Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadDisaster strikes. The grid goes dark. Infrastructure stops. Your kid goes from eating waffles on the couch to hauling buckets of water up the stairs. Your spouse is trying to cook dinner on a camp stove while rationing batteries. And you’re looking around, trying to figure out how to keep everyone moving forward when the world just hit the pause button. That’s the kind of shift families face in any serious disaster — whether it’s a hurricane grinding the coast or a blackout with no end in sight. And it doesn’t just test your…
As if to say to the United States that it has no control over Israel whatsoever, West Jerusalem is continuing to pound Lebanon. The strikes come in spite of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not signed the MoU. This begs the question: Should Israel be tied to whatever the US does? Or is it its own sovereign state? It seems to be proving the latter as Trump signs what amounted to a surrender deal with Iran, and the American public is sold a victory they…
The automobile has been in development for over 140 years to get to where we are. On a global scale, we suspect a graph of development would show a gradual curve upward, even through the 1970s when things got a little rocky for the automotive industry. The reason we believe the 1980s became the most important decade for cars is because just about every technology that could be applied to a car took a big step forward in this period. At the same time, many automakers were doing well enough financially that they could spend money on research and development,…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadTalking about civil war preparedness isn’t something I enjoy. However, with tensions as high as they are—and nearly half the country believing it’s likely—it’s something we need to consider. A 2024 Marist poll found that 47% of Americans believe a second civil war could happen in their lifetime. When you consider the political anger, the cultural divide, and the daily signs of growing hostility, it’s not hard to see why. Add to that the foreign governments and domestic agitators who benefit from keeping us angry and divided. Then factor in how fast information—true or…
Native American veterans who want to buy, build, or improve a home on federal trust land have access to a unique benefit: the Native American Direct Loan (NADL) program. It offers eligible military families a path to homeownership that’s specifically designed for buying homes on tribal land, where traditional mortgage financing has historically been out of reach. Since Congress established the program in 1992 under Public Law 102-547, the VA has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with 118 tribal governments, and the program continues to expand. In February 2026, the VA signed an MOU with the Squaxin Island Tribe in…

Under Hawaii’s “sensitive places” law, all government buildings are “gun-free zones,” at least in theory. Like most supposedly sensitive places, though, many of those locations feature no special security measures; no magnetometers, no armed guards, and no secured entrances. They’re sensitive in name only, and their “gun-free” status essentially depends on an honor code. The inability of these Sensitive In Name Only locations to keep people safe and secure was on full display recently in Maui, where a man stands accused of brandishing a pistol at county employees in a planning office in Wailuku a…
Forced to dig his own grave in Iraq, Fabrizio Quattrocchi answered his killers with one final act of raw defiance. This is a hard look at death, faith, courage, and the Italian who refused to die quietly. Death, Faith, and the Question Fabrizio Quattrocchi Forces Us to Face Today, we are going to talk about some pretty dark stuff. Death rightfully makes people uncomfortable. It is the innately unknowable nature of the thing that leaves folks so predictably discomfited. We all have theories. However, by definition, if somebody is talking about it, they’ve not yet actually given it a whirl…

With roughly half the year done, 2026’s legacy is already defined by a slew of brilliant games that will keep most people busy for a long time. From horror to dense RPGs and cozy sims, every genre received a new representative. However, even when compared to other popular categories, 2026 action-adventure games have been especially incredible, ambitious, and celebrated. Seriously, it seems like the genre cannot help but bottom out at “pretty good,” at least if we focus on relatively big names and ignore the slew of forgettable titles that launch on Steam. If the most anticipated 2026 action-adventure games…
