After Ryan Lochte's international scandal at the 2016 Rio Olympics, he settled down with Kayla Rae Reid and started a family. It looked like the start of a fresh chapter for the controversial athlete, but now, his messy divorce is making headlines.
On June 28, Lochte's estranged wife shared with her Instagram followers how she's doing in the wake of their divorce. She wrote in the carousel, "Reminders I'm telling myself right now."
“You’re stepping into the best chapter of your life — you just have to heal first,” Reid posted and then added in another slide, “Sometimes God allows betrayal… because it leads to the breakthrough.”
A third image read, “Most people have no idea what I’ve endured. Ignore their opinions. Truth always reveals itself.”
Reid continued, "Divorce isn’t the end of my story. It’s the beginning of my rebirth. I didn’t choose to be broken, but I’m choosing to rebuild.”
The 33-year-old model filed for divorce on March 26, per court documents obtained by Page Six, but the relationship news wasn't revealed until June 4. Reid has hinted about an alleged affair by her ex, but there were also major financial discoveries in the legal filing.
The duo is $250,000 in debt, per Us Weekly, with an IRS balance of $99,696.09 from the 2021 and 2022 tax years, a 2024 lien from the Fletcher Park Owner’s Association in Gainesville, FL for $2,231.76, and a 2023 lien of $127,977.73 from Shands Teaching Hospital and Clinic. The retired swimmer also owes $39,720.15 for an additional hospital stay in February 2024.
Despite the personal setbacks, Reid is promising her social media friends that she's staging a major comeback.
"First you survive, then you thrive," she wrote in the caption of her post.
The couple, who married in 2018, share three children: Caiden, 7, Liv, 5, and Georgia, 23 months.

For decades, body mass index—or BMI—has been the go-to tool for evaluating weight and overall health. But a new study says it might be time to toss that metric aside for good.
CNN reported that researchers from the University of Florida analyzed data from over 4,200 adults and found that BMI may completely miss serious health risks, especially in younger people.
While BMI simply calculates weight in relation to height, it doesn’t account for muscle, fat, or water composition, factors that could mean the difference between health and danger. Instead, scientists point to bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) as a more accurate and revealing method.
BIA uses a small, painless electric current to determine your body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, and water content. According to the study, people with high body fat, regardless of their BMI, were 262 percent more likely to die from heart disease and 78% more likely to die from any cause within 15 years.
“In this younger population, BMI didn’t flag any risk,” said study author Dr. Frank Orlando. “But high body fat absolutely did. That’s a game-changer.”
The researchers argue that even those who appear “normal” by BMI standards could be walking around with hidden health threats, like visceral fat wrapped around major organs. That type of fat has been linked to high blood pressure, inflammation, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and insulin resistance.
Doctors have long known that BMI has flaws. Athletes often show up as “obese” due to muscle mass. Seniors can appear healthy despite having dangerous fat-to-muscle ratios.
The appeal of BMI has always been its simplicity. It’s cheap, fast, and easy to calculate. The new study suggests that simplicity may come at a cost.
“Let’s face it, the magnitude of risk this study shows is enormous,” said Dr. Andrew Freeman, director of cardiovascular prevention at National Jewish Health, who was not involved in the research. “It’s scary to think that we may have been using a surrogate — BMI — that may not have been all that accurate over the years.”
While BIA machines aren’t as expensive as gold-standard DEXA scans, they’re still not as widely used in doctor’s offices. But as tech improves and awareness grows, the hope is that body fat percentage, not BMI, becomes the new gold standard.
Because when it comes to your health, what you can’t see might hurt you.
The next time you're at the grocery store, you might want to think twice about shopping from the bulk bins in the aisles.
The bins possibly pose multiple health risks to consumers, according to Food Poisoning News, and everyone should be aware of the potential dangers. The bulk aisles often contain trail mix, dried fruits, spices, nuts, and beans, and can be a major cost-saving way to stock up on these items. Unfortunately, the media outlet noted that the "biggest concern with bulk bins is hygiene."
Even in a store with regular cleaning practices, customers often contaminate the scoops, especially after coughing or sneezing. They might use their bare hands to touch the food items or drop the scoop on the floor and return it to the bin without sanitizing it.

Other issues include bacteria and mold growth from the storage of foods, allergen cross-contamination, and the dreaded insects and rodents — bulk bins are exposed to the elements.
What is a consumer to do? Well, King Retail Solutions (KRS) offered a few tips for grocery stores and consumers, especially in a post-pandemic world.
The company suggests "using gravity bins to dispense product without customers having to open bins and scoop out the product. Beyond discouraging the spread of pathogens, gravity bins can help reduce the release of allergens, especially if grocers are intentional about using dedicated equipment and putting procedures in place to prevent cross-contamination."
KRS also recommends that retailers have a "cleaning and sanitation strategy" to keep those pesky intruders like insects and mice away. It's also a strong way to show consumers that cleanliness is a top priority for the business. These tips might help minimize some of the health risks that traditional bulk bins pose to consumers at grocery stores for a more sanitary experience.
Food is getting more and more expensive these days, so it's always nice when you can get a little extra for your buck.
That's exactly what happened to one McDonald's customer who ordered an ice cream cone recently and got way more than they were expecting.
Reddit user BleachSupporter posted a photo of an ice cream cone they ordered from the fast-food giant and there was an unfathomably large quantity of soft-serve vanilla ice cream piled onto the cone.
Our words don't really do it any justice, though. You have to see for yourself to truly understand just how massive this cone was.
"Received this huge ice cream cone from McDonald's," the post read.
That is just obscene and excellent all at the same time. That said, it's going to be a huge mess once melting starts and gravity takes over. Hopefully the McDonald's patron got some extra napkins.
Apparently, there might be a perfectly good explanation for why this customer received such a heavy dose of ice cream.
The original poster said they made the trip to McDonald's close to closing time, and one reply stated that, in their experience working at a fast-food restaurant, the workers would unload the ice cream machine before closing because of the need to clean it.

"You have to empty and sterilize the soft serve machines after closing," the reply said. "Better to give it away than wash it down the sink."
So, possible hack unlocked. If you're looking for a little extra with your fast food order, try going closer to closing time and you might get lucky.
Kylie Kelce gave birth to her fourth child back in March, but the successful podcaster and wife of Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce is a little worried about two of her older daughters.
The Kelces have four daughters aged five and under. Wyatt Elizabeth, 5, is the oldest, followed by Elliotte Ray, 4, and Bennett Llewellyn, 2. Three-month-old Finnley Anne is the baby of the family.
This week, Kylie appeared on the House of Maher podcast, where she discussed an area of concern she has about the relationships of her older children. Wyatt and Elliotte used to be "thick as thieves," but now the latter is developing a closer bond with Bennett, which has Kylie a "little bit worried."
"It's funny right now our two oldest are only 17 months apart, so for a while they were like thick as thieves, like they would go and do stuff," Kylie said, via PEOPLE. "But now our second and our third seem to be pairing up, so I'm a little bit worried about that because of the power of suggestion [and] how it works on our second and how manipulative our third is."
Kylie went on to clarify that her two-year-old is "manipulative to everyone," joking that Bennett is "bats--t crazy" and providing an example.
"We had recently had a conversation about how mom's not doing laundry just to do laundry, and so we're not going to wear 17 outfits in a day. We're not doing that," she said. "Apparently, we are doing that, so she made sure that could happen."
Kylie, 33, and Jason Kelce, 37, have been married since 2018. By all accounts, it seems like they have this parenting thing under control, but Kylie admitted to the Maher sisters that she still has occasional self-doubt.
"I mean, I still am not sure that I have it, to be honest," she said. "I tell everybody I'm winging it.
"I've always known that I wanted to have like four kids, so I guess to some degree I was like 'Yeah.' Before motherhood, I was like 'Give me all the babies.' Now that I'm in motherhood, I'm like, 'Am I doing this right?' Every day."
"Fortnite" is one of the most popular video games of all time, and it's turned developer Epic Games into one of the largest companies on the planet. The free-to-play battle royale game has become a platform and ecosystem of its own, with experiences catered to nearly ever player imaginable.
The game is also available on nearly every major gaming platform, including mobile phones. Millions of active users log on to Fortnite every day, and they could be in line for a payment from Epic in the near future.
The Federal Trade Commission is issuing $126 million worth of refunds to "Fortnite" players as part of a 2023 settlement with Epic Games. The settlement is the result of allegations that the company used "deceptive practices to trick players into making unwanted purchases" within the game.
The settlement was reached after the FTC introduced complaints from parents who noted that their children were charged for items like outfits and battle passes without their consent.
"Today's announcement brings the total amount of refunds the FTC has issued to consumers related to Epic's deceptive billing practices to nearly $200 million," the FTC said in its announcement.
Players who have not filed a formal claim as part of the refund process can still apply until July 9. In order to receive a refund, players will need to provide their Epic account ID as well as a claim number.
In the original complaint, the FTC alleged that Epic used "dark patterns" - intentionally confusing game design that tricked players into purchasing items without their understanding.
