The last five episodes of Season 6 of Cobra Kai were released on Netflix on February 13, 2025. Six seasons and sixty-five episodes. For a man who was essentially the antagonist in a pair of skeleton Halloween tights in 1984, seven years of karate competitions, dojo rivalries, father-son heartbreak, and an unexpectedly poignant redemption arc. The run has been impressive. People are now curious as to whether it’s truly over. For the time being, the short answer is yes. The longer response is far more intriguing. Since the conclusion, the creators, Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg, have been…

Born in Kansas City, Sierra Foster writes about politics and serves as Senior Editor at kbsd6.com. She was raised paying attention to this city, not just living in it. Sierra has a strong, deep connection to Kansas City, from the neighborhoods east of Troost to the discussions that take place in the city hall halls. Sierra, who is presently enrolled at the University of Kansas to pursue a degree in Political Science, applies the rigor of academic study to her journalism. She writes about politics in Missouri and Kansas as someone who genuinely cares about what happens to the people in these communities—the policies that impact them, the leaders who represent them, and the civic forces influencing their futures—rather than as an outsider watching from a distance. Her editorial coverage encompasses state-level policy, local government, and the national political currents that permeate bi-state regional life. Whether it's a city council vote or a Senate race, she has a special gift for turning complex policy language into writing that feels urgent, relatable, and worthwhile. Sierra seldom sits still off the page. She claims that playing soccer on a regular basis has sharpened her instincts for political reporting because of the sport's teamwork, strategy, and requirement to read a changing game in real time. She's probably somewhere in Kansas City with her friends when she's not writing or on the pitch, discovering new reasons to adore a city she already knows so well.
This week, Abbott Laboratories resolved its appeal of a $495 million verdict, and a document that most people will never see was filed in a Missouri appeals court. No big announcement. No press conference. At least for one family, it was just a document and the official conclusion of a case that had been dragging through the courts for two years. St. Louis rendered the initial decision in 2024. A jury determined that an Illinois girl developed necrotizing enterocolitis, a dangerous and frequently fatal bowel disease that mainly affects premature newborns, as a result of using Abbott’s specialized preterm infant…
One April morning in 2019, Thuli Nagel’s 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC 220d broke down on Lydenburg Road in Mpumalanga. She likely believed that calling for assistance would be the most difficult part. A tow truck arrived. The car was delivered to Garden City Motors, a Mercedes-Benz dealership. She anticipated a fix. Instead, a seven-year legal battle ensued, involving two courtrooms, a retired magistrate, and a crucial witness who called in from Germany. As these things go, Nagel’s assertion is simple. After the repairs, she looked at her car and thought it was in worse shape than when she had given it…
The sky can’t decide what it wants to be at one point, usually in the middle of the afternoon in Broken Hill. That’s precisely what Thursday is doing. The temperature is 14°C at 4 p.m. local time, with a light wind coming in from the northwest, humidity at 81%, and a flat, gray cloud ceiling. This type of weather seems a little out of place for a town known for its red dirt and sun-baked silence, situated deep in the far west of New South Wales. And yet, here it is. At 4:18 p.m. AEST on Thursday, the Bureau of…
Outback Australia is characterized by a certain type of stubbornness. It’s not a performance. People simply carry on with their lives despite the fact that the ground beneath them has become more akin to a swamp. This week at Mundi Mundi Bash 2026, one of the nation’s most popular music festivals encountered a crisis that no amount of preparation could have fully predicted, putting that stubbornness on full display. Eleven days of rain. In the run-up to this year’s event, that’s what struck the Mundi Mundi Plains close to Broken Hill. The region’s all-time August record, set back in 1973,…
There’s a certain kind of grief that comes on slowly. Not the quick and sharp kind. The kind that grows over years of trips to the hospital, posting pictures of your son in a wheelchair on social media, and telling everyone about your son who can’t speak for himself. Every boxer knew this day would come when Richard Colón wrote on Facebook that his son Prichard had died. It had been on the way since October 2015. Prichard Colón passed away on August 13, 2026. He was 33 years old. His death was caused by a single fight, a 10-round…
The way Alicia Hannah-Kim entered the Cobra Kai universe is subtly amazing. She just showed up in Season 5 as sensei Kim Da-Eun and made the kind of impression that viewers are still talking about, without any fanfare or long build-up. That was a big deal for a show that had built its mythology around a few well-known characters over the course of four seasons. The timing of her story is what makes it intriguing. Hannah-Kim has been candid about the fact that when the Cobra Kai opportunity presented itself, she was thinking about giving up acting completely. She was…
What does the fact that Kelly Loeffler’s height is one of the most-searched facts about her say about her? That is not her record in the Senate. Not the years she ran Bakkt. Not even her confirmation as head of the Small Business Administration. How tall she is. She confirmed this in a social media video that went viral in a quiet way. She is five feet eleven and a half inches tall. For a well-known person whose work includes politics, business, and owning professional sports teams, it shows how people make a mark. And Loeffler has a lot of…
The largest bank in the nation announced a “Australian banking first” on August 18: a complete overhaul of the bank’s rewards program that will allow consumers to accrue points from debit cards, savings accounts, term deposits, home loans, and even insurance products in addition to credit cards. The Reserve Bank of Australia’s much-discussed ban on card surcharges will take effect on October 1st, coinciding with the implementation of the changes. It doesn’t seem like a coincidence. A new currency known as Yello points will be introduced as part of the redesigned program, which is based on the current CommBank Yello…
When someone who loved you but could no longer be with you writes a tribute, it’s emotionally painful. After Hayden Panettiere’s death, Wladimir Klitschko posted on Instagram, but he didn’t write like a famous person trying to keep up appearances. He wrote like someone who had lived with someone, raised a child with her, and stood back and watched as she fought battles he couldn’t fight for her. She died in Greenville, South Carolina, on a Sunday afternoon. Sixty-six. Around 1:50 p.m., someone called 911 to say that someone was having a cardiac arrest at an apartment complex. The next…
