Memphis on the internet.
Marathon Weekend
The St. Jude Memphis Marathon drew throngs to the streets here last weekend with unbelievable sights like the one above on Riverside Drive.
More than 20,000 from 50 states and 75 countries ran this year. The marathon raised a record $15 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and brought an estimated $43 million in economic impact for the city.
Ribs? Yes, but …
X user @slow_school posted this piece of AI art with the caption, “Who wants some ribs?” It’s cool but disturbing in a way that’s hard to explain.
Meteor?
Over the weekend, many Memphis Reddit users reported seeing “a very bright white flare that shot straight down and turned more greenish as it fell.” It was most likely a meteor, according to the consensus in the comments. Redditors said they saw it from Arkansas, Midtown, and the Memphis Botanic Garden.
“The spaceship was found in a parking lot near 4th and Beale,” joked u/FedexRebel, “but it’s already been stripped of its landing gear, rocket boosters, and luggage.”