"Fortnite’s counterintuitive, inconsistent, and confusing button configuration led players to incur unwanted charges based on the press of a single button," the organization said.
The FTC also says that Epic locked customers' accounts if they disputed unauthorized charges from the game with their credit card companies.
"Fortnite" itself is free to play, but the game includes several in-app purchases like outfits, game items and more. Some items are able to be purchased directly with a corresponding dollar amount, but others must be purchased with "V Bucks," Epic's in-game currency.
We'll see if the settlement induces further change to the game's user experience.
A crash involving a car and a commuter train in Gary, Indiana had devastating results Wednesday night.
At around 10 p.m. Wednesday, Gary Police were dispatched to the U.S. Route 20 and Utah Street in response to a call about a train colliding with a motor vehicle.
When police and fire department officials arrived, they discovered all five occupants of the car dead, having been ejected from the SUV which was "severely damaged," per a Gary Police press release.
South Shore Line President Mike Noland said the train containing 32 passengers was of US 12 and 7th Street when the vehicle "went around the gates and into the train's path," reported CBS affiliate WBBM-TV.
"Preliminary investigation suggests that the vehicle struck by the train went around an active railroad crossing," said Gary Police.
So far, the identities of the five victims have not been released, though Gary Police Chief Derek Cannon told ABC affiliate WLS-TV it is believed there were three men and two women. None of the train's occupants or crew members suffered injuries.
The incident remains under investigation by the Gary Police Department and NICTD Transit Police Department.
"The Gary Police Department extends our sincere condolences to the friends and families of those affected by this heartbreaking tragedy. You are in our thoughts and prayers, and we are committed to providing you with unwavering support during this difficult time," said the police release.
South Shore Line service was temporarily suspended following the accident but resumed as scheduled Thursday morning.
"Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragic incident," said the South Shore Line in a statement.
"We remind everyone to never attempt to cross railroad tracks when signals are activated, and to always expect a train on any track from any direction at any time."
Ahead of the season 14 revival of King of the Hill on Hulu, a San Antonio, TX-based brewery is bringing the show's fictional "Alamo" beer to life.
According to the Express-News, San Antonio's Alamo Beer Co. is partnering with Hulu to make it all happen before the season 14 premiere on Aug. 4.
It used to be that, for years, only Hank, Dale, Bill and Boomhauer got to enjoy their good 'ol "Alamo" beer from the comfort of their grassy sidewalk and in front of their wood fence, but now you'll be able to crack one open, and much sooner if you reside in Texas. (Just stay away from the sidewalk).
"It's real," Alamo Beer Co. founder Eugene Simor told the Express-News. "We're just trying to finalize when the actual date will be for release."
In fact, the outlet reports that some lucky enough to attend the revival's sneak peek in May at the ATX TV Festival in Austin got to enjoy the "easily chuggable" beer.

The new "Alamo" beer should hit shelves in July or August. But you're in luck if you live in Texas. Simor told the Express-News that the "Alamo" beer will first hit shelves in Texas before it's distributed nationally.
Mike Judge's King of the Hill, which aired a whopping 13 seasons on Fox from 1997 to 2010 and is based in a fictional Texas suburb, will have a 10-episode reboot on Hulu.
According to the streaming giant, the season 14 revival "picks up several years after we last saw the Hill family -- Hank and Peggy Hill are now retired and return to a changed Arlen after years of working in Saudi Arabia; and Bobby is 21 and living his best life while navigating adulthood as a chef in Dallas.”

“This is absolutely perfect. It works great, and for this price, how much better can it get?” one shopper asked. “Small, compact, and works great. As good as any of the top-selling brands my friends have.”
“This rangefinder is very easy to use, highly accurate in distance measurement, capable of measuring uphill and downhill distances, has a long battery life, and is reasonably priced,” another reviewer said. “I strongly recommend.”
The Jiskan Pro Laser Golf Rangefinder earned the prized “Amazon’s Choice” label, meaning it’s a hot commodity and could sell out soon. Add it to your cart ASAP before you’re unable to find the mega retailer’s 51% markdown.
Bobby Sherman was a beloved teen idol who charmed audiences in the 1960s with songs like "Little Woman."
He also starred in a number of television series and movies throughout the years.
Sherman has died at the age 81.
The cause of death was stage 4 cancer, according to TMZ, which reported that Sherman died on the morning of June 24 at his home in Encino, CA.
Actor John Stamos posted a tribute to Sherman on his Instagram page.
"From one ex teen idol, to another - rest in peace Bobby Sherman," he wrote. This is from his wife, my friend, Brigitte."
