Alt-right writer Milo Yiannopoulos banned from Twitter for leading attacks on Leslie Jones.

Twitter has officially and "permanently suspended" Milo Yiannopoulos​, known as a Breitbart tech editor to some and a notorious, vicious troll to others.

The conservative blogger, according to The New York Times, "rallied and directed" hundreds of trolls in a campaign that left comedian Leslie Jones's page inundated with racist hate speech, which happens to violate Twitter's code of conduct.

Newsflash: Feminism is still Cancer

Jones' harassment prompted her to leave Twitter, but not before it started a discussion on abusive language that made it all the way to Twitter's top guy, CEO Jack Dorsey.

Before she left, Jones and Yiannopoulos, on his account formerly known as @Nero, did exchange messages.

And while Jones chose to leave Twitter behind, Yiannopoulos ended up booted from the site.

Yiannopoulos's previous troll campaigns include fanning the flames of Gamergate, and establishing the"Milo Yiannopoulos Privilege Grant," a scholarship for white men.

People on Twitter say that Yiannopoulos's suspension was a long time coming, because encouraging targeted harassment is a blatant violation of the rules. The statement from the company said:

People should be able to express diverse opinions and beliefs on Twitter. But no one deserves to be subjected to targeted abuse online, and our rules prohibit inciting or engaging in the targeted abuse or harassment of others. Over the past 48 hours in particular, we’ve seen an uptick in the number of accounts violating these policies and have taken enforcement actions against these accounts, ranging from warnings that also require the deletion of Tweets violating our policies to permanent suspension.

But his fans quickly started getting the hashtag #FreeMilo trending.

One pro-Milo argument is simply that hate is part of the package.

Yiannopoulos responded on Breitbart, saying, “With the cowardly suspension of my account, Twitter has confirmed itself as a safe space for Muslim terrorists and Black Lives Matter extremists, but a no-go zone for conservatives.”

“Like all acts of the totalitarian regressive left, this will blow up in their faces, netting me more adoring fans. We’re winning the culture war, and Twitter just shot themselves in the foot," he adds, “This is the end for Twitter. Anyone who cares about free speech has been sent a clear message: you’re not welcome on Twitter.”

On Wednesday, Rob Kardashian (the one who is male and whose name doesn't start with a K) and his fiancee Blac Chyna shared with the world the gender of their unborn baby. Well, they didn't, a source "close to the pair" revealed it to Us Weekly. Either way, word is out—they're having a girl. Congratulations!

My babies so pretty 😍👶🏽

Blac Chyna has another child, a 3-year-old boy named King Cairo she had with her ex, Tyga, but this is the first child for Rob. Previously, he's said that if he ever had a son, he planned to name him Robert, after his late father. But what will he name a girl? Roberta is an obvious option, but maybe something more original like Robertina? Robertetta? Well, they still have plenty of time to decide; the baby's not due until fall.

'Playboy' model Crystal Hefner says she removed her breast implants because they were 'slowly poisoning' her.

Crystal HefnerPlayboy model and wife of Hugh—wrote on Tuesday night about having her breast implants removed. She undid the breast augmentation procedure not because Hef is over them, but because they were affecting her health.

My Breast Implants Slowly Poisoned Me Intolerance to foods and beverages, unexplained back pain, constant neck and...

Posted by Crystal Hefner on Tuesday, July 19, 2016

The model learned that she suffered from Breast Implant Illness after suffering a variety of terrible symptoms including bladder pain, memory loss, and incapacitating fatigue.

Hefner's symptoms rose to the level of interrupting her life, and damaging her career:

I had to miss my Summer DJ residency at my favorite Vegas spot, the Rehab pool at The Hard Rock Hotel. The fatigue was so severe that I could barely leave the house or drive. I was afraid to get up there in front of a crowd and go blank with brain fog.

While she was suffering from the illness, Hefner tried to keep up a facade of normalcy by staying active on social media, using a backlog of photos:

I had a bunch of spare photos that have enabled me to stay active on social media for the last six months. I’ve tried to keep a facade of normalcy while working to figure out what was going on with my body.

