U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the triumphal arch he plans to build near Arlington National Cemetery in Washington would double as a “military complex” housing drones and snipers, as well as storing large quantities of ammunition.The president cited national security concerns for the move, echoing the rationale offered for the roughly $400 million ballroom complex being built on the site of the White House’s former East Wing, which was demolished to make way for the project. He did not identify any specific threats.The projects are part of Trump’s ambitious effort to reshape Washington, including a push to…

The Marine Corps laid out its fiscal 2027 enlistment bonuses in MARADMIN 405/26, signed Sept. 2. The incentives take effect Oct. 1 and run through Sept. 30, 2027. For anyone considering a Marine contract this year, the useful part of the message is narrower than the headline. The Corps is paying $15,000 to new active-duty recruits who sign into two job families: electronics maintenance and cyber/crypto operations. That matches the top figure in last year’s FY26 enlistment package. The money is not sitting on every contract; specifically, it is aimed at those technical lanes. What the $15,000 Covers Electronics maintenance…

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – SEPTEMBER 19: Gable Steveson reacts after a knockout defeat against Sean Sharaf in a heavyweight fight during the UFC 331 event at Crypto.com Arena on September 19, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) We may have just witnessed the greatest bit of schadenfreude in UFC history when Sean Sharaf instantly knocked out Gable Steveson (watch that here). It was YUUUUUUUUUGE. Steveson has not ingratiated himself to UFC’s fanbase, which seems a little odd at first glance. The Heavyweight division desperately needs interesting new blood … and Steveson certainly qualifies. An Olympic gold…

Arman Tsarukyan re-cemented his position as the rightful No. 1 contender at lightweight with a crushing first round knockout of Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 331. A lot of people saw “Batman” beating Ruffy, but not the way he did it: with two massive elbows that sent his Brazilian opponent crashing to the canvas unconscious (highlights here).“They don’t know my skills,” Arman declared. “So in training, I do some crazy things that no nobody’s even seem in this room yet. But, if I’m gonna keep fighting often, you’re gonna see a lot of different tricks that I can do. And yeah,…

 Which is right?! In written English you might have noticed with “せんぱい” the Japanese hiragana character “ん” sometimes  gets written as “n,”  like in “senpai,” while other times it is written as “m,” like in “sempai.” As a reminder,  Senpai (せんぱい – or kanji 先輩) – [sem pi] is someone who is of a higher social standing, such as an upperclassman or upperclasswoman, someone of a higher age, or senior in rank. Sem or 先 means early, in advance, first, or prior. Hai, 輩 means fellow, person, colleague, or people. The English spelling of Japanese words is approximations and “Senpai” is…

Amazon and Walmart’s e-commerce dominance have fueled rising expectations around the delivery experience for all brands, according to Chewy COO Scott Anderson. Both companies “have done a great job conditioning the world to the convenience of e-commerce,” Anderson told Supply Chain Dive in an interview. But that convenience has led consumers to start clamoring for the next wave of shipping features, from adjustable delivery windows to boxless returns. Much of Anderson’s career has focused on executing an effective operational strategy as customer…

I don’t want to oversell it, but this Saturday’s recap, packed with new RPGs, strategy games, and everything turn-based, is absolutely stacked. Of course, you’ve probably already figured out from the cover which game is stealing the spotlight, but it’s definitely in great company. In these recaps, I also like to share how I plan to spend the few free hours I have over the weekend, or, more specifically, which game I’ll be investing my time in. This morning, once I’m done with this recap, I’m finally going to sit down with the demo of Final Fantasy Resonance, which I…

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md.—As Air Force leaders prepare to hand AI more decision-making power in the years ahead, they’re also working to get airmen comfortable with that.  “A little bit scary, but we need to lean into it,” Air Force Secretary Troy Meink said at the Air and Space Association’s Air, Space & Cyber conference this week. “Autonomy is one of, if not the key technology enabling cost-effective combat power.”Although Meink didn’t say so explicitly, “leaning in” will require new thinking on building trust between human airmen and the AI assistants, chatbots, and autonomous drones that will surround them. But other parts…