Stamos then shared the statement from Sherman's wife, which read, in part, “It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Bobby Sherman. Bobby left this world holding my hand—just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace through all 29 beautiful years of marriage. I was his Cinderella, and he was my prince charming. Even in his final days, he stayed strong for me. That’s who Bobby was—brave, gentle, and full of light."
"As he rested, I read him fan letters from all over the world—words of love and gratitude that lifted his spirits and reminded him of how deeply he was cherished. He soaked up every word with that familiar sparkle in his eye," the post continued.
"And yes, he still found time to crack well-timed jokes—Bobby had a wonderful, wicked sense of humor. It never left him. He could light up a room with a look, a quip, or one of his classic, one-liners."
She added: "Known around the world for his music and acting, he brought joy to millions through songs like 'Julie Love Me,' 'Easy Come, Easy Go,' and 'Little Woman,' and through his beloved role in Here Come the Brides."
Brigitte Sherman added: " But to those who truly knew him, Bobby was something much more. He was a man of service. He traded sold-out concerts and magazine covers for the back of an ambulance, becoming an EMT and a trainer with the LAPD. He saved lives. He showed us what real heroism looks like—quiet, selfless, and deeply human."
In addition to his wife, Sherman "is survived by his two sons, Tyler and Christopher, and six beautiful grandchildren," she wrote.
Barbra Streisand hasn't appeared in a film since "The Guilt Trip" in 2012, but her fans are hoping she'll return for "Meet the Parents 4" in 2026.
"Meet the Parents 4" is set to be released on Nov. 25, 2026. Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro will continue starring in this series. The Hollywood Reporter announced that "Wicked" star Ariana Grande will also play a role in this comedy.
Will Streisand join this star-studded cast? She was asked about "Meet the Parents 4" during an appearance on the "Just for Variety" podcast.
Streisand made it clear that she'd need to receive a nice payday in order to reprise her role as Roz Focker.
"They’d have to pay me a lot of money because I didn’t get paid what the other people got paid and so I’m pissed off," Streisand told Variety. "I was in the time when women were getting paid less than the men. The head of Universal was Ron Meyer at the time, and he actually sent me a bonus check. It was very sweet."
Streisand had a fairly important role in the sequel to "Meet the Parents," so it's a bit surprising that she didn't get paid what other actors and actresses did.
The first sequel to "Meet the Parents" made $522 million at the box office on an $82 million budget.
We'll see if Universal can strike a fair deal with Streisand for "Meet the Parents 4."
Can-Am’s aim with the new Canyon is to make the core experience of adventure riding accessible to as many people as possible.
Courtesy Image
No one in their right mind would tell you that riding an adventure motorcycle off-road is easy. Yes, it’s thrilling, fun, and incredibly rewarding, but there’s nothing easy about learning to ride a heavy machine in the dirt.
As such, it comes as no surprise that so many would-be adventurers pass on the trip of a lifetime because the potential risks seem so high. Speaking from experience as someone with a decade of off-road riding under their belt, getting to this point took a lot of practice, and I’ve earned my fair share of injuries along the way.
The Canyon serves as a means to get out and explore, plain and simple.
Align Media
The folks at Can-Am are looking to change all that with their latest three-wheeler, the Can-Am Canyon. The idea is simple: When you add a third wheel, you take away the risk—and in doing so, lower the barrier to entry for adventure riding.
That’s all well and good, but one glaring question remains: Does adding a third wheel subtract from the fun factor?
Why the Can-Am Canyon Makes Sense
A third wheel takes the sting out of learning to ride on dirt.
Align Media
Can-Am’s aim with the new Canyon is to make the core experience of adventure riding accessible to as many people as possible. Think open-air travel, exploring gravel and dirt roads, and carrying all the gear you need with you wherever the road takes you.
The three-wheeled layout means there’s no need to worry about balance or stability, while a hand-operated semi-automatic transmission removes the need to work a clutch or foot shifter. Those features make the Canyon as easy to ride solo as it is loaded down with gear and a passenger, whether you're riding on pavement or dirt roads.
The Canyon offers a litany of storage options, including these color-matched locking bags that come on the Redrock version.
Align Media
If you can drive an electric shopping cart around your local grocery store, chances are you can handle the Canyon just fine. And while most jurisdictions require a motorcycle license to legally operate a three-wheeler, you can also take your test and earn your endorsement on one, so the learning curve is low across the board.
Sprinkle in an assortment of dirt-friendly features like all-terrain tires, more suspension travel, and more ground clearance, and you’ve got an easy-to-ride rig that’s ready and willing to take on the same sort of light off-roading that most adventure riders enjoy.