Hefner was first diagnosed with Lyme disease and toxic mold, and it was through social media that she first learned about Breast Implant Illness:

I found a Breast Implant Illness website and Facebook group with almost 3,000 members. My symptoms matched theirs.

Over time, implants (both silicone and saline) break down and wreak havoc on your body. The shell on silicone and saline implants is comprised of silicone and over 40 other toxic chemicals: tin, zinc, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, formaldehyde and talc to name a few. Your immune system is constantly fighting them, leaving you vulnerable to other illnesses.

Hefner explained that the life span for breast implants is usually between 8 to 10 years, and then they start breaking down. She then did what she had to do:

Breast implant removal surgery is now the 10th most performed surgery in the United States. Breast implants aren’t as popular as they once were and I’m happy to see that.

I explanted with Dr Lu-Jean Feng on June 15th, 2016. I believe she is the best in the country at what she does. Instantly I noticed my neck and shoulder pain was gone and I could breathe much better. I know I won't feel 100% overnight. My implants took 8 years to make me this sick, so I know it will take time to feel better. I also have other illnesses to address, but with the toxic bags removed, my immune system can focus on what it needs to.

She ends her candid post on a call to action for people with implants, and to use her story as a cautionary tale:

If you know anyone with implants (breast, buttock, or any other type) who hasn't felt well, (low thyroid, fibromyalgia, food intolerance, immune disorders, insomnia, fatigue, aches, pains, anxiety, brain fog) please let them know that Implant Illness is real and could be the problem.

Many of my friends have implants. I worry for their health and hope that they, and everyone, can benefit from what I have experienced.

Good for Hefner for taking the steps to get well, and using her experience to help people. Here's hoping Hugh was a supportive husband and is available to help nurse her back to health.

93-year-old nurse retires after 72 years of work, now plans to volunteer.

South Dakota nurse Alice Graber worked as a nurse for 72 years before she finally decided it might be time to retire at the age of 93.

You kids didn't even use a Snapchat filter?

She got her first job as a nurse in 1944, and kept doing it because she liked that she was helping people and "it was one way of doing something good."

Is doing something good the secret to staying alive and vital? She has spent the last 20 years of her career working in the Salem Mennonite home for the Aged. Some of her patients must have been shocked to be looked after by someone older than themselves.

You sure you went to med school? I have grandkids older than you.

Not only did Graber take care of countless strangers, she also raised two children who gave her five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Graber's daughter Sharon Waltner told ABC:

My mother is 93 and in her generation, nursing was a sense of identity, in addition to making a difference in peoples lives especially in the local community. She was with parents when there was a birth and a death. These were some of the meaningful experiences that carry through the years.

That sense of identity is probably what kept her going through seven decades of service. This is probably why we won't see any graphic designers working into their 90s. Memes just don't have that same quality of do-goodness.

And even though she is retiring, she will continue to do volunteer work by feeding residents at the home. Great job, Alice, you're really an inspiration. The other nurses at the retirement home must be relieved she finally agreed to slow down. Not just because at this point you deserve a break, but anyone who has worked with an overachiever can agree you're making the rest of us look bad.

Stop loving me, I need to get back to work.

11 celebrities who are really bad at marriage.

$

Hollywood break ups are a part of our daily lives, like the weather or panic attacks over the upcoming election. It's no surprise that it's hard for famous couples to stick together, but some celebrities are just extra terrible at the whole "til death do us part" thing. Here are 11 celebrities who are keeping the wedding industry afloat with their many horrible decisions.

1. Larry King

Larry and his current victim wife, Shawn King.

Talk show icon and bag of wrinkles, Larry King has been married eight times. Well, you know what they say, if at first you don't succeed, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try again.


2. Britney Spears

Even the dog thought this was a bad idea.

