. Crashed it. Then tried to steal the poop truck. You can't make this shit up — and we didn't have to. Every week, the dumbest crook in America gets the spotlight he earned.

3. BLAME THE TRIGGER FINGER, NOT THE TRIGGER (Issue #2, Nov 1)

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. October 15th proved it in three minutes flat. The numbers the evening news won't show you — coming November 1st.

4. THE CAMERAS WATCHING YOUR PLATES (Issue #2, Nov 1)

A Canadian kid built a $180 camera that tracks cop cars instead of citizens — and the cops showed up at HIS door scared. Meanwhile one company has over 300,000 cameras logging YOUR license plate. Full exposé coming.

5. ASK A MECHANIC + SHOP TALK (every week, starting Oct 25)

Got a repair quote that smells like bullshit? A shop nightmare that still makes you mad years later? Every week we're answering YOUR questions and featuring YOUR stories. Drop them in the comments — the first batch runs in Issue #1.