The concept made sense to me, so I decided to head out to Prescott, Arizona, to try the Canyon out firsthand.
Riding a three-wheeled bike is unlike anything else on the road.
Align Media
As far as adventure riding goes, it doesn’t get much better than Prescott, AZ. The small town lies just outside the breathtaking beauty of Sedona, and it is surrounded by a jaw-droppingly scenic mixture of winding pavement and dirt roads.
I spent a cloudless, sunny day riding a few different versions of the new Canyon through a panorama of pink canyons, wild horses, and sandy washes. I’ll cut straight to the chase: If you’re looking to have yourself an adventure, the Canyon can take you there.
The seat is comfortable enough for a full day in the saddle, the wind protection is downright flawless (even at highway speeds with an off-road helmet), and the machine itself is enjoyable and engaging to ride. You could do a lot worse for an open-air cross-country trip.
With that being said, let’s get one thing straight: Despite what the local authorities say, Can-Am’s three-wheeled vehicles aren’t motorcycles, and this one is no different. My first impression after climbing aboard the Canyon was that it felt completely alien to anything else I’d ever thrown a leg over.
And I’m not just talking about motorcycles here. I’ve driven every sort of car and truck known to humans, and I've even driven other three-wheeled oddities like the popular Polaris Slingshot. None of it translates to riding a Can-Am three-wheeler.
You have to get a feel for the handling, but it doesn’t take long to master.
Align Media
Take the handling, for instance. Even though you’re straddling a saddle and gripping a handlebar like a motorcycle, there’s no leaning to be done in the corners. The machine naturally “rolls” toward the outside of a turn, which means you get a feel for traction based on what the outside front tire is doing.
Then there’s the shifting. Can-Am specs a semi-automatic six-speed transmission on the Canyon, which means while there’s no clutch to work between gears, the transmission won’t shift until you tell it to by using the paddles on the left handlebar. That means you can hold a gear and rev your way around a corner for a sportier experience, or sit back and go full-cruiser a gear or two high.
Everything feels foreign, but I’ll give credit where credit is due: The Canyon is probably the easiest vehicle I’ve ever learned to ride on the fly. Within an hour of climbing aboard, I felt like I had more or less mastered everything I needed to know about it, which bodes well for owners of any background who want something fun, versatile, and unintimidating.
And I really can’t put enough emphasis on the unintimidating part. Between the Canyon’s modest 115 horsepower three-cylinder engine and 1,100-pound curb weight, the acceleration is sporty, but it never comes anywhere close to scary.
KYB SmartShox are only available on the Redrock trim, but they’re worth every penny.
Align Media
The same goes for the electronic KYB suspension on the Canyon Redrock; it’s firm enough to deliver a fairly sporty ride, but where it really shines is how well it smoothes out bumps, potholes, and rough pavement in town and abroad.
This isn’t some face-melting, high-performance vehicle: It’s a comfortable, well-appointed touring machine that’s loaded down with creature comforts like heated seats, Apple Carplay, cruise control, a reverse gear (with a backup camera), and more modular storage that you could ever dream of piling onto a typical two-wheeled ADV.
Maintained dirt roads are the Canyon’s preferred environment.
Align Media
The folks at Can-Am will be the first to tell you that the Canyon is not an off-road vehicle. Yes, it’s a gravel road vehicle, a dirt road vehicle, and a fire road vehicle, but an off-road vehicle it is not.
The distinction they’re making here is that the Canyon simply isn’t intended to do the sort of technical off-roading you might do on an adventure bike, a dual sport, or even a well-built 4x4. Rutted two-track, rocky climbs, and creek crossings aren’t the Canyon’s forte, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a good time when the pavement ends.
The off-road section of my test route was a mix of sandy backroads, gravel, and maintained dirt doubletrack, all of which are ideal testbeds for the Canyon. It’s a road-going vehicle, but thanks to the all-terrain tires, plush suspension, and decent ground clearance, those roads need not be paved.
The Canyon isn’t built for technical terrain, but it’ll still take you to some incredible places.
Align Media
I’d sum up the Canyon off-road experience as good, simple fun. Where the three-cylinder Rotax engine feels reasonable and restrained on the street, it’s more than enough to get your blood pumping in the dirt.
What makes the experience particularly enjoyable is the Canyon’s selectable “Rally” mode, which tones down the traction and stability control, allowing the rear wheel to slip and spin to an extent. That means you can easily “drift” the Canyon out of corners with a quick twist of throttle, a feat which takes untold hours of practice on a motorcycle.
Again, mastery is easy here because the electronics reliably intervene before you can get yourself in trouble. After a bit of spinning and grinning, you hit a “brick wall” of traction control, which cuts power and pulls the brakes until the vehicle returns to peak stability.
