LeBron James says his daughter is one of the biggest reasons behind his free agency decision

“This is the fourth time I’ve been a free agent.”

“When I went to Miami, I had my reasons.”

“When I went back to Cleveland, I had my reasons.”

“When I went to the Lakers, I had my reasons.”

“But now, my almost 12-year-old daughter is pulling a lot of weight.”

“I pulled her aside and told her, ‘I won’t be playing for the Lakers next year. I’ll be playing somewhere else.’”

“I didn’t want her to hear it from anyone else.”

“I told her, ‘You don’t have to answer right now. I just want to know how you’re feeling because you mean a lot to me.’”

“The family portion is a big thing.”

“People keep saying, ‘Hurry up and make a decision.’”

“But it’s not just about the team.”

“It’s about what’s best for me as a player, as a person, my happiness, and my family.”

“The family portion is huge for me.”

Hannah Rapp has passed away after being struck by a car on Saturday morning in Texas. She was 26 years old.

A former collegiate runner, the rising boxer recently challenged Tiara Brown for the WBC women's featherweight title in June.

The fact that 'The Matrix' actually got made is a literally miracle.

Will Smith turned it down for Wild Wild West. Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio all passed on playing Neo.

Warner Bros offered to rewrite Neo as a woman just to get Sandra Bullock on board.
Execs had absolutely no clue what 'living in a machine' meant.

In the end, The Matrix chose Keanu Reeves.

Microsoft's new Surface Laptop Ultra might be one of the most interesting Windows PCs this year.

-NVIDIA RTX Spark platform
-ARM CPU + Blackwell RTX GPU on a single chip
-Up to 128GB of unified memory
-CUDA support for AI and creative workloads
-Windows on ARM gaming is about to get a serious test

I saw RTX Spark first hand at Computex 2026, and the local AI aspects performed beautifully with Hermes, OpenClaw, and creative apps like Photoshop and Premiere (in a controller environment).

Gaming performed well with both ARM and x86 based Steam games (Alan Wake 2 and Pragmata, respectively).

Okay, this update is extremely fucking annoying.

The new Twitter UI overhaul on the app is now defaulting to the "For You" tab and always resets back to it, even if I set it to my preferred "Following" tab. Every time I reopen the app, it goes back to "For You."

I hate it.

The more footage I see from the Live Action remake, the more I'm convinced they filmed it in one day on the Volume and called it a day

Adam Silver says next season’s schedule is on hold until LeBron makes his decision ⏳👀

"We have to finish up the schedule and where LeBron plays affects the schedule ... opening week, Christmas. So I need him to make a decision."

IMAX CEO says demand for IMAX 70mm screenings keeps growing, but there’s one major problem:

“They haven’t made new IMAX film projectors in about 50 years.”

“So we retrofit them, rebuild them… Certainly, demand-driven, I’d like to see more.”

[kuz @kylekuzma]

Ngl it’s exhausting hearing athletes break down how their millions “aren’t really millions” after taxes and fees. 40M after taxes is still 40M.
The real issue isn’t the system, it’s lifestyle creep. Nobody told you to live like a king, buy 5 cars, or move with a 10‑person entourage. Modest is allowed.