Britney Spears is good at lots of things, like having hot abs, doing handstands, lip syncing, and Googling corn. One thing she's not great at is marriage. The pop princess went for it twice in 2004, and has wisely stopped trying. First, she had that 55-hour marriage to the non-famous, non-Seinfeld Jason Alexander, then she royally f*cked up and got hitched to a guy who went by the name of "Meat Pole."* (We know him as K-Fed, Kevin Federline, or Britney-ruiner.) Her marriages weren't a total waste though. She has two super cute sons, and this awesome clip of her talking about her oopsie Vegas wedding:

*seriously how did we not know K-fed's nickname was "Meat Pole?"


3. Billy Bob Thornton

BillyBobgelina just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Billy Bob Thorton has been married six times. Most famously to Angelina Jolie from 2000 to 2003. Those two had a real fun time drinking each other's blood and whatnot, but alas it just wasn't meant to be. As we all know, Angelina went on to steal Jennifer Aniston's husband, and Billy Bob went on to marry four more women who are probably very #TeamJen.


4. Cher

When you're the only one of your friends who's single and you DGAF.

Cher might be bad at marriage, but she wins at life. The musical icon has been married and divorced twice. She met Sonny Bono when she was 16. (He was 27, ew.) Sonny and Cher divorced in 1975. Five days after her divorce from Sonny, Cher married Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers. Her last divorce was in 1979, and she looks amazing. It's pretty obvious that 37 years of being single does a body good.


5. Tom Cruise

The 3rd time was not the charm for Tom Cruise.

Mission Impossible: Stay Married. Tom Cruise has been married and divorced three times. He first married Mimi Rogers in 1987, then Nicole Kidman in 1990, then Katie Holmes in 2006. Since TomKat officially disbanded, there hasn't been much news on Tom's love life. Pray to his alien overlord Xenu that he finds someone to "complete" him soon.


6. Nicolas Cage

If Nicolas Cage and Snoopy couldn't make it work, than who can?

Nicolas Cage is another eccentric star who's been down the aisle multiple times. He first married actress Patricia Arquette in 1995. Then he picked up Michael Jackson's sloppy seconds with a short-lived marriage to Lisa-Marie Presley in 2002. Two years later, he wed his 20-year-old girlfriend, former waitress Alice Kim. They lasted 12 years, but announced their split in June 2016. Nic Cage is known for his poor decision making skills, so he's likely to find a wife again real soon.

Wink.

7. Lisa Marie Presley

Speaking of poor decisions, the only daughter of Elvis Presley has been married four times. In 1988, she married musician Danny Keough. In 1996, she famously tied the knot with Michael Jackson. Some people claimed that marriage wasn't real, but Donald Trump said it was and he should know. In 2002, she wed Nicolas Cage, and in 2006, she married music producer Michael Lockwood. She and Lockwood separated in 2016. Maybe he finally saw this music video?


8. Mariah Carey

She can't help it she looks so good in white.

Mariah Carey is a great singer and an even better bride. She might not be awesome at the actual marriage part, but she definitely knows how to rock a white dress. Her iconic wedding to Tommy Mottola in 1993 cost $500,000. She had 50 flower girls, a $25,000 Vera Wang gown and 27-foot-long train. In 2008, she married Nick Cannon, and they renewed their vows five times. After her split from Nick last year, she's about to walk down the aisle for the eighth time (third marriage) with billionaire fiancé James Packer. Hopefully, she gets married 100 more times, cause Mimi is the ultimate Bridezilla.


9. Halle Berry

Maybe Catwoman should become a cat lady?

No question, Halle Berry is gorgeous, but there is some question about her taste in husbands. The actress has a notoriously troubled love life. She's been married and divorced three times. When she got divorced this last time, two of her ex-husbands teamed up on Twitter to blame her for her latest divorce. That sounds even more painful than her acting in Catwoman.

10. Christie Brinkley

Another beauty who's bad at marriage is Christie Brinkley. The model has been married and divorced four times. Most notably to Billy Joel. Remember Uptown Girl?

She's currently dating another '80s icon, John Mellencamp, aka John Cougar Mellencamp. She not sure about another marriage, though; she said she doesn't "want to jinx it." Probably a good idea.


11. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.

Boy, do they suck at marriage.