Of course, getting fast and loose isn’t the Canyon’s core mission: This is a vehicle for exploration more than anything. To that end, I’ll also say that the Canyon Redrock’s electronic KYB SmartShox are an impressive piece of kit.
When the going gets muddy, you’ll be particularly thankful for that third wheel.
Align Media
The system works by automatically adjusting both compression and rebound damping in the shocks multiple times per second, ensuring you get the plushest ride possible out of its 10.2 inches of suspension travel. The system is incredibly effective; sandy washboards that would normally set your teeth rattling feel no different than perfectly groomed trails, and the same goes for riding on gravel.
That makes it an ideal candidate for the sort of low-intensity dirt road touring you’d normally need four wheels to experience. With effectively zero risk of dropping the bike due to balance or loss of traction, you’re free to sit back and enjoy the journey at whatever speed you’re comfortable with.
Traction and stability control are mandatory for a three-wheeler, but they could use a little work.
Align Media
Truth be told, if you’re in no hurry, I think you’d have a hard time finding fault with the Canyon. Compared to a traditional motorcycle, the ride is much less thrilling and dynamic, but if you’re shopping for a three-wheeler in the first place, that’ll likely come across as a feature in itself.
I think my single largest complaint with the Canyon comes from the traction and stability control systems. While they are incredibly effective at keeping the vehicle as safe as possible, at times they feel intrusive to a fault.
When you’re in the mood to get a little squirrely in the dirt or a little fast in the curves, you’ll quickly feel the system reigning you in, typically via a hard braking sensation on the outside tire. Once you get an idea of where the limits are, you can intentionally ride within them, but it’s always a bit of a bummer when the electronic “nanny” kicks in, telling you to slow down or pay the consequences.
Another place I wouldn’t mind seeing an improvement is the overall performance of the engine. Granted, the Canyon isn’t supposed to be a straight line missile by any stretch, but considering the base model starts at over $25,000, an extra 20 horsepower or so would go a long way, especially considering you can always rein it in yourself using the Canyon’s selectable driving modes.
Can-Am offers a million different accessories for the Canyon, but onboard audio isn’t currently one of them.
Align Media
My final complaint is that, unlike Can-Am’s other popular three-wheeled vehicles, there’s currently no option to outfit the Canyon with any sort of sound system. Personally, I couldn't care less, as I prefer running audio through a helmet com like the Cardo Packtalk, but I know Can-Am owners traditionally like to customize and upgrade their machines, and external audio is a major component of the culture.
Closing Thoughts on the Can-Am Canyon Three Wheeler
Overall, she’s an unintimidating way to get out get a feel for the easy-going side of adventure riding.

While the Canyon is genuinely unlike anything else I’ve ever ridden or driven, ultimately, I found the same rule applies here as any three-wheeled vehicle: If you come to the party expecting a motorcycle, you’re going to leave disappointed.
That being said, the Canyon isn’t trying to be a motorcycle, a car, a UTV—or anything else for that matter. It’s entirely unique, and as such, it delivers an entirely unique take on the adventure riding experience.
The core tenets are all there: It’s comfortable for long distances, it’ll haul enough gear for two to travel, and it’s a willing companion should you choose to push on when the pavement ends. It doesn’t wheelie, it doesn’t lean, and it isn’t built to tackle gnarly terrain, but it’ll take you pretty much anywhere a Subaru will, and it’ll let you do it with the wind in your hair.
The $25,299 starting price will be a tough pill to swallow for some, and if you want to experience the sublime KYB SmartShox suspension, you’ll have to pony up a whopping $32,299 for the Redrock trim level I tested. Still, three-wheeling is its own kind of adventure, and if you want to experience it for yourself, the Canyon Redrock is hands-down the best way to do it.
Tesla has never played it safe, but Elon Musk’s latest move could be his boldest—and riskiest—yet.
The company that once revolutionized electric vehicles with laptop batteries is now pivoting hard into full autonomy and AI-powered transportation, and the outcome is far from guaranteed.
According to a new report from The Wall Street Journal, Tesla has shifted its focus from refining proven technology to chasing unproven, futuristic ideas, namely fully self-driving cars. It’s a sharp departure from the company’s original success formula.
Tesla rose to prominence by rethinking how to use existing lithium-ion batteries in cars, beating out slower-moving competitors. Now it's entering a space where the technology is still in development and, in some ways, not fully functional.
Musk envisions a fleet of fully autonomous robotaxis dominating roads by 2026, according to The Cool Down.
