This might be the coolest real estate business in the world.

Some dudes took over a ranch in Texas and built a telescope farm. They're managing hundreds and hundreds of scopes for other people and offering super dark skies and fiber internet so that folks can take amazing pictures of space.

Behold Starfront Observatories.

Sting dropped some real wisdom in his CBS Sunday Morning interview:

He’s got the houses, the money, the rockstar life — but he’s telling his kids straight: none of it’s coming to you.

“I think the worst thing you can do to a kid is say you don’t have to work,” he said. He sees it as a form of abuse. All his kids have that extraordinary work ethic, and he wants them to keep it. “I’m paying for your education, you’ve got shoes on your feet — now go to work.”

Not cruel. Kind. A deep trust that they’ll make their own way. And when asked if they ever tell him to slow down and enjoy his wealth? “Not to my face,” he laughed.

In a world obsessed with shortcuts, trust funds, and “passive income,” Sting reminds us that real confidence and character come from earning your keep. Handing everything over can quietly rob the next generation of the very fire that made you successful.

I’ve seen this play out in my own life — watching how grinding through challenges built something no money could buy. The discipline and pride that comes from real work hits different.

What about you — do you think parents should leave big inheritances to their kids, or is Sting right that making them earn it is the greater act of love?

🏆 Congratulations to Rachel Entrekin for finishing first in this year’s Cocodona 250 and setting a new overall course record of 56:09:48!

The Cocodona course stretches roughly 250 miles from Black Canyon City to Flagstaff. Unlike traditional ultramarathons, Cocodona takes place over the course of several days, turning the race into a battle of endurance, logistics and mental resilience.

#UPDATE A large crane is being used today to remove large portions of Vaillancourt Fountain in San Francisco’s Embarcadero Plaza. Officials say the fountain is being removed because of safety hazards and structural concerns. @nbcbayarea

It is truly inspiring to see Anant and the #Vantara team stepping up to offer a humane solution for the 80 hippos in Colombia. As per Vantara’s founding philosophy that every life matters, Anant Ambani has appealed to the government of Columbia to save 80 hippos from death and offers a lifelong home at Vantara. He has offered scientific, operational and financial support to safely capture, translocate and provide lifelong care for these 80 animals at Vantara.

Your daily dose of Chonkers the sea lion.
I caught him and his pals snoozing ‘on the dock of the bay.’ Nobody’s trying to cuddle with him…

A sea lion named “Chonkers” is spending this spring sitting on the dock of Pier 39 in San Francisco.
Today he was spotted by KRON4 News reporter @JoeyHorta .
Chonkers’ enormous size stands out from other sea lions sunbathing on the pier’s K-Dock. He is a Steller sea lion, which is a larger-sized species than his California sea lion counterparts.

Only thing missing from Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 launch is putting treadmills in public places set to Sebastian Sawe’s record pace (like Runner’s Word did with a “tumblelator” for Kipchoge).

Randos on the way to work see how long they can keep 13mph (21km/h). Then, upsell.

For three years, every GPS system routed tourists to Elk Falls, Oregon, down Birch Lane instead of Birch Street. Different road entirely. Dead-ended at Connie Valdez's sheep farm. Connie handled it graciously at first. Put up a sign. Then a bigger sign. By year two she was averaging nineteen lost cars a week. She started selling lemonade and wool scarves from a folding table at the dead end. Made $1,400 in one summer. The city council petitioned Google, Apple, and Garmin. No response. So in March 2024, they officially renamed Birch Lane to "Not Birch Street." Tourism doubled.
