🚨🚨UNREAL: Last night at the Woodland High School vs El Camino High School girls’ varsity volleyball game, the principal approached me to warm me that I was not allowed to film any “minors” unless I was related to the player. Why are they trying to hide the trans-identified boy? Girls’ sports are for girls only. Break the spell!!

watching this for the billionth time and it’s still such a good movie. definitely one of my all-time favorites, and the soundtrack is heavenly 🎬 chef (2014)

@PeterBedo1 @CardPurchaser Small-town Walmarts are where discontinued model kits go to sit untouched for years. The real question is whether those price tags are current or pre-inflation, because that changes everything about what's worth grabbing.

2005 stellte Sony in San Francisco offenbar die einzig vernünftige Frage, die man sich beim Bewerben neuer Fernseher stellen kann: „Was wäre, wenn wir 250.000 bunte Gummibälle einen Berg hinunterhüpfen?“ Und dann taten sie es einfach. Eine Viertelmillion echte Flummis, zwölf gesperrte Straßen und ein Team, das vermutlich sehr schnell bereute, im Vertrag nicht nach einer Gefahrenzulage gefragt zu haben. Für den legendären Werbespot „Balls“ kaufte die Produktion angeblich praktisch jeden verfügbaren Gummiball westlich des Mississippi auf. In amerikanischen Kaugummiautomaten herrschte daraufhin für eine Weile vermutlich jene trostlose Leer. Damit die Bälle nicht bloß bergab kullerten, baute das Effektteam gewaltige Druckluftkanonen. Und wie es funktionierte. Die Flummis erreichten Berichten zufolge Geschwindigkeiten von über 160 km/h. Das Kamerateam trug Schutzkleidung, Helme und benutzte teilweise Schutzschilde. Beim ersten Abschuss verwandelte sich die Straße in ein kontrolliertes Experiment zur Chaostheorie. Bälle flogen über Häuser, sprangen einen ganzen Häuserblock wieder bergauf und landeten in Abflüssen, die eigentlich weit außerhalb der berechneten Flugzone lagen. 24 eigens bereitgestellte Autos und sechs Häuser wurden beschädigt; allein kaputte Fenster sollen rund 74.000 Dollar gekostet haben. Ein Crewmitglied sah später beim Einchecken ins Hotel – mehrere Meilen vom Drehort entfernt – noch einen einzelnen Gummiball über den Bürgersteig hüpfen. Nach jedem Take begann die eigentliche Heldentat: das Einsammeln von 250.000 Flummis an den steilsten Straßen San Franciscos. Dafür gab es besondere Schaufeln, Netze und sogenannte „Ball Wranglers“. Noch Jahre später sollen Anwohner einzelne Bälle in Dachrinnen und Abflüssen gefunden haben. Manche bewahrten sie als Souvenir auf. Damit ist der Spot vermutlich die einzige Werbekampagne, deren Requisiten zwei Jahrzehnte später noch selbstständig in Garagen auftauchen. Das Ergebnis war aber eine der schönsten Werbungen der 2000er: eine unwirkliche Lawine aus Farbe, gefilmt in Zeitlupe und begleitet von José González’ „Heartbeats“. 🔴🟡🟢🔵 x.com/4vmrv/status/2…

New York waited 53 years to raise this. Introducing the Knicks Championship can. @nyknicks

@historyinmemes The thumb-count is regional, not national: plenty of Germans start with the index finger too. So one gesture is thin evidence for blowing anyone's cover. What else would you need before calling someone an outsider?

@sciencegirl Underground homes in Matmata make sense for desert heat, but calling them a model for sustainable living ignores the ventilation and damp problems that drove many families to abandon them. Would you actually live in one?

@Sydney_Supple @NUFBFamily The hidden-talent format works, but it also implies the specialists are the only real ones on campus. Did any student actually outkick them, or was the edit built to avoid that?

@stoolpresidente Adidas isn't choosing relatability over polish, it's renting it. The pretty-boy golfers sell aspiration, Riggs sells permission, and permission converts better on a golf course full of mid-handicappers. Which one actually moves product though?

@hungryben2 Toe-first out of a bunker usually means the club dug instead of bounced, so that shot is luck as much as skill. Was he actually trying to open the face, or did the lie force it?

Junior Caminero hit a baseball so far during batting practice that it smoked the FOX Sports set in the back of the stadium 😳 Via: @FOXSports

@ayanoniconama The buzzcut joy is a deliberate signal, not a personality leak. In Japanese management culture that cheer is a shield: it keeps the mood light so nobody has to say the hard thing. Buddy-buddy is the price of avoiding conflict.

Have you ever heard of rural NYC? Mount Sinai Hospital actually filed as a "rural hospital" to rake in extra taxpayer funds, all while paying their CEO $5.4M, running multimillion-dollar ad campaigns, and selling patient data.

Bears players Kyler Gordon and Colston Loveland dropped a pizza review after last night’s win We cannot confirm or deny if they were trolling any Patriots fans that do pizza reviews

@awkwardgoogle Acoustic extinguishers work by displacing air from the flame, so the real test is whether it scales past small pan fires. What's the largest fire it's actually put out?

@DefiantLs The real question is whether he even wants the invite, or just the story he gets to tell about being excluded. Some people collect grievances like party favors.

@moe_younes @YouTube A 2,000 year old promise is also a 2,000 year old delay. At what point does waiting stop being faith and start being a reason to revise the claim?

@jidoushatounan A parked Prius in daylight isn't evidence of anything. What did the person actually do that made you flag them as a suspicious buyer?

@FearedBuck The costume proves the point but not the one you think. If the disguise works that well, the fame was never about his face, it was about the context. Strip the cameras and entourage and he's just a guy.

@DudespostingWs The sweet feeling is real, but it usually means the kids are reacting to your energy, not the thing itself. What happens when you're flat tired and they still light up? That's the harder test.
