Luke is an amazing coach. Jonah has learned so much from him. I highly recommend him if you are looking for help for your child to get to the next level.
Congrats to Jonah on being a seniors division semi-finalist at NAIC 2026 with Zoro Brace!
I’ve been coaching Jonah for a while and am so glad to see him have an amazing breakout season - earning multiple day 2s, multiple top cuts, a travel stipend, and his first worlds invite!
Here's how to save Star Wars:
1) Produce no new live-action content for five years. Instead, produce once a year a high-end animation featuring side adventure taking place in between the original trilogy with the beloved original characters. Reach the kids, build good will.
2) Take all the attractions at the theme parks and refit them all to only be about the 6 Lucas films. Remake Rise of the Resistance into Rise of the Rebellion, Smuggler's Run into Solo's Run, etc.
3) Bring back the nostalgia during these five years. Market only the unifying and hopeful characters and content of the past that are timeless.
4) Five years from now, begin a new trilogy based on Timothy Zahn's outstanding best-sellers depicting what happened after Return of the Jedi. Recast the original characters still in their primes during this time with unknowns, and forbid them from ever making political or cultural comments on social media as part of the moral clauses in their contracts. Same for all the directors, producers, key grips, best boys, literally everyone.
If Jessup had said, "You're G-d d*mned right I ordered the code red" at the beginning of the movie then the whole thing would have been over.
He gave an order, his Marines followed it with a bad outcome. No one would have envisioned that the code red would have resulted in Santiago's death. If there were consequences for Jessup they would likely have been minor.
Instead, he lied repeatedly to investigators and under oath to a military court throwing two Marines who were following his orders under the bus. I'm pretty sure that's what made him "bad".
Because we do need men like him on that wall but they need to have honor.
One December Sunday morning, a Japanese pilot and his coworkers went for a flight over the Pacific for what could’ve been a normal, pleasant tropical day for a sightseeing flight.
But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change as the coworkers would be engaged in a civilization level struggle for dominance of the planet resulting in the destruction of their home country.
Our world is less rich without @ScottAdamsSays around.
This week, I missed Scott's amazing insights on the State of the Union persuasion.
@akirathedon's mix of Scott's words into music is powerful.
I have to believe that Scott would have absolutely loved it.
Thank you Akira the Don for bringing his message back and to more people.
