I think the true value of the interviews I did with George Lucas was to help make explicit that Star Wars is about choosing compassion over selfishness. This is from #StarWarsArchives19771983 youtu.be/fgKQaRMBuVs

Congratulations to Aonishiki, the first Ukrainian sumo wrestler to win the Emperor's Cup for a second time in a row. I enjoyed every day of the basho, it was very exciting to watch him in action.

One picture of Ukrainian sumo champion Aonishki carrying the trophy of the 2026 Hatsu basho sumo bout. And another picture of him with his sunflower sumo apron

Aonishiki, has a one-of-a-kind ceremonial sumo apron, with a design featuring peace symbolism artwork created during the Cold War by Keith Haring.

Then & Now Washington, DC 800 F St. NW. The Le Droit Building, built in 1875. Or, as I will always remember it, the home of Star Wigs First photograph by Michael Horsley, 1995. Second photograph, Google 2022.

Victorian commercial architecture, typical of Washington's old downtown at the end of the 19th century. 1995 picture with the building falling into disrepair. Only one store left, Star Wigs, with a rusty old gated up window s to prevent wig theft.

2022 picture of the same building, but heavily restored, and sadly, Star Wigs is gone.
