Despite a seemingly quiet start to 2026 (at least, compared to what’s coming in September and October), this year has actually been a huge success for the gaming industry. There have been very few misses and a ton of hits, from indie successes to triple-A bangers, and the year isn’t even halfway done yet. Much of that success has come in the open-world genre. Some games that weren’t even expected to be fully open-world have stepped in and delivered some of the best entries the genre has seen in a while. Therefore, even though we’ve still got seven months’ worth…

While I’m a Second Amendment absolutist, I don’t like it when people try to export guns illegally. That’s largely because I don’t want the supply of firearms to be diminished for gun-buying Americans. Plus, the export laws deal with national security more than gun control, so that’s a different kettle of fish from pretty much everything else the feds do regarding firearms. So when someone gets caught trying to traffic guns out of the country, I tend to celebrate it.That’s especially true when the individual caught seems to be trying to arm the kind of…

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The Philippines has protested China’s deployment of what Manila describes as a floating “structure” with personnel on a disputed shoal in the South China Sea, fearing it could be a part of Beijing’s effort to turn the uninhabited atoll into an island base, Philippine officials said Tuesday. The Department of Foreign Affairs said, without elaborating, that it lodged a protest over China’s latest action on the Scarborough Shoal, which was spotted by the Philippine military and coast guard. China dismissed Manila’s concern and reiterated that it has “indisputable sovereignty” over the shoal and adjacent waters, without…

Work Sharp Knives is on fire right now. I had just finished editing my review of their RMX Thumbstud when FedEx dropped off the brand’s latest offering, the Madrone. For a company that spent the last half of 2025 restocking and selling out of its debut RMX knife line, it’s obvious that Work Sharp understands that if you want to make a name for yourself in the knife industry, you need to make a good product and keep at it. That means staying relevant and releasing products that have impact. In a saturated market, you need to find your niche.…

Massachusetts gun laws are so screwy even prosecutors can’t always figure out what they say and mean, which begs the question about how gun owners are supposed to know if they’re in compliance or not.  A few months ago a young man named Samuel Lacus was told he had to surrender his firearms and ammunition to local police after he was served with an abuse prevention order… one that was quickly dropped by the petitioner. Despite that, police entered Lacus’s home and seized multiple firearms before charging him with five counts of possession of illegal…

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Nordic and Baltic leaders who were in Estonia for a regional summit Tuesday, a visit that comes amid friction over Ukrainian drones straying into the region in recent months. The drones have crashed into the chimney of a power plant in Estonia, hit empty fuel tanks in Latvia and been shot down by Romanian fighter jets stationed in Lithuania. Ukrainian officials apologized, saying the drones had been aimed at military targets in Russia but were sent off course by Russian electronic interference. Estonia hosted the summit in its capital of…

This article was originally published by Edison Reed at Natural News.  An international team of researchers reported finding microplastic particles in human brain tissue at concentrations seven to thirty times higher than in the liver or kidneys, according to a Perspective published May 5, 2026, in the journal Brain Health. Researchers from the University of New Mexico, the University of Ottawa, Technische Universität Dresden, and King’s College London analyzed tissue samples from donors between 2016 and 2024 and observed a 50% increase in plastic burden over that period, with the highest levels found in donors diagnosed with dementia. The findings prompted…

Driving over twisting highways, undulating backroads, and off-road terrain can tire out a driver and passengers when the vehicle is constantly tossing from side to side with every turn of the steering wheel. A sway bar can address the issue on vehicles with a high center of gravity, such as pickups with slide-in campers, camper vans, and motorhomes. While shocks help control the vertical movement of springs, sway bars help reduce the side-to-side pitching or rocking motion during cornering, driving over uneven terrain, or encountering off-camber road irregularities, all of which are common for those who use their vehicles for…

The first bit of advice any new gun owner is likely to receive is that they should go out and seek training on how to handle their firearm safely. It’s not about tactical excellence or anything like that; it’s about making sure they don’t hurt themselves or someone else because they didn’t know what they were doing with the weapon in their hands. That’s avoidable, and we absolutely should continue to tell people to get proper training. But, as with most things involving firearms, there’s a difference between good advice and the government deciding to…
