Detroit-based workwear label Carhartt is once again getting into the pickup truck game, but in what could be the ultimate cross-branding betrayal, it has abandoned all ties with its former corporate partner in favor of its greatest rival. That’s right, the Carhartt name that was once featured on the flanks of the 2021–2023 Chevrolet Silverado HD is now going to appear on the 2027 Ford F-Series Super Duty. Debuting on an F-350 crew cab long bed, the Carhartt package includes a few special exterior cues, an overall-inspired cabin, and some additional protection and capability features. Subtlety Is The Name Of…
Sir David Attenborough turned 100 on Friday, May 8, and the birthday tributes came from just about everywhere. Broadcasters, museums, conservation groups, and fans around the world marked the milestone for a man whose career has helped define modern wildlife storytelling. LEGO found a more specific way to join in. Some LEGO Classic sets list an age range of 4–99, including the Large Creative Brick Box. That meant Attenborough, at least technically, has just aged out of the range printed on the box. LEGO marked the occasion with a social post showing the age range updated to 4–100+. The post…
I get that states like New York, and governors like Kathy Hochul aren’t fans of gun ownership in general, but especially when they don’t get to have some kind of control over who gets a gun and who doesn’t. They want to be able to peer into the industry and know everything, which is why anything that removes a gun from that paper trail is a bad thing. For them, 3D printers spell doom, which is why Hochul opted to go after them. But the truth of the matter is that the internet is a…
ROME (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged European allies Friday to move beyond rhetoric and take concrete action against Iran, even as he sought to repair strained ties with Italy and the Vatican during a two-day visit following tensions over the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran. Speaking after meetings with Premier Giorgia Meloni and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, Rubio warned that Tehran was attempting to assert control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, calling the move “unacceptable” and a threat to global security. “Everybody says Iran is a threat. Everybody says that Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon…
Health authorities across several countries are racing to trace an outbreak of the hantavirus. The overall goal is “containment”, after the World Health Organization (WHO) said Thursday that five confirmed infections had been identified among people connected to the cruise ship MV Hondius. Hantavirus Outbreak Kills 3 On A Cruise Ship According to a report by CNN, three people, a Dutch couple and a German national, have died since the vessel departed Argentina last month. The first suspected case was a 70-year-old Dutchman, who suddenly fell ill on the ship with a fever, headache, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, South Africa’s…
As U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, U.S. lawmakers are drafting legislation to deter the Chinese Communist Party and other foreign adversaries from acquiring American real estate and invading the domestic automobile industry. Trump and Xi are slated to meet May 14-15 in talks that originally were intended to focus on tariffs and rare earth minerals, but have now expanded to envelope the global fallout of the war in Iran and China’s role in potential diplomatic relations. On Thursday, Trump told reporters “It’s going to be, I think, quite amazing. He’s been a…

Teens often hear many stories about the type of people who join the military and special operations programs. While you do need toughness, the ability to work with others, and an above-average level of fitness, all kinds of people make it through these difficult training programs. From athletes to nonathletes, band members, skateboarders/surfers, farmers and others, these people who are successful simply want it enough to endure the pain, failure and discomfort. Here is a question from a young man who has heard a few common myths about the type of people who join these units: Stew, I did not…
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea said Friday it will deploy new long-range artillery systems this year that are capable of striking South Korea’s capital region and will commission its first naval destroyer in coming weeks. The announcement comes days after South Korea said North Korea’s newly revised constitution drops all references to Korean unification, in line with leader Kim Jong Un’s vows to terminate ties with South Korea and establish a two-state system on the Korean Peninsula. Kim visited a munitions factory Wednesday to inspect the production of 155-mm self-propelled gun-howitzers to be deployed at an artillery unit…

Scott Kelly, the Army veteran whose life changed after an unexpected viral moment last November, is developing a new podcast series focused on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and veterans. Kelly never expected to be thrust into the limelight, but that all changed when Brandon Bieron, a fellow veteran he served with, was checking out Kelly’s resume on his phone in the middle of a Jonas Brothers concert. Jen Wilson, seated behind Bieron, filmed him on her phone and posted it to TikTok with the caption, “Scott Kelly, your resume was being reviewed at a Jonas Brothers concert tonight. Good luck.”…

Microstamping promises a neat crime-solving shortcut: fired brass that points police back to a specific gun. But once you look at the technology, the failures, the costs, and California’s history, this “simple fix” starts looking a lot more complicated. Microstamping is a technology that supposedly makes tracing brass at a crime scene easier by imprinting a set of characters that can be traced back to the individual gun. It’s become something of an anathema to the Second Amendment crowd. Do we know what it is, and do we know if it even works? Or is it just another way for…
The Institute for Primary Facts just opened the Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room, a library putting on public display more than 3.5 million pages of the Epstein files. Inside the New York installation, the Epstein files are no longer just another batch of documents floating through search results, social media posts, congressional hearings and half-remembered headlines. They are printed, bound and shelved. The archive takes up physical space, which is exactly the point. The reading room, located in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood, compiles the Epstein-related records released by the Department of Justice into thousands of…
