really disappointed to see that Playback was not able to secure funding necessary to continue operating. enjoyed tapping into NBA/WNBA games with creators on there in a shared, streaming format. I see they say they're working to sell the tech to a larger company - hope they do right with/by it

my wife was having so many issues with her webcam for work and it took me perusing one (1) reddit thread on the exact same problem to help her. great site.

We are 28.8 percent of the way through the NBA regular season.

So it’s time for our writer, Law Murray, to grade teams based on their progress so far.

you cannot begin to quote a post from someone you do not follow with "let me explain why this is happening" and then go on to say absolutely nothing of value.

if Ariel Hukporti can be playable that opens a lot of opportunity for the Knicks get value out of Tyler Kolek's minutes, as well. (despite their recent dust up lol)

even with them all having the same sized head with this animation style, jalen brunson has the biggest head.
First look at the animations of Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson for Disney and ESPN's "Dunk the Halls" game on Christmas Day.

i loved fannin coming out of the draft the browns genuinely knocked it out of the park with the 2025 class

my best friend is a single straight woman, and man, the dating pool for someone her age (29-35) is genuinely bleak for this very reason. horrendous stuff.
I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

very tired of the injuries that come against Orlando
Sources: New York Knicks guard Miles McBride had an x-ray on his left ankle, which was negative. Deuce will have an MRI tomorrow for further evaluation.

McBride came into today’s game averaging career-highs in points (12) and 3-point percentage (46.2).

aw Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers at the Knicks game today!
December 7, 2025 at 7:06 PM
will say I am enjoying the slow progression of Hukporti’s game as he gets more minutes. feel like his athleticism serves this team well
the knicks have to do something about their complete lack of rim protection and paint defense by the deadline

how it feels to just be able to watch games today and not cover one

at a friend’s bday party and they’re just bumping d’angelo and i am very embarrassed to say i had never listened to his music until right in this moment.

i’m mesmerized in their living room right now.

this was verbally beaten out of me as a Bronxite attending school with a bunch of Rochester/Buffalo people, so no, it is not upstate
In case you're wondering how Knicks-Jazz is going, it's not even the middle of the second quarter and Mike and Clyde are discussing whether Middletown, NY counts as Upstate New York.
