Kardashian breaks into tears, while talking about Kanye West

Kanye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, has played dumb, keeping a distance from Kanye West’s recent chaotic behavior and foolery.

Kim was recently interviewed on the ‘Angie Martinez IRL’ and spoke at length about the realities of co-parenting with a man that is constantly in the headlines, for all the negative reasons. While speaking to Martinez, Kim addressed what it means to deal with things that are beyond her control and responsibilities.

Twitter Will Now Ban Some Links To Other Social Media Sites

Twitter said Sunday it would ban links to other social media services and suspend accounts that try to direct users to alternative platforms, in an apparent attempt to stem user defections to competitors. But Twitter CEO Elon Musk later relented, loosening the policy and causing widespread confusion about what kind of linking was allowed and disallowed on the platform. Under the new policy stated Sunday afternoon, links to content on Facebook and Instagram would be prohibited, as well as links to content on emerging Twitter alternatives, including Mastodon and Post. The rule also covers Truth Social, the Twitter clone backed by former President Donald Trump. Twitter’s move signals a shift toward a more closed environment, one that still accepts incoming traffic from other sit...

Crypto Tycoon Bankman-Fried Arrested In Bahamas

Disgraced cryptocurrency tycoon Sam Bankman-Fried was arrested Monday in the Bahamas at the request of the United States, according to US officials seeking to charge him after the spectacular collapse of his FTX platform.

KANYE WEST
Gets Booted From Twitter

Kanye West is back in Twitter's doghouse for spreading more antisemitic hate ... but this time his account was PERSONALLY suspended by the platform's new CEO Elon Musk. The rapper ran afoul of Twitter's policy against inciting violence after posting an altered image showing the Jewish symbol of the Star of David with a Nazi swastika. Elon wasn't having it, tweeting a reply to Ye early Friday ... "I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended." Kanye's tweet was swiftly removed ... it's not clear how long his suspension is for. His account was suspended once before in October (pre-Musk) after he posted antisemitic remarks. During their bizarre discussion, Jones tried to denounce the Nazis, but Kanye woul...
