LeBron James is entering his record-setting 24th NBA season after signing a two-year, $8 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, calling it his “last decision.” At 41, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer has another opportunity to add to one of basketball’s greatest résumés.

According to RotoGrinders, he also continues to build on his records for most 30-point games and most missed field goals, while…

Tim Pool posted a claim on X in July that’s been spreading like wildfire across social media, and it’s absolutely wild. He said rap music is dead because USAID collapsed, and now nobody’s listening to Hip-Hop anymore. The post got 1.6 million views and 58,000 likes, which means a lot of people are taking this seriously, but here’s the thing: there’s zero evidence this is actually true. Conservative commentators have been pushing this narrative hard since…
