Is Jaden Smith in Cobra Kai? is a query that frequently appears in search searches and comment sections. It’s one of those questions that reveals a lot about how popular culture permeates people’s recollections. After watching the 2010 version on a Saturday afternoon, an adolescent finds Cobra Kai on Netflix, connects the dots, and wonders if Dre Parker ever made an appearance. It seems like a fair assumption. It isn’t. The short answer is no. Cobra Kai has never included Jaden Smith. Not in a flashback, not in a cameo, not even in the backdrop of a tournament scene. There…

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.
There is something very telling about an airline that is ending a route that it started only eight months ago. In March, Alaska Airlines started flying from Santa Rosa to Ontario, taking over a route that Avelo Airlines had dropped just a few weeks before. It was welcomed at the airport, people booked it, and the airline flew it every day on an Embraer E175. It’s done by October 31. Honestly, that’s not even close to a long run, which makes me wonder what changed. Alaska Airlines, which has the fifth most flights in the country, has been changing the…
A certain kind of unease settles over Hawaii when weather forecasters use words like “uncertain track” and “potential for multiple systems.” Indeed, that is the current situation. Two different tropical cyclones, Tropical Storm Lowell and Category 4 Hurricane Karina, are both moving through the Pacific, and the Hawaiian Islands are in the path of both of them. Things aren’t really bad yet. It’s not nothing, though. Hurricane Karina was moving west at a slow 9 mph as of early Monday morning, about 1,055 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. The strongest sustained winds had slowed down a…
Late in the day, when the kennels are full and the staff is moving around with purpose, there’s a certain kind of quiet that settles over an animal shelter. The occasional bark can be heard echoing through the hallways, which never quite feel empty. At the Gaines Street campus of the San Diego Humane Society, that quiet means something different than at most places. It was this group’s work that helped San Diego become the largest city in the US to kill no healthy, treatable shelter animals. In 2015, that took place. Since then, they’ve kept the line every year.…
Seeing a big star like Lionel Richie ask for a chair in the middle of a concert is a little unsettling. Not because it shows weakness—it doesn’t—but because it’s the kind of small moment that most of the time means something. During the last song of his set at The Muny in St. Louis on August 29, the 77-year-old asked his crew to move a chair forward so he could finish “All Nite Long” while sitting down. It was caught on video by fans. Richie had checked himself into a hospital by the end of the weekend. TMZ said that…
The Seattle Seahawks will host the New England Patriots at Lumen Field on September 9, 2026, in the first big NFL game of the 2026 season. The game will start at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. A lot of fans ask this question every summer, and the answer is simple. But this year, the opening nite has a little more weight than usual. One thing is that it’s Wednesday. In 2012, that didn’t happen again, and it still seems a little off, like when a holiday falls on a strange day of the week. The NFL usually starts…
What took place at the Grand Canyon over the weekend was especially cruel. Flash floods happen here all the time, so it wasn’t the flooding itself that was strange. A $200 million project was well under way to finally fix the canyon’s old water pipeline that keeps breaking. It had been planned by engineers for more than ten years. The money had been arranged. The work began in 2023. Then, over one weekend in late August, floodwaters ripped through Bright Angel Canyon and dammed up about 40% of the Transcanyon Waterline, according to the park. Millions of people visit the…
When Peyton List enters a scene in Cobra Kai, something clicks. It’s the bodily confidence, not simply the performance. You forget you’re watching someone perform because of the ease with which she conducts herself. Then, almost unconsciously, you begin to wonder: Just how tall is she? Depending on the day and the reliable source, the answer is 5 feet 6 inches, or around 1.69 to 1.70 meters. That’s a really good number for Hollywood; it’s neither exceptionally tall nor dramatically small. Just in balance. Additionally, that kind of middle-ground height tends to work in an actress’s advantage in a company…
The amount of attention Tanner Buchanan’s height receives is quite fascinating. It might seem like an odd obsession for an actor best known for ducking punches and kicking Cobra Kai. However, if you spend five minutes in any fan forum or show-related comment area, you’ll notice that the query, “Just how tall is this guy?” appears surprisingly frequently. In a nutshell, it’s between five feet six and five feet eight inches. The majority of publications place his height as 5’7″ or 5’8″, which puts him comfortably in the average to slightly over average range for American men. Even cast jokes…
Oona O’Brien portrays Devon Lee, a new member of Johnny Lawrence’s Eagle Fang dojo who joins Cobra Kai in Season 4. When O’Brien joined the cast, Netflix labeled her as a 16-year-old actor, placing her in close proximity to the teenage role she was playing at the time. Devon is typically thought to be between 17 and 18 years old by the later seasons. Viewers must infer her age from the school setting, relationships, tournament schedule, and the ages of the other young characters because the show does not consistently reveal her exact age. The question is intriguing in part…
