During the latest episode of “The Kardashians,” Kourtney Kardashian recalled that Kanye West had told her to wait to have sex until marriage before she began dating Travis Barker. She said, “I feel like God is calling me to tell you that you should not hook up with any randoms until you are with your husband,” and added that she did not follow the advice. Kardashian and Barker, who began dating in early 2021, had multiple wedding ceremonies in 2022 and welcomed their son Rocky in 2023.

A software‑only, tethered jailbreak for the Nintendo Switch 2 has been released, allowing users to run arbitrary native code on any system with the latest firmware. The exploit requires a specific original Switch game to boot the system, and it uses a 32‑bit integer overflow bug in that game’s array handling to gain code execution. The jailbreak lets users mod games, run homebrew software, back up save files, and access most peripherals. In a demonstration, the developer added characters such as Peter Griffin and Hatsune Miku to Mario Kart World. Nintendo is expected to remove the required game from the eShop and patch the vulnerability soon. The discovery was aided by AI tools such as OpenAI Codex.

The 2026 World Series will pit the Milwaukee Brewers against the Tampa Bay Rays, both of whom have never won a championship. The Brewers entered the postseason after a franchise‑record 103‑win season, while the Rays finished with 98 victories, the most in the American League. Despite their success, the Brewers rank 19th in payroll and play in the sport’s smallest metro market, whereas the Rays are 28th in payroll. The matchup, featuring the best teams from each league, is one of only six times in the wild‑card era that the top‑winning teams have faced off in the World Series. The winner will become the first champion for their franchise, reducing the list of teams without a title from five to four. The series promises to be a classic showdown between two modern powerhouses.

In a Wednesday night debate, Kansas Senate candidates Roger Marshall (R) and Adam Hamilton (D) clashed over President Donald Trump, immigration, Iran, transgender athletes, artificial intelligence, and personal controversies. Marshall was questioned about a New York Times review that found his former medical practice sued more than 700 patients over unpaid bills; he defended the practice’s charitable giving and business expenses. Hamilton faced questions about a volunteer at his church’s summer camp who was accused of sexual abuse; he admitted he should have prevented the individual from returning to the camp. Trump appeared via footage from a recent campaign event, prompting Marshall to say he does not always agree with the president’s agenda. The debate, held less than two weeks before Election Day, underscored the national attention on the race, with Trump traveling to Kansas earlier in the week to campaign for Marshall. The discussion set the stage for a highly contested Senate contest in a state that has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1932.

Meta Platforms has struck a deal with Mark Zuckerberg to keep him living in California, even if the state passes a one‑off billionaire wealth tax. Under the agreement, Zuckerberg will receive new shares that could be sold to cover a potential multibillion‑dollar tax bill. In return, he commits to remain a resident of the state or wherever Meta maintains its base for eight years. The arrangement follows California’s Proposition 40, a 5% tax on roughly two‑hundred‑fifty billionaires, which voters will decide early next month. Meta also reported a twenty‑six percent rise in revenues to sixty‑four point six billion dollars, while profits fell by thirty‑seven percent to thirteen billion dollars due to a nine point nine billion dollar charge related to a lawsuit over child protection and social media addiction.
