Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams is the king of the missed dunk.

The Chicago Bulls drafted Patrick Williams with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft because of his potential, not his polish.

As the 2025 TikTok ban deadline looms, here's what we know

TikTok is facing a potential ban in the U.S. that could go into effect just one day before a new administration takes the Oval Office — and its fate hinges on legal battles, political maneuvers, and President-elect Donald Trump.

What's going on with the TikTok ban?

We’ve noticed it on our site, and so have several people posting about the issue in threads on Github and Chromium.