Tesla's current Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature is a long way from that goal. It's been linked to federal investigations, public safety concerns, and disturbing footage of system failures, including test dummies being repeatedly struck during trials in Texas.
Critics describe FSD's current form as a "glorified cruise control," which is a far cry from the no-hands, no-hassle vision Musk continues to promote. Still, the CEO is charging forward, aiming to retrain Tesla’s AI and expand into ride-hailing services, potentially cutting out human drivers while maximizing company profits.
If the gamble pays off, Tesla could redefine mobility once again. Autonomous vehicles could make transportation safer, cheaper, and more accessible.
However, if the tech falls short—either on safety, scalability, or regulatory acceptance—Tesla’s valuation could suffer a major blow. The company’s stock has already seen sharp swings in 2025, and another misstep could mean big issues.
There are also broader implications. Musk's robotaxi model raises ethical and economic concerns, especially for gig workers who depend on driving for income. Replacing them with AI fleets may boost efficiency, but it could deepen tensions over automation's role in the economy.
Tesla isn't pulling back—its rollout is already in motion. But whether this shift cements the company's future or exposes its limits will depend on more than Musk's confidence. For a brand built on calculated disruption, this might be the most unpredictable bet yet.
In a discovery that could reshape how we view and understand the human brain, researchers have successfully passed a laser beam through an entire human head. While it may sound like science fiction, this quiet milestone could pave the way for faster, cheaper, and noninvasive brain scans.
This technology already offers a portable, low-cost way to monitor brain activity, but until now, it’s only been able to peek a few centimeters beneath the skull. For anything deeper, expensive MRI machines have been the standard.
That may be about to change. By boosting the power of the laser (within safe limits) and improving the light-collection setup, scientists managed to transmit photons from one side of the skull to the other.
It worked on just one out of eight participants—a bald man with fair skin—but it proved something previously thought impossible: a beam of light can travel through the entire human head.
The implications are huge. If refined, this technology could close the gap between inexpensive tools like EEG and high-resolution, high-cost MRI scans. In the future, diagnosing strokes, brain injuries, or tumors might not require hospital-grade equipment—just a small, light-based scanner.
What made this breakthrough even more compelling was the way the light traveled. Instead of bouncing randomly through the skull, photons followed predictable paths, especially through more transparent areas like cerebrospinal fluid. That opens the door to more targeted imaging, where specific brain regions could be scanned with precision.
To validate the experiment, researchers used 3D head models to predict photon movement and then compared the results to actual light data. The results aligned, adding credibility to what may one day be a revolutionary shift in brain imaging.
It’s early days. Scanning took 30 minutes, and the conditions were highly specific. But it's a proof of concept with massive potential.
For now, it's just one beam of light. In the future, it could be the foundation of a global leap in how doctors see the brain.
It's a given that Costco has become a very popular big-box membership warehouse club, offering discounts on brand-name merchandise in bulk and non-bulk sizes. Costco opened 1976 under the Price Club name, and in 1983, the first Costco warehouse location opened in Seattle. The concept took off, and Costco became the first company to grow from zero to $3 billion in sales in under six years.
Today, Costco is actually the third-largest retailer in the world, only behind Walmart and Amazon, and is a Fortune 500 company. "With hundreds of locations worldwide, Costco provides a wide selection of merchandise, plus the convenience of specialty departments and exclusive member services, all designed to make your shopping experience a pleasurable one," the company says.
So, with all of the many items at Costco, how do you go about knowing what's the best thing to buy? Now, a veteran employee is giving the scoop to Southern Living and dishing on the best Costco items to snag.
"Watch the items in the sale flyer to get the biggest bang for your buck," the employee told Southern Living in a June 13 feature. "Especially for items you would already normally buy."
The employee pinpointed nine specific items that are especially worth getting: rotisserie chicken; chicken noodle soup; half-and-half; Kirkland grass-fed butter; Fairlife protein drinks; Kirkland travel pants; pre-made deli items; wine, beer and spirits; and a case of Kirkland bottled water.
The employee especially raved about the rotisserie chicken, stating, "You can't beat it for $4.99," the Costco employee stated. "It's always fresh and so versatile and an extremely economical meal for a family. If you wanted, you could even boil or roast the bones for broth."
Also for a tip on the chicken noodle soup, the employee said that "it's seasonal, so it isn't usually available in the summer," but you can repackage it "into smaller containers and frozen for later use."
Some other items you might not realize you can buy at Costco are gold, music (think vinyl) and jewelry. Who would have known?
North Dakota was struck with severe thunderstorms and tornadoes on Friday, leaving at least three people dead.
