Unless you’re a bigot or a sadist, the news of late can seem pretty depressing. If you zero in too much on today, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that there was a time before now, just as surely as there’s time yet to come. That’s what they count on when they enshittify: that we’re all prisoners of the moment, willing to surrender to it. We’re not.
The Knicks news hasn’t been great the past few weeks, either. OG Anunoby sprained his foot before the All-Star break. Josh Hart has missed both games since the entr’acte with jumper’s knee.