These two are freaking terrible at marriage. They haven't even managed to marry each other ONE time! What a disgrace. They've been together for over 30 years, and have never succumbed to the pressure of getting a piece of paper to prove their love! Dang, they missed out on getting so many free toasters and blenders.

Wait a second, do they know something these other celeb couples don't?

HMMMM?

Surprisingly, Melania Trump herself may actually be the one who plagiarized that speech.

It appears that Melania Trump may personally be behind the plagiarism in her speech at the Republican National Convention Monday night. Her speech contained exact phrases and sentences from the speech that first lady Michelle Obama gave at the Democratic National Convention in 2008. While the public wondered if Melania's speechwriters were to blame, the Trump campaign denied wrongdoing and began cycling through various creative, if completely unfeasible, explanations for the similarities in both women's speeches. Now, the New York Timessays her speechwriters never saw the final version, which was written by Melania and an adviser.

Jason Miller, Trump's senior communications advisor, posted a vague statement on the Trump website that claimed that Ms. Trump's "team of writers" (the ones that she initially claimed didn't exist) "took notes on her life’s inspirations, and in some instances included fragments that reflected her own thinking." That statement addresses nothing, and as a bonus, actually makes zero sense.

On CNN, Trump's campaign chairman Paul ​Manafort said that no one would be fired over the huge error, because his feeling was the error did not exist. "To think that she would do something like that knowing how scrutinized her speech was going to be last night is just really absurd. . . There's no cribbing of Michelle Obama's speech. These were common words and values. She cares about her family. To think that she'd be cribbing Michelle Obama's words is crazy." Yes, it is crazy, and yet it's undeniably true.

Katrina Pierson, the official spokesperson for Trump's campaign, told The Hill on Tuesday that the usage of identical words was just a result of Ms. Trump and Ms. Obama having such similar values. She added, "This concept that Michelle Obama invented the English language is absurd."

We're speaking with Donald J. Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson about Melania Trump.

Posted by The Hill on Tuesday, July 19, 2016

During an interview with MSNBC, Pierson decided to attribute the copied parts of the speech to the fact that English is not Ms. Trump's first language, which is such a reach you have to wonder if she used one of those claw grabber things to get to it.

Sean Spicer, the Republican National Committee's chief strategist, told Wolf Blitzer: "Melania Trump said, 'the strength of your dreams and willingness to work for them.' Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony said, 'This is your dream. Anything you can do in your dreams, you can do now.' I mean if we want to take a bunch of phrases and run them through a Google and say, 'Hey, who else has said them,' I can do that in five minutes. And that's what this is." (Spicer is clearly not aware of software, available for free, designed to do that very thing.) He also gave the Clinton campaign credit, "because they did a really good job of taking three phrases, going out there, and matching them up."

Meanwhile, Republicans and Democrats continued to wonder how such a blunder had even been allowed to occur in the first place. Finally, the New York Times has put together a coherent account of what actually did happen. According to their sources, Donald Trump's son-in-law and advisor, Jared Kushner, hired experienced speech writers Matthew Scully and John McConnell to write a speech for Melania Trump. They did, and sent it to her last month. Ms. Trump (a former Slovenian model) didn't want to use their speech, so she set about changing it. Scully and McConnell heard the speech at the same time as the rest of the world—when Ms. Trump read it on air. By then it hardly contained any of their original speech at all, save the introduction.

The Times mentions the involvement of a woman named Meredith McIver, a ballet dancer and English major who worked on Trump’s book Think Like a Billionaire, but the extent of her involvement remains unclear. While researching the speech, she and Ms. Trump decided to review speeches other candidates' spouses had given at past conventions. That's where Michelle Obama's speech seems to come in.

On Tuesday, former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski told CNN: "Whoever signed off, the final signoff that allowed this to go forward, should be held accountable. I think if it was Paul Manafort, he would do the right thing and resign." Ms. Trump's final draft should have been checked over, so someone else really bears part of the blame (and maybe that person is Manafort) but if Ms. Trump herself wrote it, maybe she should consider resigning, too?

Beautiful weirdos of Reddit share the weirdest thing about dating them.

