My Dead Friend Zoe opens with the familiar image of a soldier returning home, but the weight that follows is anything but typical. Directed by Army veteran and filmmaker Kyle Hausmann-Stokes, the film traces the uneasy civilian life of Merit, an Afghanistan war vet haunted by the ghost of her best friend and fellow soldier, Zoe. What could’ve been a flat metaphor is instead a fully embodied character — Zoe isn’t a hallucination. She’s funny, she’s maddening and she’s always there. Just like grief. Just like guilt. In his feature debut, Hausmann-Stokes doesn’t try to romanticize the cost of war.…

Though generally thought of as a rifle manufacturer, you could better describe Gunwerks as a full-service, long-range shooting syndicate.…

When you carry a phone with you, you are carrying around a microphone, a camera, a location tracking device, and a social media hub all rolled into one.

In a crisis, refrigeration becomes a luxury. What about your fresh meat? It’ll rot fast. Without a reliable way to preserve food, you’re one power outage away from losing the most reliable source of protein. Most people have no clue how to make food last when the grid fails. That ignorance could cost you more than just a meal. Still, there’s a way to fight back. Smoking meat isn’t just for flavor, but also an ancient survival tactic. It helps slow bacterial growth and extends the life of your meat when there’s no electricity, no freezer, and no second chances.…
The head of the U.S. Space Force is moving ahead with plans to pull talent from Air National Guard units to help build up the still new military service — but several governors remain opposed and argue it tramples on their rights to retain control over their state units.
