Fresh off the announcement of Jack Dorseyreclaiming his CEO throne and the increasingly probable rumor that the 140-character tweet limit might soon be abandoned, Twitter has launched a new feature called Moments. With Moments, users can get a quick but entirely immersive look at the best of what's happening on Twitter at any given time. "We know finding these only-on-Twitter moments can be a challenge," Twitter said in a statement announcing the new tab, "especially if you haven't followed certain accounts. Moments helps you find the best of Twitter as easily as tapping an icon, regardless of who you follow."

Complex has partnered with Twitter to become an exclusive Moments Curator, meaning you'll get the best of Twitter through the unique eyes of Complex with just a few taps of the thumb or other finger (or general appendage) of your choice. For a proper test drive, let's dive into this damn-near-god-level Kanye West Moment:
