Twitter Rolls Out New Feature; Allows Employees to Work from Home Indefinitely

Just days after announcing their "heat of the moment" moderation tool, Twitter is rolling out a new retweet feature. The update will show how many people have retweeted a tweet with an additional comment. The company has, however, announced that the feature is only available to iOS users, with plans to have it on the Android software and web app soon.
Furthermore, the micro-blogging platform will also let employees work from home indefinitely if they so wish.  "If our employees are in a role and situation that enables them to work from home and they want to continue to do so forever, we will make that happen," partly read the statement. Netizens have welcomed this move globally, urging other corporates to adopt the policy.

Charity Organization Rejects 6ix9ine's $200K Donation

Tekashi 6ix9ine announced on Tuesday that he had made a $200,000 donation to "No Kid Hungry", a children's charity organization. No sooner had the announcement been made than the organization's representatives rejected the money saying, "We are grateful for Mr. Hernandez's generous offer to donate to No Kid Hungry but we have informed his representatives that we have declined this donation. As a child-focused campaign, it is our policy to decline funding from donors whose activities do not align with our mission and values."
In response, the rainbow-haired rapper blasted the organization in a now-deleted Instagram post which read, "@nokidhungry would rather take food out of the mouth of innocent children. I have never seen something so cruel."
"No Kid Hungry" did not specify the said "activities". The internet however speculated it was due to his (past) involvement with the notorious criminal Nine Trey Bloods gang, which got him incarcerated for two years.

'Dave FX' Renewed for Season 2

FX networks has announced that rapper Lil Dicky's "Dave" comedy series has been renewed for a second season, which will premiere in 2021. The breakout hit series has also become the network's most popular show, edging out Donald Glover's "Atlanta".
"Dave", co-created by Jeff Schaffer and Lil Dicky, stars the latter as a neurotic mid 20's suburbanite who is convinced that he is destined to be one of the greatest rappers ever. The task now is proving it to everyone else.
