First..basketballs bounce off of any and every surface on Planet Earth not named water.
The Big Thing This REALLY Points Out is the Difference Between the R&A and the "Members" of Augusta National.
Bones would have been tackled before he ever got on that fairway with a "prop"

@MarcWeinbergWX The lightning bolts were intense. My son was mesmerized.

1,433 without power in Louisville. Most reports on the southwest side of the city. Not a huge number, but it is a big deal if you are one of those without power.

@conorsen Just today I bought my ticket for the Indianapolis IMAX. Had to go out to August 10 to find a decent seat. Two hour drive from Louisville.

25% of the Thursday Odyssey gross came from IMAX screens.
5% of the gross came just from the 34 IMAX 70MM screens.

No one is celebrating #TheOdyssey record breaking 17.6M THU Previews at US #BoxOffice as much as IMAX execs: they won’t regret the multi-week exclusivity given to #ChristopherNolan. 25% of the Previews’ grosses came from IMAX alone. Even more impressive: only 34 screens playing the epic in IMAX 70MM were responsible for 5% of the Previews’ grosses, meaning SPECTACULAR $26k average per IMAX 70MM screen, and again, that’s just from THU Previews. #TheOdyssey has it all to challenge the #Avatar films and set opening records in IMAX theatres this weekend! It won’t be just IMAX celebrating though. With most of IMAX theatres sold out for the weekend, PLF theatres in general are also seeing massive surge in bookings. So much so that, for the THU Previews, the other PLF formats represented INSANE 33% of the Previews’ grosses, meaning that, combined with IMAX, the PLF theatres were responsible for over 58% of the total grosses yesterday, meaning around 10.2M. That means that #TheOdyssey grossed only from PLF formats technically what #Oppenheimer took its whole theatrical footprint to achieve on Oppie’s 10.5M total THU Previews. That’s how much bigger #TheOdyssey is behaving even for a movie sold as a PLF wonder.

@barstoolsports Do they just try and find someone with the most ridiculous giant ears to be both NBA & WNBA Commisioners?

Adam Silver allegedly had To FORCE Cathy Engelbert to suspend Alyssa Thomas for assaulting Caitlin Clark after she wasn't planning to punish the choke artist at all

@thebeltwayagent @conorsen My parents are both 71 and over the last few years, I can see the "elderly" stage setting in with muscle mass losses, etc. It's been a real adjustment in my 40s learning they aren't superheroes anymore.
English
@conorsen My parents are just starting to talk about retirement/plan for it & in its own way that fact has been a mini mid-life crisis for me more than I’d have thought.
English
I guess part of getting older, is when someone used to die in their 70’s I thought somewhat premature but old, now I think that’s like a decade older than my parents who don’t seem old at all.

That was a really poor half for the USA. Being down only 1 feels like a victory. Hopefully, we come out better in the second half.

@MarcWeinbergWX I've decided that even after all this rain, I'm still not cutting the grass before the end of next week. It's going to be a chore when I do.
English
The heat that comes in next week is no joke. This is has long duration heat advisory written all over it.
English
Seeing all this rain is good. It will be very tough to recover this air mass fully for any widespread strong storms late.

@MarcWeinbergWX I was very surprised to see that the flopping contagion has spread from basketball to soccer.
English
I am a HUGE soccer fan, but the amount of times it appears there is a career ending injury per game is crazy. Someone runs by you and the guy next to you falls down in horrific pain only to get up like nothing happened 20 seconds later.

@TourSwingsTommy I outdrive my 71 year old dad every shot on every hole. He wins every time. Literally, every single time. I play 8 times a year, maybe. He's minimum once per week.
English
I think arguing that LPGA players ON AVERAGE outdrive 15-handicap men is my hill to die on.
Tour Swings Tommy@TourSwingsTommy
Always wild to see people argue that your average 30 year old male amateur hits it farther than LPGA players. We're talking your average 30 year old 15-handicap. Not scratch. Does he occasionally get ahold of one and roll it out to 280? Sure. But 90 out of 100 times, these ladies are hitting it past you.

@Romaniiitedomum @TheStalwart @citrini I've heard the stories of AI girlfriends but I never considered that someone in another desperate situation might go with an AI child. I think I'm going to sit in a closet for a bit.
English
@TheStalwart @citrini Don't really need a son either if we're being dark about it.
English
I said this to @citrini last night, but in the future, will we really need storage?
I take a ton of photos of my kids, and they are on my phone and in a cloud. But in the future, won't I just tell a model "generate a photo from my son's 7th birthday" and it'll be just as good?

We experienced an anomaly during today's hotfire test. All personnel have been accounted for. We will provide updates as we learn more.

Every men's style mood board is like... THIS SUMMER. You should DRESS COOL and then it's followed by pictures of 3-4 of the most glamorous and handsome men of the 20th century. Sorry, most guys look like characters from Peep Show. We need to think more about damage control.

@taobanker I keep telling myself this while missing the whole ride.