According to the Cass County Sheriff's Office, three people were found dead in rural Enderlin by storm chasers and the fire department Friday night.
During a news conference on Saturday, Sheriff Jesse Jahner revealed the deceased were two men and one woman.
First responders checked on other residents in the area, which is about 175 miles from Bismarck. The Enderlin Sheldon Fire Department and sheriff's deputies "found extensive damage to the area."
We got an idea just how massive one of the tornadoes were thanks to video from storm chaser Reed Timmer, who posted a clip on X.

Another storm chaser, Aaron Rigsby, provided some photos that are equally terrifying.
Wow what a day. I'm out of gas at a gas station waiting for power to come on and finally getting caught up on video. Here are 4 of the intense tornadoes I documented across North Dakota today not including the smaller ones in between. The after dark tornadoes were exceptionally… pic.twitter.com/S0ZXbUKtnG
Minnesota also saw severe weather and wind gusts in impacted areas there and in North Dakota reached 100-plus mph, according to FOX Weather's Scott Sistek.
A 111 mph wind gust was recorded by a private weather station near Luverne, North Dakota, and a gust of 106 mph was clocked around Bemidji Regional Airport.
Officials have told residents in the most impacted areas to expect "long-term power outages" because of extensive damage to infrastructure.
A former Ohio State All-American offensive lineman and NFL Draft pick has been charged with aggravated vehicular homicide following a crash in Dublin, Ohio early Saturday morning.
Kirk Barton, 40, is accused of driving a Ford F150 Raptor pickup truck “at a high rate of speed” on U.S. 33 before entering Historic Dublin at around 3 a.m., according to NBC4i.com. Barton then collided with a Lexus on West Bridge Street, just west of Franklin Street.
The driver of the Lexus, 24-year-old Ethan Perry, was pronounced dead at the scene. Barton, meanwhile, suffered non-life threatening injuries and was taken to Riverside Methodist Hospital and later released into police custody.
The Lewis Center, Ohio resident was taken to Franklin County Jail, where he was booked on a charge of aggravated vehicular homicide as the result of driving under the influence, a second-degree felony.
Barton, who is also owner of the website BuckeyeScoop.com, is due in court for arraignment Monday morning at 9 a.m.

A native of Naples, Florida native, Barton was a member of the Ohio State football program from 2003-07 and started at right tackle for four seasons.
As a fifth-year senior in 2007, Barton served as a team captain and was named first-team All-Big Ten and All-American. He went on to be drafted in the seventh round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears and played in one game for the team as a rookie.
Barton bounced around various other NFL teams and practice squads until his playing career ended following the 2010 season. In recent years, he has been no stranger to controversy, and even had a run-in with the law in 2018.
However, this latest situation is the most serious problem Barton has faced, by far.

If you’re looking for great khaki pants or just something that'll make your butt look good, you should see what’s available in Duer’s summer sale. Hailing from Canada, Duer set out on a mission to create the best-fitting, most versatile, and sensationally comfortable pants ever. The brand actually did it—our editors have tried them and say they're awesome—and right now, you can score a pair of the ultra-breathable, summer-friendly No Sweat pants at a very rare discount.
The Duer No Sweat Pants are now just $89 in select colors, down over 30% from their usual price of $129. They’re available broadly from sizes 28 to 38, with 30- and 32-inch inseams, but we're confident they'll begin to sell out very soon. This pair in the Slim fit is extremely popular, having received around 5,100 five-star ratings, and 96% of shoppers would recommend the pants to others. While we think the Slim will be the best fit for most guys, this same deal is going on with the Relaxed Taper fit and the Straight fit, too.
The secret to Duer’s No Sweat style is in the fabric and design. These pants are engineered with lyocell, a plant-based material that inhibits bacterial growth and is naturally moisture-wicking while retaining a soft feel. Thick, triple-stitched seams both look interesting and hold the material together well while helping accommodate the pants’ high stretch. Sewn between the front and back pieces is the brand's signature gusset, an extra (but hidden) wedge of fabric that extends the seat crotch area to provide extra breathing room and full movement for active wearers.
One shopper, who liked the pants for their “great fit and even better comfort,” discussed their incredible versatility. “Love them…wore to work as a business casual and out to dinner with friends. A pant for many occasions, for sure!”
Another shopper called this pair the “most comfortable pants in the universe” and added, “These tapered No Sweat Pants are so comfortable I don’t even want to take them off.”
These Duer pants are rarely on sale, and when they are, sizing is very limited. So getting a pair for just $89 as part of the brand's summer sale is absolutely worth doing. We're confident sizes won't last long, so grab yours ASAP.
