Celtics Brown also raced the popular YouTube streamer. Jaylen Brown showed some off-court skills on Friday. (Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff) By Conor Roche September 5, 2025 | 4:55 PM 1 minute to read Share Jaylen Brown is officially in his streamer era, and he’s teamed up with one of the most popular streamers for his most recent live stream. The Celtics star and YouTube streamer IShowSpeed toured Boston together on Friday, sharing their several-hour quest around the city in a live stream. Brown and IShowSpeed first met while IShowSpeed was touring a Boston Tea Party Ship. As Brown complimented IShowSpeed for his colonial-era fit when they were on the ship, the two began dumping buckets of tea into the water. Actually, Brown shot the buckets of tea like a basketball. “We need this right now! The taxes is crazy,” Brown jokingly said. “We’ve gotta dump all the tea.” Later, Brown and IShowSpeed did Muay Thai together. As IShowSpeed continued his tour around Boston, he and Brown made their way to Downtown Crossing, where the Celtics player challenged the YouTube streamer to a race. Brown made a wager with IShowSpeed as well, telling him that he would have to change his name

FIDE Grand Swiss 2025, Day 1: A tale of two tournaments Round one of the 2025 FIDE Grand Swiss ended with a high number of draws in the Open section. By contrast, the Women’s Grand Swiss delivered early drama as several top seeds were upset by lower-rated opponents. The first games of the 2025 FIDE Grand Swiss started at 3 PM local time in Samarkand. Now in its fourth edition, the event has drawn many of the world’s strongest players – including the world champion, Gukesh D – to compete in what is widely seen as the most gruelling Swiss System tournament of the year. The round began with the traditional ceremonial first move on the top boards. Alisher Sadullaev – the First Vice-President of Uzbekistan Chess Federation and CEO of the Youth Affairs Agency of Uzbekistan – made the ceremonial move on board six, featuring Uzbekistan’s Nodirbek Abdusattorov. Sadullaev was joined by FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich and Chief Arbiter of the event, Laurent Freyd. The opening rounds of Swiss System tournaments, especially round one, usually feature a significant number of victories, as the strongest players are pitted against the lower-rated ones. But the Grand Swiss is different: there are

New tax changes coming into the effect in the United States are being noted primarily for their effect on restaurant staff and related workers, but US streamers may also be making more money thanks to new tax write-offs included in a “no tax for tips” bill. The streaming industry has boomed and become a massively successful business opportunity for many. New content creators join each day in the pursuit of potentially high earnings. American streamers may soon be able to earn even more money thanks to the new “no tax on tips” bill that will allow them to get tax write-offs for income that would include money made from digital donations. This tax benefit may potentially help the streaming industry overall, and most specifically smaller and newer content creators trying to break in. Will all streamers benefit from the US “no tax for tips” bill? The new tax changes in the “no tax for tips” bill are specifically aimed at smaller content creators and streamers, as those who make more than $150,000 in cumulative annual income won’t be able to take advantage of the included tax breaks. The new bill strives to even the playing field for workers in sectors

StreamVouch has introduced real-time Twitch chatters to help streamers overcome “silent chat boxes.” By fostering authentic conversations, the platform aims to boost engagement, improve discoverability, and support creators in building stronger communities on Twitch and beyond. United Kingdom, September 4, 2025 /MarketersMEDIA/ — StreamVouch, a live streaming support platform, has introduced its real-time Twitch chatters feature, aimed at helping creators foster genuine interaction and build stronger communities. The feature focuses on solving one of the most common hurdles for streamers: keeping chatrooms active during live broadcasts. New and emerging Twitch streamers often face “silent chat boxes,” where little or no interaction occurs. This can discourage viewers from staying, make streams appear less engaging, and reduce the likelihood of discovery through Twitch’s algorithm. StreamVouch addresses this challenge by providing Twitch chatters who participate in conversations naturally, helping streams feel more dynamic and inviting. According to the company, chat activity is increasingly seen as a critical signal for discoverability. A stream with consistent discussion not only looks more credible to newcomers but also encourages audience retention and repeat visits—two factors tied closely to platform growth milestones such as Affiliate and Partner. “Viewers want to feel part of a conversation, not just spectators,”

Mafiathon 3 Day 1 introduced viewers to fresh celebrity guests, surpassed key milestones and announced upcoming collaborations. After Day 2, Kai Cenat has already reached 200,000 subscribers (one-fifth of his total goal.) Plus, plenty of new highlights are popping up: Mariah Carey has entered the chat, model Winnie Harlow is serving style, and a rat cam is hunting down Cenat's new arch-nemesis. Here's everything to know. Mafiathon 3's total goal is 1 million subscribers, which would break Twitch's existing record. Kai Cenat has also promised that if his fanbase reaches the goal, Lebron James will cut his hair live on stream. On September 3 2025, Kai Cenat's Mafiathon 3 crossed its 200,000-subscriber milestone. This occurred just three days into the event, meaning Cenat has already reached 1/5th of his goal. Mariah Carey is one of the most iconic 90s and 2000s singers. She is also notorious for conquering Christmas music with her hit song All I Want for Christmas is You... and as fall 2025 approaches, she's already defrosting and getting ready for some holiday magic. On Mafiathon Day 3, Mariah Carey was Kai Cenat's next celebrity guest. The two chatted about her music career, life lessons and general advice:

In response to a column written by Front Office Sports’ Ryan Glasspiegel criticizing the SportsCenter legends for taking their new product to a new platform, Verrett defended the idea of streaming on Twitch, citing the availability of the show on other major platforms, and the ability to capture a younger audience. The preview episode of @stanandneilshow is already available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and anywhere else you get podcasts. ALL shows will be available there. In ADDITION, the show will be live on Twitch before it posts to the other platforms.

Tonight, on The Stevetendo Show, we’re jumping back into our Donkey Kong Bananza playthrough. I’ve really been enjoying my time playing the game on the show. I know it’s early, but Donkey Kong Bananza is one of my games of the year. We’ll have to see if games that come out later this year close the gap. Anyway, during the last Donkey Kong Bananza episode, we made our way through the Freezer Layer, collecting bananas and fossils along the way. This evening, we’ll try and finish the Freezer Layer and then jump into the Forest Layer. While in the Freezer Layer, we got our hands on the Zebra Bananza, which, in my opinion, is one of the better songs in the game. When we get to the Forest Layer, we’ll have to talk to the Ostrich Elder and grab the Ostrich Bananza. You can really see how much heart and soul went into the development of this game. Set to go live at 5 p.m. PDT/8 p.m. EDT, join The Stevetendo Show for more of our Donkey Kong Bananza playthrough. Poppy Kong.
