Los Angeles-based rapper Glasses Malone told Kevin Durant to relax on Twitter, which KD took exception to and fired back. There is definitely no other player like Kevin Durant. Being 6-foot-10, Durant can handle the ball like a guard, shoot the ball like a two-guard and even rebound and block like a center. There is very little this future Hall-Of-Famer can’t do. Despite his on-court success, KD will continue to keep up with his social media antics. Being in his 14th year as a pro, Durant still continues to get into little fiascos on Twitter. This time, the Brooklyn Nets All-Star had an exchange with a rapper. The 2-time NBA champion fired back at the Malone, making it clear that when he was on the social networking platform, there is no relaxing for him. The 32-year-old expressed himself: “There’s No relax champ. No relax when I’m on Twitter. I’m on 10 until the second I close the app. You relax!!” relax big dawg….. your kevin durant life is too sweet! https://t.co/Fv5Ozl8QnG — Glasses Malone (@gmalone) March 23, 2021 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js There’s No relax champ.

Surrey developer Bob Cheema claims Surrey businessman Brian Young defamed him on social media A politically active Surrey developer who has been subject to allegations of corruption on social media can have his day in court, a BC Supreme Court judge ruled last Wednesday. Developer Bob Cheema’s defamation lawsuit against Surrey resident Brian Young can proceed, ruled Justice Heather MacNaughton, after Young applied for its dismissal by claiming Cheema was limiting his freedom of expression. The case centres around two political allies of Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum during the October 2018 election. Young and Cheema were both helping McCallum get elected but things went sour thereafter and Young began criticizing McCallum on Twitter, including allegations that Cheema held power over the mayor, particularly with respect to the city’s police force transition. MacNaughton had to weigh the public’s interest as to whether Young’s freedom of expression outweighed Cheema’s right to protect his reputation. MacNaughton’s ruling states there are reasonable grounds for Cheema to proceed with a trial.  “I am satisfied that Mr. Cheema has established, on a balance of probabilities, that the harm he has suffered or is likely to suffer as a result of Mr. Young’s expression is sufficiently serious…

It was a weekend in mid-March, but the Saturday crowd wasn’t there for services; it was hundreds of hopeful West Virginians trying their luck for an unclaimed dose of vaccine. Earlier that afternoon, Jamie Miller had gotten a text from a friend who knew somebody working at the vaccination event in Putnam County. She was told that the parking-lot clinic had an abundance of unclaimed doses. So the Charleston-based artist took to Twitter and Facebook to spread the news. “Giving to anyone, not just 50 and over! Get there if ya need it and pass along to folks who are close,” Miller wrote. West Virginians responded. People piled into cars with hopes of snagging a coveted dose, while others placed calls to neighbors, parents and grandparents, hoping to get their loved ones a step closer to safety. It was the work of an old-fashioned gossip chain with the power of the internet’s reach. In less than an hour, the extra doses…
