If the Knicks lost to OKC, I was anticipating writing a column poking at how New York missed yet another chance to send a message.

Instead, I walked away feeling that the Knicks can play with anyone -- and I didn't feel that way a month ago.

Jalen Brunson is having the best season in the NBA no one is really talking about.

He was a top-5 MVP candidate last year, and his numbers across the board are pretty much better this season.

Chris London is one of the REI Union SoHo shop mechanics out on ULP strike! Why did REI take away workers' PPE without providing any evidence that ski tune work is safe to perform without it?

I’m curious how much federal funding he thinks the ACLU receives (it’s none).

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

I guess to avoid being killed in NYC like Brian Thompson you need to make sure you don’t become the CEO of a predatory, inhumane, and unjust healthcare company. Keep that in mind when applying for jobs people!

This isn’t even a slightly unique observation, but Democrats becoming the party defending failed institutions, without acknowledgement that those institutions have fundamentally failed, is probably the single largest barrier to regaining broad popular support.

Is there a moment in hiphop history that is more crybabyish than Drake taking legal action because he lost a battle? Is there a moment where a rapper cried onstage or something? Is there anything as wimpy, soft, and Karenish as this???

Never thought I’d say OG Anunoby is the most consistent Knick on offense but I don’t hate it #KnicksSky

It’s a shame Drake waited to sue Kendrick until after GNX came out. Wish we coulda heard more quality trolling against this fool.
