Sit back and enjoy the BRM V16 1.5 litre Supercharged,at Shelsy Walsh. The engine was build by British Racing Motors for competing in Formula One,in the aftermath of World War II. Designed in 1947 and raced until 1954–55, it produced 600 bhp (450 kW) at 12,000 rpm. The chassis of the BRM Type 15 car designed for the engine was made by Rubery Owen.. Reliability was a problem during the car's brief Formula One career, the car and engine went on to become quite reliable after the initial problems had been worked out. 📽️ Shelsy Walsh #F1 #RetroF1

Hell yeah it is!!! I think about his unfiltered take on his historic qualifying run in the documentary Uppity ALL THE TIME. Willy T is the man!!!

This MLB Opening Day edit to the Moneyball music is incredible >>>

This is Marcus Agrippa. His genius would revolutionize Ancient Rome and the world. Let's dive into the forgotten story of one of the greatest architects of all time... 🧵

May 16, 1963. Gordon Cooper was orbiting Earth alone inside a capsule barely big enough to turn around in, moving at 17,500 miles per hour. He had been up there for over a day. Then the warnings started. First a faulty sensor screaming that the ship was falling — it wasn't. He switched it off. Then something far worse: a short circuit knocked out the entire automated guidance system. The one that kept the capsule steady. The one that was supposed to bring him home. Without it, reentry was nearly impossible. Too shallow an angle and the capsule would bounce off the atmosphere back into space. Too steep and it would incinerate. The margin for error was razor thin — and every computer that was supposed to hit that margin was dead. Down on the ground, NASA engineers watched the telemetry in silence. They could see everything going wrong. They could fix nothing. Cooper didn't panic. He uncapped a grease pencil and drew lines directly on the inside of his window to track the horizon. He looked up at the stars he had spent months memorizing and used their positions to orient the ship by eye. Then he set his wristwatch. Because when you have no computers left, you become the computer. At exactly the right moment — calculated in his head, confirmed by the stars outside — he fired the retrorockets. The capsule shook. The sky turned to fire. For several minutes, no one on Earth could reach him as plasma swallowed the ship whole. Then the parachutes opened. Faith 7 hit the water just four miles from the recovery ship — the single most accurate splashdown in the entire Mercury program. The man with a wristwatch and a few pencil marks on a window had outperformed every automated system NASA had. We talk a lot about technology saving us. And it often does. But Cooper's story is a quiet reminder that behind every machine, there still has to be a human being who can look out the window, think clearly under pressure, and decide what to do next. The final backup was never the software. It was him.

On this day in 1966, Texas Western's "Glory Road" squad upset Kentucky to win the National Championship 👏 The Miners were the first team to start an all-black starting five in a Championship Game. #MarchMadness

Something tells me we all need a bit of this 🎶 today.

I think about this scene often. It’s from the movie A River Runs Through It. Turn up the volume and give this a listen before bed. You won’t regret it.

We now have evidence that gentle parenting doesn’t work. Here’s an uncomfortable truth about parenting no one wants to say out loud: The data is not kind to gentle parenting. According to teenagers, strict curfews. strict bedtimes, screen limits, device drop off times, dedicated homework blocks, and sleepover restrictions IMPROVE higher relationship quality. And yes, parenting difficulty goes up. Of course it does. Leadership is harder than appeasement. For the past decade we have been sold a watered down, Instagram friendly version of “gentle parenting” that often collapses into boundary avoidance, endless negotiation and emotional processing without enforcement. Parents terrified of saying no because they do not want to rupture connection. But connection without authority is not connection. It is dependency. When parents impose structure, the relationship improves. Teenagers report better parent child relationship quality in homes with curfews and rules. Younger kids report better relationships in homes with screen limits and bedtimes. Even device drop off times correlate positively. Why? Because structure is not cruelty. Structure is love made visible. A bedtime says: your brain matters more than your entertainment. A screen limit says: your dopamine system is not fully developed and I will guard it until it is. A curfew says: your safety matters more than your social standing. That is not authoritarianism. That is caring. Boundaries create friction. Friction creates growth. The parent absorbs the short term discomfort so the child does not pay the long term cost. Children do not experience well calibrated limits as rejection. They experience them as stability. The human brain craves predictability. Predictability reduces anxiety. Reduced anxiety strengthens attachment. That is why relationship quality goes up. Notice something else in the data. The strongest effects are around time structure. Bedtime. Homework. Devices. Outside play. These are environmental constraints. They scaffold executive function. The winning formula is not tyranny. It is high warmth plus high structure. The modern failure mode is high warmth plus low structure. That is just abdication of responsibility wrapped in empathy. Children need leadership, not negotiation. They need adults who can tolerate their anger. They need boundaries that do not move every time emotions spike. They need someone whose prefrontal cortex is fully myelinated. The harder path produces the stronger bond. Because when a child feels that someone is strong enough to hold the line, they relax. And relaxed nervous systems build durable relationships.

Immediately after USA Hockey won gold, they used the platform to honor Johnny Gaudreau. A beautiful tribute to a fallen brother. His kind spirit is always with them. They carry him every day. Our ESPN piece on the life and legacy of Johnny Hockey, from one year ago.

The Denver CPA, who sold his complete baseball card sets from 1952-67, to fund his dream museum dedicated to the original 14 classic ballparks.

It’s officially baseball season.

LEGENDARY: #Chargers icon LaDainian Tomlinson Hall of Fame speech was one of the most powerful speeches ever. x.com/pahrduve/statu… “If this is my final day on earth, and this is my last speech, here’s the message. I’ll leave you.” He talked about how his great-great-great-grandfather arrived in America on a slave ship and how that cruelty shaped his family's journey. “My story is America’s story.” LT also spoke about how his mom told him at 6 years old that he would go to the NFL, so soon after he asked for a weight set, because he “needed to get bigger if he was going to make it to the NFL.” 🫡🫡🫡
