A 14-year-old girl from Xi’an, China, performed a solo violin performance on a Beijing rooftop in the summer of 2010. At least on screen, it became one of the most memorable scenes in a movie that made over $350 million worldwide. Wenwen Han was that girl. In the Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan reimagining of The Karate Kid, the role was Meiying, the quiet, talented musician love interest. Then Wenwen Han vanished almost as fast as she had appeared. Not in a dramatic manner. No public falling out, no scandal, no career ruin. She just took a step back. Wenwen…

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.
When you see Pete Davidson reading “Okinawa” while wearing a satin bomber jacket, blue contact lenses, and a slicked-back wig on Coney Island, you can’t help but be surprised. This is the work. He pursued the post for three years. The movie Tommy Karate, which Davidson co-wrote and is now filming all around Brooklyn, follows Tommy Pitera, a soldier from the Bonanno criminal family from Gravesend, Brooklyn, who is feared for his martial arts skills and suspected of up to 60 killings. This disturbing tale is based on Philip Carlo’s 2009 book The Butcher: Anatomy of a Mafia Psychopath. Davidson…
There is a version of Saturday nite at UFC Shanghai in which Usman Nurmagomedov does nothing but stand in the corner and watch his brother lose. That version does not get shared a lot. That version doesn’t write opinion pieces, start debates, or post on Instagram. That time, he just sits there, watches, and hurts like any older brother would. Then the cameras move on. It did not happen that way. Umar Nurmagomedov lost consciousness before he hit the canvas when Song Yadong’s right uppercut hit him in the chin late in the second round. It had a finish that…
The release date for Grand Theft Auto VI is now set in stone. November 19, 2026. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. That much is certain, as confirmed by Rockstar Games and backed up by almost thirty minutes of Extended Look gameplay footage that debuted in late August on Netflix and YouTube. It’s clear that people are really excited about this game because the video got 5.2 million views in less than a day. There has been a lot of talk about Vise City’s huge map, Lucia and Jason’s relationship, and whether the PS5 Pro will ever reach 60fps. However, GTA…
The internet hasn’t calmed down since Rockstar Games finally showed the world what Grand Theft Auto VI looks like when it’s being played, which was about three days ago. People started asking the question that gaming forums always end up with: will GTA 6 run at 60fps on PS5 Pro? This happened sometime between the footage of the police chase and the first real look at Lucia and Jason’s world. Based on what we know now, the short answer is probably not at launch. I like the longer answer better. In fact, this is what has been proven. YouTuber Davy…
Something feels off when you’re watching a disaster happen live and the numbers keep changing before you can keep up. Everyone is still wondering how many people are missing in Nepal four days after a Himalayan glacier near the border between Nepal and China broke off, forming a wall of water, mud, and broken rock that tore through river valleys. As of Sunday, August 30, 2026, the truth is that at least 2,498 people haven’t been found in Nepal alone. There are also 546 people missing in Tibet’s Gyirong County, which is across the border. The total number of deaths…
Since 1986, John Kreese has been dying. After losing a street fight and being left gasping on a mat in Karate Kid Part II, he reappeared years later with a fresh plan and a grudge. The franchise has a pattern of letting this character seem to be finished before coming up with an excuse to bring him back. Therefore, the honest response from anyone who has followed this franchise for any amount of time is probably uncertain when the Cobra Kai finale placed Kreese on a yacht with a lighted cigar, a pool of spilled fuel, and Terry Silver in…
On January 5, 2006, Griffin Santopietro was born in Portland, Maine, a place more famous for its lobster and lighthouse postcards than for its television professions. He is now twenty years old, and depending on how you first came across him, you may remember him as the young actor who created some of the most emotionally grounded work the series produced in its last seasons, or as the child who was easy to ignore in the early seasons of Cobra Kai. Both perceptions are true, and the difference between them basically tells the tale of his tenure on the program.…
Most people don’t look when a stack of two-pound bags falls off a grocery store shelf. After four months, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration changed how big the recall was from what it had said at first. Over 54,000 pounds of rice, or 27,324 packages, are now in it. They are spread out across twelve states. That’s not right at all. That’s a big addition to a recall that didn’t get enough attention. It is Lundberg Family Farms White Rice Jasmine. The UPC code for it is 073416040281 and it comes in 32-ounce bags. There are two lots in…
Kaylee Hottle was born in Atlanta, Georgia, into a multi-generational deaf family, with four generations of deaf relatives on her father’s side alone. In a more equitable world, her fluency in American Sign Language as a child might have made for an intriguing biographical detail. Rather, it served as the basis for one of the more subtly noteworthy casting choices in a big franchise movie in recent years. On July 21, 2026, she passed away in a car accident in Maryland at the age of eighteen. A 19-year-old’s 1995 Honda Accord veered off the road and collided with a culvert…
