Kanye West's PS5 Library Mixes Hits and Surprises from 2025 Interview ClipFebruary 13, 2026 4:44 AM Full SummaryThe resurfaced clip from his interview with Justin Laboy shows Ye's games including The Last of Us Parts 1 and 2, Fortnite, Marvel Rivals, Roblox, Astro Bot (listed twice), Transformers, and Yakuza 4. Fans laughed at Astro Bot's double appearance, cheered Yakuza 4 as a gem despite some calling it the series' weakest, and puzzled over his Roblox picks—maybe games with daughter North or viral hits like Dress to Impress. Bianca Censori confirmed his love for story-driven titles like The Last of Us, while picks like Fortnite and Marvel Rivals show his multiplayer side, humanizing the rap icon as just a guy gaming amid the spotlight. Key TakeawayKanye West, relaxed in front of his massive TV during a 2025 chat, revealed a PS5 library full of fan favorites—and some head-scratchers that had everyone chuckling.

Debate Rages Over USAID Cuts and Child Death Claims One Year LaterFebruary 16, 2026 5:50 PM Full SummaryIn February 2025, Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, leading the Department of Government Efficiency, slashed USAID contracts worth tens of billions, paused operations, and cut 1,600 staff, folding much into the State Department. Critics cite modeled estimates of millions of deaths by 2030 from halted aid like vaccines and food, with one post by Mohamad Safa drawing 22,000 likes by comparing the toll to Gaza's 45,000 and Ukraine's 600 child deaths. Defenders call USAID wasteful, with only 10-30 cents per dollar reaching recipients, while courts have ruled parts of the cuts unconstitutional and DOGE has since disbanded. Key TakeawayOne year after Elon Musk called USAID cuts feeding the agency into a 'woodchipper,' a post claims those moves have killed more children than in Gaza and Ukraine combined.

Archbishop of York Calls Israel's Gaza Actions Genocidal ActsFull SummaryIn a Church Times interview following his recent West Bank visit, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell described Israeli military actions in Gaza as deliberately indiscriminate and genocidal acts, while labeling the West Bank a regime of apartheid and ethnic cleansing through settler expansion. He emphasized that his criticism targets state policies, not Judaism or Jewish people, and supports Church divestment from occupation-enabling companies. Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis rebuked the remarks as irresponsible and morally inverted, planning a personal letter to Cottrell amid growing divides among UK faith leaders over the Gaza conflict now in its second year. Key TakeawayAfter witnessing settler violence in the West Bank, Archbishop Stephen Cottrell has accused Israel of genocidal acts in Gaza and apartheid in the occupied territories.

Sean Strickland Questions Choosing Between Major ReligionsDecember 10, 2025 10:09 AM Full SummaryLate Monday, the former middleweight champion posted about the challenge of selecting one religion, caricaturing each while arguing the universe points to intelligent design by God. He called scriptures a tough sell since they're written long after humans appeared 300,000 years ago, yet if forced to choose, Christianity feels more like a way of life. Replies poured in with defenses of various faiths, historical corrections noting Judaism as the oldest monotheistic tradition, and jabs at atheists or rival beliefs, blending conviction, facts, and humor. Key TakeawaySean Strickland, the unfiltered UFC fighter, shared his honest struggle: he leans toward Christianity but wonders how anyone picks between faiths like Judaism, Islam, or others.
