Cleveland has recently lost one of its great artists Chappelle Letman. Chappelle said he lived two lives, one as a painter with sight, one in Cleveland as a sculptor after going blind. I filmed a documentary on him and we remained friends. I will miss him. youtube.com/watch?v=0J_X1or2…

Victor Wembanyama dribbled a basketball up a dangerous mountain route in 4.5 hours (takes a normal person 7-8 hours to walk up it) while training with the monks, per @ramonashelburne
“One day he told Wembanyama to dribble a basketball up another dangerous mountain route to Sanhuangzhai, a monastery deep in the Song Mountains. The hike traversed cliffside plank paths, suspension bridges and ancient forests, and was five times as long as the one to Bodhidharma Cave. The trail forces you to climb roughly 2,500 feet in elevation across uneven ridges and stone.”

What an extraordinary talent!
Brian Wilson single-handedly raised the bar on how to write and arrange a great pop song. He inspired and touched so many songwriters, including me. It pushed the Beatles towards Sergeant Pepper and in God Only Knows he created a masterpiece that remains unmatched to this day.
God speed, Brian.

@UMBaltimore and @JohnsHopkins could lose millions because of a proposed Trump rule cutting NIH research funding. The move sabotages the partnership between government and universities that is the basis of American innovation, one researcher said.

The Nuggets have been MORE reliant on Joker the past five years than the Bulls EVER were on Jordan.
Jokic is the primary rebounder, passer, playmaker and leader every game!
