Just made four baskets in a row at the basketball shooting game at Knoebels and the guy working the booth said he’s never seen someone do that before. I am going to ascend to heaven on top of the Phoenix, full of funnel cake and ready to fight God himself, I’m never coming down.

Scranton’s weird mall is the former Mall at Steamtown, now the Steamtown Marketplace, which is part-Boscovs, part-aquarium, part-medical annex, but the weirdest one in the area has to be the Wyoming Valley Mall in Wilkes-Barre. Just an empty shell of what it once was with a cratered parking lot.
tell me about your town’s weird mall
I’m sure the PbP has regrets on this call, so I’m not gonna pile on, but this def sounds like someone who was trying to cram in info (she only starts calling the play as the ball is halfway gone) and got caught off guard. Also, sounds like they’re not even there? Like it’s off a monitor?
and Denae Benites hits the first home run in Women's Pro Baseball League history!
Back in my 20’s, my friends and I used to do a pub quiz at a local bar. Dude who ran it would link several nuggets of info together to eventually get to his question…and I never quite felt chasing that high again until @celebrityhottub.bsky.social’s game on this week’s @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social
The little goatee to signify which horse is Kofi is a nice touch, but the broken horned unicorn being Big E made me weep

The right got a big win when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld states banning trans girls from women's sports. What's next? Over at @defector.com, I dig into their plan for essentially winding down competitive women's sports and Title IX — think of it as make women's sports girly again. Gift link:

just a quick reminder that this is Phil Mickelson's *official* LIV tour photo
Need Absolute Chimneys to find use in college football this year. Is it a sky high punt?
OH NO ABSOLUTE ARGENTINIAN CHIMNEYS
Gotta think the specter of the Butt Fumble hangs over the stadium for today’s final. How can you possibly live up to that moment?
Does the third VAR official get to sit down in front of a computer like his buddies in the booth, or does he have to stand there the whole match?
They should have just done the Champions League theme instead of whatever that was
A third place game in the CFP would be all-time “Nobody Wants This” and that’s why it needs to happen.
Not to be dramatic, but the Google Drive link to full episodes of The Soup is no longer working and it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to me.
Watching summer league NBA and Danny Green sounds like he’d rather be anywhere on earth than watching the Hornets and Celtics
How does Switzerland work its ass off to tie the game, then immediately pull that bullshit? You have them on the ropes! Just play!
All three host nations (Canada, USA, Mexico) fall in the Round of 16 by a combined score of 10-3.
A flat, deflating loss in front of a home crowd against a strong opponent. Just one thing left to do: Play the Penn State alma mater.
xG stat that Telemundo just showed: Belgium - 1.69 USA - 0.28 Is that bad?
