GTA 6 is set in Vice City. I get why. Of all the GTA locales over the decades, we've seen Vice City a handful of times, none of which were enough to give the city a distinct identity like Liberty City developed. Now's the time to change that. But I can't help thinking about how different GTA 6 and the broader series could be with a change of setting, something that wasn't just another big, bad city. These are 10 of the things that popped into my mind.

Lolla 2026

Grammy winner Dean celebrated breaking a U.K. chart record with surprise guest Sam Fender

Rain that flooded Chicago overnight and continued to fall on Saturday delayed the third day of Lollapalooza 2026 and caused organizers to push back doors by about three hours for cleanup. The downpours caused pooling throughout Grant Park where the festival is held. By the time it opened at 3 p.m., the grounds were understandably muddy, but navigable for attendees.

Laid to rest with care: Ancient infants, perhaps twins, found in 1,200-year-old latrine

More than 1,000 years ago, two babies were tucked away in an abandoned Roman toilet channel. Yet, despite what the location suggests, they were cherished, not discarded.

‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Swings to Mind-Blowing $355 Million Debut, Second-Biggest Opening Weekend in Box Office History

With great power comes truly heroic ticket sales.

Sony and Marvel‘s comic book adventure “Brand New Day” obliterated box office expectations, collecting a jaw-dropping $355 million from 4,487 North American theaters. It’s the second-biggest debut in domestic box office history, following 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame” with $357 million, not adjusted for inflation. “Brand New Day” could end up eclipsing the all-time record if Monday’s final tally lands above estimates. No other films have ever come close to surpassing $300 million in a single weekend. The third-largest domestic opening belongs to 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home” with $260 million, followed by 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War” with $257 million. Yes, Marvel Studios now boasts the four largest openings of all time at the domestic box office.

Somehow, This 1977 BMW 320i Was Driven Just 9000 Miles in 49 Years

• Not as favored by collectors as the BMW 2002, nor with the large fan base of the E30-generation 3-series, the preceding E21-gen 320i is an overlooked classic.
• This one is unusually well preserved, with an unbelievably low 9000 miles on the odometer.
• It's a great enthusiast spec, with a four-speed manual, sport options, and a limited-slip differential.

BMW has produced all manner of special and collectible cars over the years, but the heart of the breed is not really about the M3 and M5 and 2002tii. Instead, it's about how a more ordinary sedan bearing that blue-and-white roundel can make everyday drives feel just a little more wonderful, turning the daily commute into something to be looked forward to. Of course, the problem with cars that are made to elevate daily drives is that they typically get driven. A lot.

Why Your Tire's Official Pressure Recommendation Isn't Always The Right PSI - Jalopnik

Today in tire school, we'll start off by addressing some terms. First, what do we mean by the official tire pressure recommendation? It is not the numeral on the tire sidewall, because inflating to that number is a terrible idea. Usually, those sidewall digits refer to the maximum allowed pressure, and for normal use, you want to avoid that — but, as we'll explain later, normal doesn't mean all circumstances. Instead, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wants you to look at your car's B pillar — the junction where the driver's door meets the back of the car – for a placard that lists the correct pounds-per-square inch (PSI).
