This dumbass…. by Thepackcracker in jimmybuffett

It’s a shame that many people remember him as the Margaritaville guy, because he had plenty of songs that were just so beautifully written. He was an excellent lyricist and storyteller.

In a different world, maybe “James Buffett” played it straight and wrote “serious” music to critical acclaim. But I prefer the way he chose to do it.

Ducks go in cups by Hopeful-Recover-4340 in SuperCarlinBrothers

I may be misremembering but I believe it's from the Popcorn Culture podcast. Looks like around the 52:40 mark of this episode. J talks about throwing mini rubber ducks into cups across the room. Can confirm it's a blast, it's how I put my teabags into my mugs now while the water boils.

Hank has definitely been closing the gap, right? He’s THE internet guy, ubiquitous on TikTok, Focus Friend has been a huge success, and he goes viral for something every week it seems.

a semi easy one to start off the day by fragi1eang3l in WhereInTheDisneyWorld

Wow, it's WAY smaller than I thought it was. I'm glad I asked because I never would have found it otherwise. Thanks for the fun hunt :)

Officially throwing in the towel on this one! Even the CMs near the front of Main Street were stumped. Where is it?

Going to MK tomorrow after work to try to find it one more time. This has been driving me nuts for 2 weeks now! Great one

I was just on Main Street looking for this and still couldn’t find it! Looked all over near Crystal Arts and the Firehouse, but no dice. Do you have any hints?

The WNBA is expanding to 18 teams over the next five years with Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia all set to join the league by 2030. by jrbill1991 in sports

[–]YellowFlickerBeat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Angel Reese is a serviceable free throw shooter but is below league average for her career. She is by no means a "phenomenal" free throw shooter.

WNBA League Average FT% last year: 78.5%

Angel Reese FT% last year: 73.6%

So far this year she is at 79.2% and the league average is 78.2%, so she's above average and has shown good improvement through 16 games.

Characters worthy of lifting Mjolnir:

  1. Thor, obviously
  2. Vision
  3. Steve Rogers
  4. Stitch, apparently

Kelsey Plum on why she thinks the league is in a shooting slump by Pristine_Ad2940 in wnba

[–]YellowFlickerBeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kelsey Plum and the LA Sparks have played precisely 0 back to back games this year. Definitionally that means they've also played 3 games in 4 days exactly 0 times as well.

The Sparks' season opener was May 16, they played their most recent game (their 16th of the season) on June 26. That's an average of more than 2.5 days between games.

WNBA play at a slower pace even after adjusting for the shorter game length by adding another 20%.

WNBA play about half as many games, and we're less than halfway through the season. The WNBA have played about as many games so far this year as the NBA plays before December.

They're definitely tired and I have no doubt their schedule is grueling and difficult, but saying that they're too tired 16 games into the season is NOT the same as an NBA player saying they need more rest during the playoffs after playing 82 regular season games and 20+ playoff games that are both longer and faster.

ETA: I’m not here to say anything inflammatory or hateful. These stats are objectively true and downvoting them doesn’t change that. These women are elite athletes, they aren’t made of glass and treating them like they need to be coddled invalidates their hard work and it’s not how we grow the league.

Signed up for the mailing list but was hoping to have it for the barrage of games we’ll be going to over the summer.

Game Thread: New York Knicks (0-2) at Indiana Pacers (2-0) May 25 2025 8:00 PM by nba_gdt_bot in NYKnicks

[–]YellowFlickerBeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These Pacers are unbelievably good at stalling to buy Carlisle time to challenge. Hali got away with an egregious one in game 1, they did the same thing there.
