Kanye West joined Twitch. He didn't last 10 minutes before getting banned
Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, created his own Twitch account early Friday. "Yeezy_Stream" was taken down just seven minutes after going live after the rapper almost immediately launched into a tirade against Jewish and LGBTQ+ people.
Despite regularly appearing in streams with, and alongside, famous Twitch streamers like Kai Cenat, Adin Ross, and Amouranth, it looks like Ye's own Twitch career will be short-lived. After creating his own Twitch account on Friday, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West got banned by the platform for sharing hateful rhetoric.
According to The Daily Beast, Ye almost immediately launched into a tirade about Jewish people and the LGBTQ+ community during his inaugural Twitch stream, using slurs and throwing up a Nazi salute while saying 'Heil Hitler.'
Ye also notably claimed Elon Musk gave him 'free passes' to post his unfiltered thoughts, including a series of disparaging posts about his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, on X.
In just about seven minutes, Ye's stream was replaced by a message from Twitch that said, 'This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch's Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.'
According to Dexterto, Ye accumulated about 3,000 followers and over 1,000 viewers during his minutes-long stream.
Twitch did not immediately respond to Fortune's request for comment.
It's unclear how long the ban will last, but Ye has a history of getting banned from social networks for his speech and rhetoric. Ye, who is worth roughly $2.7 billion as of 2025 thanks to his long successful career in music, was banned from Twitter (now X) in October 2022 for saying he would go "death con 3 on Jewish people." He was also suspended just two months later for tweeting an image that combined the Star of David with a swastika. In a recent sitdown with DJ Akademiks this month, Ye showed up to the interview wearing an all-black KKK-inspired hood and outfit.

Is Mashle season 3 coming in June 2025? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 10, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated June 10, 2025, 11:05 IST Is Mashle: Magic and Muscles Season 3 releasing in June 2025? Fans of the action-packed, comedy-filled anime are buzzing with excitement, eager to know when Mash Burnedead will return to Easton Magic Academy. With its unique blend of Harry Potter-inspired magical worldbuilding and One Punch Man-style humor, Mashle has carved out a dedicated fanbase. In this article, we'll dive into the latest updates on Mashle Season 3. Is June 2025 the Release Date for Mashle Season 3? The claim that Mashle Season 3 will premiere in June 2025 stems from a single report, but it's not backed by an official announcement from A-1 Pictures or the Mashle production committee. Most sources indicate that Season 3 is expected to release sometime in 2025, with predictions ranging from early to late in the year. The first season aired in April 2023, and the second in January 2024, suggesting a relatively quick turnaround between seasons. Given that anime production typically takes 12–18 months, a 2025 release is plausible, but a specific June 2025 date seems speculative without further confirmation. What Will Mashle Season 3 Be About? Mashle: Magic and Muscles Season 3 is set to continue Mash Burnedead's journey as he competes in the Divine Visionary Selection Exam at Easton Magic Academy. The season will likely adapt the Tri-Magic-Athalon Divine Visionary Final Exam Arc , the penultimate arc of Hajime Kōmoto's manga, and may touch on the beginning of the Eclipse Arc . Where to Watch Mashle Season 3 While Mashle Seasons 1 and 2 are available on streaming platforms like Crunchyroll and Netflix (with Season 2 debuting on Netflix on June 9, 2025), Season 3's streaming details are yet to be confirmed.

