      No one can accuse Kanye West of not keeping busy, which explains why you can’t click on “Moments” on Twitter without seeing his face.

      There’s the philosophy book, Break the Simulation, he’s writing in real time. Translation: he’s evidently going to reprint his Tweets in a hardcover format, at which point you’ll pay $39.66 for such deep thoughts as:

      There’s been his railing on about how digital photography is stealing the souls, creativity, and what's left of the 17-second attention spans of everyone on the planet. (Click here). 

      And there’s the tireless promotion of his Yeezy Season fashion line (photographs of which are no doubt further contributing to the downfall of civilization as we know it.)

      This hour's Kanye West Moments Twitter news is that the multi-tasking mogul is about to release not just one, but two full-lengths.

      The first will be his eighth solo record—and first since 2016’s Life of Pablo. Evidently having too much on his plate to go the triple-album Sandanista route, said release will only have seven songs.

      A week later those who’ve burned themselves out on West's sprawling new solo record can tuck into a full-length from Kids See Ghost, a band that Mr. Kim Kardashian has formed with Kid Cudi.

      Little is known about either record, other than they'll hit the streets May 25 and June 2 respectively. But as sure as there’s seemingly little else of interest in the world for Twitter to report on, look forward to minute-to-minute updates on both, as well as what Kanye West just had for lunch, in Moments.
