MALFOID RECAP
Malfoid is the name for this Harry Potter fanfic phenomenon that’s taken over the internet, or at least a big chunk of the trad Potterverse. A meme of a female reimagining of Draco Malfoy as Draconia Malfoy.
It’s been 2 months, and this meme hasn’t stopped. It’s gained traction and inspired fanfic stories. And it’s spawned manga/cartoons, anime, and AI actor shorts. Some I’ve shared with you already.

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
Dating Sim
Dating Simulations or Dating Sims are a subgenre of adventure video games that originated in Japan in the 1980’s. Dating Sims evolved from text-based adventure games like Zork and choose-your-own adventure books.
The first commercially available Dating Sim game was Nakayama Miho no Tokimeki High School (1987) released for the Nintendo Famicom Disk system where the player tries to wooo a J-Pop Idol.
Dating Sims blew up in the 90’s PC era with multiple-choice dating sims for both male and female protagonists. It’s influenced aspects of American RPG games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
A proper cast-iron front rifle rest usually starts around $150 and climbs into the high hundreds once the Bench Rest crowd gets involved. So when ATFLBox offered a cast-iron shooting rest with micro-adjustable feet and spikes, plus two sandbags, for under $70, it smelled faintly of “too good to be true.” Sometimes the universe just hands you a free win.
The rest itself looks like it escaped from a Christmas tree stand. The edges have that classic cast-iron roughness—texture you can feel with your eyes closed—but the whole thing still feels solid enough. In the box you get a horn-style rear sandbag and a front bag, both already stuffed with fine gravel.
At the range it behaved exactly like something that costs three times as much. Rock solid. I even loaned it to a first-time shooter. The rest kept my rifle steady enough that every one of her shots stayed on paper at 100 yards.
Here’s the thing nobody wants to admit: the engineering behind these rests isn’t exactly rocket science. So it shouldn’t shock anyone that a company without Caldwell’s brand name or marketing budget can still ship something cheap that actually works.
The PL X marks a leap in OLights’ rechargeable pistol lights. The PL X has a similar 1200 lumen light output as my OLight Valkrie PL-2, while physically 1/3 shorter. On the left side of the body is a physical switch to change from a wide flood beam or a spot beam with a maximum throw of 300 yards.
The PL X has contoured buttons that allow you to push forward or push downward to activate the beam. The PL X has OLight’s familiar controls able to switch between low-high brightness modes with a double-tap, and strobe by pressing both buttons simultaneously.
Thankfully, this OLight now recharges with a universal standard USB-C port. Remarkably, the unit is IPX 7 rated and able to be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes. I don’t claim that any OLIGHT is as durable or as reliable as military-tested weaponlights, but OLIGHT offers a lifetime warranty with good customer service.
Max Lumens: 1200 (Flood mode) Max Run Time: 120 min Maximum Throw: 300 yards (Spot mode) Battery type: 960 mAh Charging type: USB-C Dimensions: 63 x 30 x 31.5 mm (2.48 in x 1.18 in x 1.24 in) Weight w/battery: 3.07 oz / 87 g Track compatibility: Glock, 1913 IPX: 7 waterproof

Based in Virginia, it is started by Michael Jensen who worked with Zeiss, Swarovski, Remington and Marlin.

BRAND QUIZ DRAWING
Winner gets an extra bonus enty in the November Contest. Check it out at
I’ve ridden the TGV between Laussane and Paris. I rode the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto. I love high-speed rail.
In 2008, California voters approved a $33–45 billion bullet train from San Francisco to Los Angeles by 2020. Fast-forward eighteen years: Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom and other politicians have done Photo Opps with laying fake train tracks and standing in front of banners claiming progress.
The only thing traveling at high speed is the cost estimate—now a cool $126–231 billion. Actual track laid that can carry a paying passenger? Zero. Not one mile. Not one foot.
Keep that in mind as you head to the voting booth this November. Whether you want to believe you’re “fighting the Trump Agenda” or making America Great Again, if you vote for more spending and vote for incumbent politicians in California, you’re voting for more red tape and wasted money. Good luck.
They call it The Works. The name is not subtle, and neither are its contents. Most folks have a range bag and a tool kit. But almost nobody has a tool kit inside their range bag, so Fix It Sticks changed that.
Fix It Sticks started in the cycling world and somehow ended up in the hands of people who shoot for a living. That pedigree shows. The tools are small, the case is smaller, and the coverage is wider than the bulk of what most of us currently drag around. It will not replace a full gunsmith bench, but it will make the average range-day malfunction or optic tweak far less of a scavenger hunt.
The Works pouch is about the size of a budget first aid kit. Inside this unassuming black pouch is a T-handle, a full set of 24 electroless-nickel bits (hex, Torx, Phillips, slotted—the usual suspects that actually appear on firearms), AR-specific bits including a castle-nut wrench and BCG scraper, a 1911 bushing tool, a Glock front-sight tool, a universal choke-tube wrench that covers most shotgun tubes from .410 to 10-gauge, pin punches (metal and plastic), scrapers, a mini pry bar, brass cleaning rods, and a magnetic patch that keeps the tiny screws from disappearing.
The practical result is that this one kit covers ARs, pistols, shotguns, optics, and most of the accessories you actually touch at the range or in the field. No more digging through three different pouches while everyone else is already shooting.
The Works is not a budget toolkit at over $200. But ff your current toolkit is mostly dead weight and good intentions at the range, The Works is the right Tool (kit) for the right job.
