Merlin’s Comedy Club, founded by Mickael and Alisha Stevens in Coeur d'Alene, ID, is bringing high-quality, clean comedy to North Idaho, filling a gap in the local entertainment scene. Inspired by Dry Bar Comedy, they launched their first show in 2021 and have since hosted dozens of professional comedians seen on Comedy Central, Last Comic Standing, and late-night TV. Their shows, designed for audiences 13 and up, prove that comedy doesn’t need profanity to be hilarious—just sharp writing and real talent.

Beyond laughter, Merlin’s is deeply committed to the community, donating tickets to local charities and sponsoring youth sports. As they continue to grow, their vision includes expanding show frequency and eventually securing a dedicated venue.

SpaceX vs. Amazon
The Battle for Satellite Internet Heats Up

The competition for global satellite internet dominance is heating up as SpaceX’s Starlink and Amazon’s Project Kuiper prepare for major expansions. What was once a distant vision is now rapidly materializing into a two-horse race to blanket Earth with high-speed, low-latency internet using thousands of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites.

Starlink, operated by SpaceX, already has a significant head start with over 5,000 satellites in orbit and more than two million customers worldwide. Its growing network aims to serve remote areas where traditional internet is unreliable or unavailable. Meanwhile, Amazon is accelerating its Project Kuiper rollout after a successful test launch last year. The tech giant plans to launch more than 3,200 satellites in the coming years, aiming to serve both commercial and residential markets. Read More…