There's no better way to learn about a person's quirks than to start dating them. Unless, of course, they're willing to write publicly about them on the internet, like these AskReddit participant did. The question was, "What is the worst or weirdest part of dating you?" The answers reveal that there are a lot of beautiful weirdos out there looking for love. Here are 15 of the best responses.

1. domnickles knows the importance of finding humor in your everyday life, even if your everyday life involves actual dead bodies.

I'm a mortician. Doesn't sound like much but it makes A LOT of people surprisingly uncomfortable. Doesn't help that I have a dark sense of humour.

2. At least realdoor is being upfront about this.

I'm going to make some weird sexual requests.

"I'm ready."

3. It actually sounds like you'd learn a lot dating TheDunkirkSpirit. Too bad he's already taken.

Dating me is basically like dating a 60 year old man in the body of a thirty year old. Clubbing? Pass. Celebrity gossip? Keep walking, lady. WWII history trivia? I'm listening.

Somehow my wife finds this charming.

4. Dating number9muses sounds pretty educational, too.

I will play classical music all the time and explain the histories of different works

5. Let's hope the "things in the basement" SunbaneG is vaguely referring to are comic books or weird dolls and not, like, human remains.

Probably the things in the basement. #Don'tWorryAboutIt

6. Misfit_Right_In's sleeping requirements are quirky, but definitely understandable. Sleep is important!

My sleep habits.... I need two blankets one to go over me, and one to hug. It needs to be cold, pitch black, and completely silent. (no cell phone noises.... No snoring, no blinking lights from anything) I will not sleep and will become a huge bitch if these things don't happen.

7. Honestly just the way The_Secret_Gardener describes their cuddling is enough to warrant a first date.

I snore and I like to cuddle like an octopus opening a jar of sweet sweet marmalade.

8. Terra_corrupt is all of us.

You have to put up with me showing you what I found on the Internet that day, every day.

9. devanoharo won't be fooled by this elaborate AskReddit scheme.

Nice try, but I'm not revealing my secrets to you just yet, future girlfriend.

10. While it's adorable, I can see how imacs' little spoon preference might not always work out.

Idk, it's kinda rough being a 6'4" guy who prefers to be the little spoon.

11. Hey, slothzen, this sounds like a pretty ideal relationship if you ask me.

I hate going out. Netflix and chill for every date.

12. If speaking in movie quotes is weird, I don't want to be right, Mildapprehension.

Constantly speaking in poorly remember and often butchered movie and TV show quotes.

13. Am I weird for finding this hilarious and awesome? I'll hang out with you and your mean birds, Vaultbeast.

I have 5 parrots that act like trolls and pick on everyone who isn't me.

14. Some people are neat freaks when it comes to their apartments. gaidaanjai is a neat freak when it comes to your ears.

You have to let me clean the earwax out of your ears. I love getting in there with a penlight and an earpick.

Obviously the dirtier the ears are the better.

15. It actually sounds like dating _crepes_of_wrath_ could help you find yourself. I wouldn't turn down a free psychoanalysis.

Both my parents are shrinks.

I'm learned to be pretty good about holding my tongue on what I notice, but when we break up you can be sure I'll pass along a few pointers for things you need to discuss with your therapist later.

You beautiful, quirky weirdos, you. Don't worry, my friends. We'll all find love someday.

'Harry Potter' fans are more likely to see Trump as an evil, dark wizard.

According to Time, a soon-to-be published study conducted by the PS: Political Science and Politics journal found that fans of Harry Potter were less likely to vote for real life evil wizard and presidential candidate, Donald Trump.

The main reason? Readers of the Harry Potter series drew comparisons between Trump and the OG Dark Lord, Voldemort.

Yup. The resemblance is definitely there.

According to Time, the study "found that readers of the fantasy series were more inclined to dislike the Republican nominee, even after controlling for party affiliation, age, gender, education, evangelical identification and social dominance orientation."

J.K. Rowling herself has even gone so far to say that Trump is even worse than Voldemort.

Potterheads, consider this a call to action. This election is essentially America's Battle of Hogwarts.

Oh, God. Oh, ouch. Oh, no.