Paul English and Rachel Cohen's grand wedding at an Irish five star resort was the stuff of fairy tales
Rachel does remember Paul's 'power pose': arms crossed with a slight lean forward. Paul is the founder of career path working for luxury brands, which, to a guy who wears 'sweatshirts and T-shirts,' was intriguing, he says. On Friday, guests were able to explore the grounds of the 840-acre estate — visiting the falconry and taking carriage rides before the welcome dinner. Most stayed on site for the wedding weekend. Christina Brosnan They matched in November 2019. Rachel, then 31 and a Miami native living in New York then 31, was surprised that the app had connected her with someone outside of her set dating preferences. (She and Paul have a 20-year age gap between them.) Still, when he asked her to dinner at 'She was like, ' Just go — what else are you going to do?' says Rachel. Advertisement At dinner, they were seated next to an Academy Award-nominated actor and an uber-famous fashion magazine editor with an equally famous bob. 'I was listening to him, but I'm also trying to listen to the conversation next to us,' remembers Rachel. The Irish ceremony was not overtly religious, however, the pair incorporated a few Jewish traditions from Rachel's family, including a custom chuppah and breaking the glass. The couple also used Rachel's father's tallit during the ceremony. Christina Brosnan Paul, however, won her attention. Nerves and hesitations untangled over shared plates of pasta before they headed to a nearby jazz club called Advertisement 'It was something I didn't expect,' says Rachel, 'but it was such a great, fun, easy date.' He said he had known the moment she stepped out of a taxi at the date's start that he wanted a second; 'but by the time we got to Groove, I really wanted to see her again." His regular work trips from Boston to New York grew from a few days to long weekends during their budding romance. They took leisurely walks through the city during the day and went to hear live jazz at night, pausing for snacks and cocktails along the way. A dozen strings musicians on pedestals lined the aisle, playing — a vision Rachel had when they first began to plan for their big day. Rachel's processional song was "Hallelujah." Christina Brosnan The Covid-19 pandemic, however, put those dates on hold. They talked daily, exchanging texts between meetings while they worked from their respective homes. 'It felt very quickly like Rachel was my best friend,' says Paul. 'We had only gone out a handful of times, and [then], it was nightly FaceTimes.' When travel restrictions loosened, the relationship began to evolve. They introduced each other to close friends, and weekends together stretched into weekdays. Guests were guided by a team of equestrians and hunting dogs to the next event following the cocktail hour. Christina Brosnan A turning point came around Rachel's birthday in 2022. Paul joined her on a trip to Florida to meet her family. 'It was one of those moments of 'What are we doing? Where do we want this to go?'' explains Rachel. 'Because it could either be like, we leave it as is... casual and just fun, or do we want to try to make this work?' Related : Rachel had found herself falling for Paul's good humor and 'approach to humanity.' Both had been frequent daters before they met, and the contextual contrast, for Rachel, helped: 'When you meet people with substance, it's different,' she says. 'He felt like a different level — it drew me in.' Advertisement In addition to a boots-on-the-ground planning team in Ireland, Rachel turned to Etsy, Canva, and her own graphic design skills to create personalized surprises for their guests — from a Paul-Rachel-themed Monopoly board that was left in the resort's sitting rooms to themed newspapers with information about the two and the weekend ahead. Christina Brosnan Paul loved Rachel's duality — her kindness, as well as, her professional ability to command a room and navigate different personalties. He remembers being impressed by her confidence when he overheard her running a meeting while they both worked from home. Her warmth won over his adult son and daughter from a previous marriage. '[My kids] know she has my back... I think both my kids like how happy I am,' says Paul. 'It feels good to have a best friend and a partner who knows everything — the good, bad and ugly — and [is] still my rock." By April 2023, Rachel had moved in with Paul in Boston, where they currently reside with their miniature Yorkshire terrier, Koko. While the couple calls the Seaport home base, they are largely unmoored, estimating they clock 100,000 travel miles each year. The custom dance floor featured the pair's initials — however, it may have gone unnoticed once their band Brooklyn Soul got revelers out of their seats. Rachel gown is by designer Monique Lhuillier; Paul's tuxedo is by Pal Zileri. Christina Brosnan And after Paul proposed that September — moments before the 60th birthday party Rachel had planned for him at Warehouse XI in Somerville — their international mileage ramped up as they prepared for a wedding in Ireland. The multi-day destination celebration took place at the 19th-century former manor home-turned-five-star golf resort named They worked with Irish wedding planner Advertisement American-born Irish dancers and social media stars The Gardiner Brothers were one of several acts that paid tribute to Irish culture throughout the weekend. The duo performed during dinner, but also "dance bombed" the couple during their reception entrance. Christina Brosnan The extravaganza kicked off Friday afternoon; the couple aimed to surprise and delight. A welcome party featured performers who wrote original poems, played the lira, and passed telegrams between guests. By evening, the manor Tack Room was transformed for live music, burlesque, and magic — and a tight five by Paul — before guests were sent to bed with late-night snacks delivered in custom boxes from 'Koko's pizzeria.' (One of the many custom elements Rachel had designed.) They wed in the afternoon on April 26. While they had anticipated rain (it's Ireland), the ceremony took place under blue skies. The couple had legally tied the knot in a New York City Hall ceremony in January, but their April 'I do's were especially poignant, featuring vows they had written themselves. 'I wanted [our guests] to know what a good human Paul is — a good father, grandfather, partner, businessman,' says Rachel of her vows. 'I wanted people to see that it's more than just the one version that they know... or get to see." The giant (inflatable) polar bear is a running joke for the couple who first saw a street artist wearing the costume while on a trip to Berlin, Germany. Rachel ordered a version of the costume as surprise at Paul's 60th birthday, where it hovered over the pair while he proposed. It would have been rude then not invite the bear to the wedding. Christina Brosnan Rachel's design directive for the black tie optional reception had been 'magical, secret garden.' In the manor's Grand Ballroom, floral overgrowth hung among crystal chandeliers, jewel-tone velvet draped the tables and stage, where TikTok-famous Irish dancers newlyweds' first dance was to Aerosmith's 'I Don't Want to Miss a Thing.' F ol lowing t he wedding, they stayed a few more blissful days to explore the Emerald Isle. Advertisement The memories were plentiful , for Paul, the journey will always be his favorite part.

How important are Bob Dylan's Jewish roots? Entertaining bio doesn't really answer the question
The word 'probably' gets a major workout in 'Bob Dylan: Jewish Roots, American Soil,' Harry Freedman's new book made of equal parts passion and conjecture. The book's central premise, or one of them, sounds juicy: The man born Robert Zimmerman, and raised by a middle-class Jewish family in small-town Minnesota, worked hard to turn his back on his Jewish roots, adopting an anglicized name and spinning a string of tall tales about his background and upbringing. And yet, as Freedman implies throughout, elements of Dylan's Jewishness remained central to his art and identity, from his commitment to social justice to his imaginative formation of a new persona. It's an intriguing idea, but one that Freedman, billed by his publisher as 'Britain's leading author of popular works of Jewish culture and history,' never really pins down. He does, however, have fun trying. Even as he wanders away from his thesis for pages and pages at a time, Freedman provides a lively gloss on Dylan's rise from unknown folk beacon to counterculture superstar and, to some, plugged-in traitor to the folk cause. This period, of course, is also the subject of the recent movie 'A Complete Unknown,' which was based on Elijah Wald's superb book 'Dylan Goes Electric.' There will never be a shortage of Dylan movies — or books. So what makes this one worth reading? For one thing, it's a little strange. Freedman, whose previous books include 'Leonard Cohen: The Mystical Roots of Genius,' writes in a sort of modified hipster patter that fits in well with the Beat poets Dylan once idolized, and whom the author cites as another big influence on the young singer-songwriter. The author has a curious relationship with commas; his sentences often run on to the point where you might find yourself looking for periods without finding them. Sentence structure sometimes ends up blowin' in the wind: 'Coming on at midnight to perform just two numbers, the crowd went wild.' Yes, I suppose the crowd would go wild if it went onstage at midnight, or any other time really. Devoting generous space to the civil rights movement, the Red Scare, rock 'n' roll and other sociopolitical foment of the '50 and '60s, Freedman can adopt the tone of an earnest YA author: 'The kids were looking for fun, at this stage in their lives they weren't looking to change the world. But change the world they would. There was no colour bar to their love of music.' But he can also surprise with sudden, mischievous wit. On the protesters confronted by police at the Washington Square Park 'Beatnik riot' of 1961: 'A few sat in the fountain and sang 'We Shall Not be Moved.' They were.' And here he is on the antipathy that Mary Rotolo, mother of the young Dylan's girlfriend Suze, had for Dylan: 'She didn't have the same maternal feelings towards him as the other older women who had mothered Bob when he first arrived in New York, but that was bound to be so; he wasn't shtupping their 17-year-old daughters.' 'Jewish Roots' has what a book with a shaky premise needs to still be readable: a voice that never really gets dry. But then there's the 'probably' problem, which represents a larger issue of floating ideas that don't have the backing of fact. 'Bob Dylan was probably in the park that April day in 1961.' And this about manager Albert Grossman: 'The fact that both Dylan and Grossman were each blessed with temperamental Jewish volatility would tear their relationship apart in due course. But at this stage their cultural background probably helped to create a chemistry, a shared ambition for success.' This example underscores a separate issue that defines the book. Eager to serve his premise regarding Dylan's Jewishness, Freedman sometimes turns it into a flimsy fallback device. 'Blessed with temperamental Jewish volatility'? Sure. Maybe. Probably? It's pretty thin stuff, and it's indicative of an argument that never really coheres. In other places, however, Freedman can be quite sharp about the matter. Here he is describing Dylan's reaction to discovering that his friend and fellow musician Ramblin' Jack Elliott was also Jewish: 'Dylan had discovered he wasn't alone, and the suspicions of his friends had been confirmed; Bob Dylan was Jewish. And, of course, it didn't matter a bit. That's the funny thing about being Jewish. The antisemites hate you, the philosemites want to be like you, and nobody else gives a damn. It's a lesson that every Jew with a crisis of identity learns eventually. To stop being so self-conscious and accept the reality of who you are.' Of course, if nobody else gives a damn, one might wonder about the purpose of this book. As it is, 'Jewish Roots, American Soil' makes for fun reading even when it doesn't quite seem to know what dots it wants to connect. This would hardly be the first box that the famously elusive, self-mythologizing Dylan doesn't quite fit. Vognar is a freelance culture writer.
