He drew a bases-loaded walk to beat San Diego on June 20.“You definitely want to be aggressive,” Pederson said. “The pressure’s on the pitcher.

Elon Musk reactiva la cuenta de Twitter de Kanye West tras el cambio de marca a X

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:07:00 GMT

(CNN) — X, antes conocida como Twitter, reinstauró la cuenta de Kanye West en la plataforma de redes sociales. West no podrá monetizar su cuenta y no aparecerán anuncios junto a sus publicaciones, según informó la empresa a The Wall Street Journal este sábado.La cuenta del músico fue suspendida en diciembre por violar las normas de la plataforma sobre incitación a la violencia.
