Dear Truck Owners: Secure Your Tailgates

Dear Truck Owners: Secure Your Tailgates

Published by Jenni Sidey

First, thieves were cutting catalytic converters off petrol-powered vehicles because of the valuable platinum, palladium, and rhodium inside the exhaust systems, which convert toxic engine gases into safer emissions. Now, it appears thieves are targeting trucks in one part of the country, not for precious metals, but for entire tailgates. CBS affiliate KHOU 11, which serves Houston, Texas, recently reported on a vehicle-parts theft ring targeting trucks for their tailgates. The outlet interviewed a Texas truck owner whose tailgate had been stolen. While searching Facebook Marketplace for a replacement, he stumbled across something unexpectedly familiar: his own tailgate. The finding led Harris County Precinct 4 deputies to recover eight stolen tailgates from an apartment garage in Harris County, situated in the northwestern part of the Houston metropolitan area, and arrest two 27-year-old men. Investigators said the owner had placed unique markings on the tailgate before it was stolen, allowing deputies to verify that the item advertised online belonged to him. “Our complainants had some unique markings on the tailgate that we were able to verify belonged to the …

Dear diary… there’s been a murder!

Dear diary… there’s been a murder!

Add Ludwig to your watchlist 1st September 2025 Ludwig is starting to film again, more than a year after we shot the first series. I feel daunted. I love making this show (I always dreamed of playing a character who potters around thoughtfully in a mac, realising things) but, in another way, it’s like going back to school. I’m now going to be doing this thing every weekday until Christmas. Making a single episode of a drama can take two or three weeks. The last thing I filmed was Would I Lie to You, which takes two or three hours. (Although this doesn’t seem like a short time to guests who are new to panel shows. I remember when Ronnie Corbett was on my team in 2010. He was used to the timing of the 1970s; he assumed it would take about 40 minutes. As we entered the third hour, the chuckles of this 79-year-old comedy hero became less jovial by the second). The first week of Ludwig series two involves a lot of car …

Dear Trump: Time To Flood America’s Weigh Stations With ICE And CBP Agents

Published by Jenni Sidey

Submitted by American Truckers United, We, the truckers who keep America moving, have had enough.  An analysis of crash data and English proficiency violations reveals that drivers from just a handful of states are largely responsible for the epidemic of illegal alien truck and bus drivers terrorizing our highways. These preventable tragedies must end now. We are formally calling on President Donald J. Trump to immediately deploy ICE and CBP officers to commercial weigh stations across the entire country. No more half-measures. No more looking the other way. American families deserve safe roads. The Deadly Data Doesn’t Lie Our review of crash statistics shows that alleged illegal alien truck drivers operating under USDOT numbers domiciled out of California, Illinois, Ohio, Oklahoma, Florida, Massachusetts, and New York are responsible for over 29 fatalities nationwide. Trooper Michael Pahira’s death was 100% preventable. A Pennsylvania State Trooper — a 20-year veteran — was struck and killed on I-81 while conducting a routine commercial vehicle inspection. The driver? Michael Bon, a Haitian illegal alien who entered under Biden parole, had… …

Amid recent debates about the fringe practice of concertgoers wearing adult nappies – in a bid to avoid losing their spot at the front of the crowd – a Kahan gig this week saw one audience member forego the measure entirely. A video that went viral on TikTok showed the obscene aftermath after a fan seemingly defecated on the floor near the front of his recent performance in Philadelphia. Kahan, who is best known for his hit single “Stick Season”, addressed the incident on X/Twitter on Saturday (28 June).

Dear You gets 8 additional Teochew screenings after sell-out run

Published by Sam Flores

Theatre chain Golden Village (GV) and film distributor Clover Films have added eight more screenings of Dear You in its original Teochew language. The additional screenings will take place from Jun 25 to 29 at GVmax at GV VivoCity. Tickets will go on sale at 3pm on Jun 22 via GV’s box office counters and online channels. The move comes after all eight of the Chinese film’s previously announced Teochew-language screenings, held from Jun 18 to 21, sold out. Directed and co-written by Lan Hongchun, Dear You follows two interconnected timelines: a grandson searching for his long-lost grandfather in present-day Thailand, and a newly married man who leaves China for Southeast Asia during the 1940s in search of work. The film has become one of China’s biggest box-office successes this year, grossing more than 1.7 billion yuan (S$322 million). In an earlier statement to CNA Lifestyle, an Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) spokesperson said the film’s original Teochew version could be screened at premieres, festivals and niche events, in addition to the Mandarin-dubbed version.  “This …

China’s Underdog Box Office Phenomenon ‘Dear You’ Lands U.K., France Release

China’s Underdog Box Office Phenomenon ‘Dear You’ Lands U.K., France Release

Published by Daniella Wilson

Trinity CineAsia has acquired all rights for the U.K., Ireland and France to Dear You, the Teochew-language family drama that has become the heroic underdog story of China’s 2026 box office. The U.K. distributor picked up the title from Hugoeast and Damai Entertainment and will open it in British and Irish cinemas June 26, with a French theatrical release to follow. The acquisition was announced on the first day of the Shanghai International Film Festival, running June 12-21. Released in China on April 30 with little fanfare, Dear You was made for a reported 14 million RMB (about $2 million) and cast largely with non-professional actors from the Chaoshan region — its lead a 20-year-old finance student with no prior screen credits. Six weeks in, the film’s Chinese gross stands at RMB 1.69 billion (roughly $250 million), per ticketing platform Maoyan — some 120 times its production cost — with only Han Han’s Lunar New Year racing comedy Pegasus 3 having earned more in the country this year. The film has also brought a much-needed …
