No days off until April.

It was #OTD in 1984 that the #Cubs clinched the National League East division title with a 4-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium. Rick Sutcliffe pitched a complete-game, two-hitter with 9 strikeouts while Gary Matthews, Rick Sutcliffe, Keith Moreland, and Jody Davis all drove in runs. This marked the Cubs' first postseason appearance in 39 years, dating back to the 1945 World Series.

When Ayo Dosunmu committed to Illinois, they were only getting started from the ground level. 9 years later, he's headed to the #illini hall of fame with a legacy that'll live forever. @Nathan1Nash recaps Dosunmu's thoughts this weekend STORY: armchairillini.com/ayo-dosun…

This statue is over 2300 years old. It's one of the very few ancient sculptures left with its original eyes, and I can’t get over how real they look... The statue is the Antikythera Ephebe, a Greek bronze of a young man made around 340 to 330 BC, and strangely enough, the reason it survived is because it sank. In antiquity, bronze statues were constantly melted down for their metal, turned into weapons and coins, which is why almost none survive. This one went to the bottom of the sea in a shipwreck around 60 BC and lay there for nearly two thousand years, until sponge divers found it in 1900. But let’s go back to my favorite detail: the eyes. When a bronze statue is made, the eyes are often set separately, inlaid with glass, stone, and colored paste to make them lifelike, and over the centuries almost every ancient bronze has lost them, leaving those hollow, blank sockets we think of as classical. The Ephebe still has his original eyes, made of glass paste, one of only a handful of ancient Greek bronzes in the world that do. And it changes everything because he does not gaze blankly into nothing, he seems to be looking, intently, at something that vanished more than two thousand years ago...

What you've all been waiting for ‼️

We are SO back 😏

Omg!!! ❤️🤍💙

John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836–1893), perhaps the greatest painter of the night

This is Marcus Aurelius. Nearly 2,000 years ago, he ruled the Roman Empire. But his greatest achievement was a private diary on Stoicism called Meditations. Here are 12 life-changing lessons from his personal journal:

The song that changed Jazz forever. Dave Brubeck Quartet: "Take Five." The "Impossible" 5/4 rhythm. Cool Jazz at its absolute peak.

The haunting sound that Roman soldiers would have heard from their Celtic enemies before battle came from the Carnyx, an ancient wind instrument used between 200 BC and 200 AD.

Does anyone remember this amazing story? On July 2, 1982, a truck driver from California flew 16,000 feet into the sky in a lawn chair. Larry Walters, 33, from San Pedro, had dreamed of flying his whole life. He bought 42 eight-foot helium weather balloons, tied them to a regular Sears lawn chair, strapped on a parachute, packed a BB gun to pop balloons to descend, a CB radio, sandwiches, and a six-pack of beer. He expected to float a few hundred feet above his backyard. He cut the rope and shot up like a rocket — to 16,000 feet. He drifted directly into the main approach path for LAX. Two airline pilots radioed the tower: they had just passed a man in a lawn chair holding a gun at 16,000 feet. For 45 minutes, he floated over Los Angeles, freezing cold, too scared to shoot balloons because he might fall. Finally, he started popping balloons one by one and slowly descended. He landed tangled in power lines in Long Beach, California, causing a blackout. When police arrested him, they asked why he did it. He said, "A man can't just sit around." The FAA fined him $4,000. He became a national folk hero — Lawnchair Larry — and inspired the movie Up.

Incredible how many Hanna-Barbera characters were voiced by Daws Butler. Here's just a small sample.

Illinois’ 2021 secondary was ELITE. FIVE #Illini defensive backs from that secondary are still in the NFL, led by Kerby Joseph and Super Bowl champion Devon Witherspoon. Is this the BEST secondary in Illinois history? 👀 Let us know ⬇️