It's like the curtains are drawn on her eyeball.

Aub3912 added in the comments section, "I really thought i ripped my eyelid in half," so the collateral damage isn't as bad as she anticipated but still sounds like an accurate description of the pain. She also uploaded a couple more pictures of the damage to Imgur.

At some point, everyone who uses an eyelash curler has laughed off someone saying that it looks like a torture device. Well, guess who's laughing now.

This Baltimore driver learned the hard way that if you play Pokémon Go and drive, you could crash into a cop car. Fortunately, it goes a lot easier if you admit it and let the police laugh at you.

It went down like this: these cops were just hanging out, not eating donuts, probably chatting about The Wire (because that's what people talk about in Baltimore, right?).

Suddenly, a white Toyota RAV4 comes barreling through and smashes into the cop car.

How did this happen? That evil Pokémon Go! Props to the driver for being upfront.

So let this be a lesson, don't poke and drive. Better yet, just delete the app. You've got better things to do.

Trump speechwriter half-heartedly accepts responsibility for plagiarizing Melania's speech.

The proverbial buck has to stop somewhere, and in the case of Melania Trump and the Plagiarized Speech, it's with Trump speechwriter Meredith McIver. According to the Washington Times, McIver offered to resign from the campaign, but Donald Trump refused to accept her resignation, describing the plagiarism as an "innocent mistake."

McIver allegedly said,

"I apologize for the confusion and hysteria my mistake has caused. . . I did not check Mrs. Obama’s speeches. This was my mistake and I feel terrible for the chaos I have caused Melania and the Trumps, as well as to Mrs. Obama. No harm was meant."

According to McIver, Melania Trump was reading passages of Michelle Obama's 2008 speech at the Democratic National Convention to McIver over the phone during the writing process. ​McIver said she wrote fragments of the speech down, and later included them in Melania Trump's speech.

This doesn't really explain why Michelle Obama's words were used in Melania Trump's speech, unless McIver is saying she somehow forgot that the words she wrote down weren't actually her own. But whatever, this is probably as close to an explanation as anyone will get.

Hillary Clinton claps back at Chris Christie with all the receipts.

Hillary Clinton hit back at Chris Christie after his incendiary, politburo-style speech at the Republican National Convention where he encouraged a room full of Clinton's political enemies to scream "GUILTY" as he listed examples of how she "broke" the law. Her response was filled with, as Hillary would say the kids say, all the receipts...

The shade, the shade!

Hillary's tweet refers to Christie's epic "Bridgegate" scandal, where Christie's aids and appointees closed part of the George Washington Bridge to New York City, creating a traffic jam out of spite for a local New Jersey Mayor who didn't endorse Christie in his reelection bid.

The New York Timesfact checked the speech (and offered their own shade by suggesting Christie staged the Crucible-style speech out of spite for not being picked as Trump's Vice President).

Whether you agree with Christie or not, it was a fun speech to watch. Who doesn't love screaming "Treason!" "Guilty!" or "Get her!"

Kendall Jenner is officially no longer in Taylor Swift's squad.

Looks like Kendall Jenner doesn't have to worry about #squadgoals anymore, since it seems she's taken herself out of Taylor Swift's infamous girl squad over the ongoing fight between Swift and her sister Kim Kardashian West. A quick look at Jenner's "likes" on Twitter shows that she's definitely on her family's side in the whole quarrel.

Jenner liked tweets from her sisters Kim and Khloé Kardashian, some clapping emojis from Hailey Baldwin (presumably referring to the Snapchat video incriminating Taylor Swift that Kim released), and a tweet from someone with the handle @knowlougeable that reads "The kardashians/jenners literally all stand up for eachother and it's beautiful."

Jenner and Swift had been friends, even though they shared an ex-boyfriend (One Direction's Harry Styles). Swift even invited Jenner on stage with her during her 1989 tour (the album, not the year).

The two girls are not following each other on Twitter, but it's not clear that they ever were (or not recently at least). Guess "Everything Has Changed," and where Jenner once was, for Swift now there's just "Blank Space" (those are Taylor Swift songs. You're welcome).
