“Flávio has given up,” a Bolsonaro family adviser told The Washington Post. “He’s terrified. He is worried his father will die in jail, that he himself will be jailed this week, and that he may have a long prison term ahead”

The bridge on the new GTA VI Justice song is so so so good.

This guy suffered attacks from Walter White, Kim Wexler and Jimmy McGill — the most evil criminals and accomplices in all of New Mexico — all for the crime of being a little annoying.

They should have run Winston from Overwatch for Senate in Maine. You know, the monkey.

“We don’t ride bicycles in Iowa,” Joe Mitchell said to President Trump during a GOP campaign rally. Iowa’s roughly 900,000 cyclists, many of whom have participated in an annual cycling tour that’s made the state synonymous with biking, weren’t amused.

One thing I really love about the iPhone is that the service is bad, the apps all load slowly, nothing works the way you want, the keyboard seems to constantly be getting worse and so on.

YCSE spoiler tweet: It should have been Paul Mescal

Let me share some positive news for a change: Despite all the gloomy headlines today, my understanding is that there are multiple paths actively being explored that would save Arkane Lyon. Anything can happen during negotiations, but at this point I'd be surprised if the studio is shut down.

Not even close to the whole story here, but thinking out loud: If MBS liked BioWare games this just would not have happened.

Polymarket allowed users to bet on whether any one of the 7 defendants in the Cornell rape case will be charged with a felony sex crime and the market did almost HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IN VOLUME

Thrown into a holding cell with a bunch of mean-looking hooligans and criminals but they’re just keeping to themselves and not bothering me really.

Fun Exit Interview running in ReaderGrev next week

I wrote "- job" on my to-do list today and I have no idea why? I mean, I know why but I think I should have already known by default I'm working today.

Now I get why they call this shit the "mid" terms. Where's the hot nurse? The old woman? The skeleton? Where's the big rat?

they're exploding your ass on claymore twitter right now

Heidi Levine is intrepid, brave and fiercely protective of everyone around her. She had just returned from Ukraine and was back in the West Bank, where she has been dedicated to reporting on the settlers. Heidi is beloved at The Post and among the press corps generally

this would be so scary

This will be really useful on all those ramps I've been seeing around

Polymarket is paying people to QRT its branded esports accounts on X. Players, coaches, and other prominent figures make hundreds or even thousands per month. “Literally this needs to look organic,” wrote a Polymarket rep on the Discord where this is organized. www.readergrev.com/p/polymarket...

Rockstar has repeatedly alleged that a games journalist was a member of the union Discord, posing a significant threat to the company's security. This is something we've covered in our earlier reporting, but there's some interesting context that just got brought up in the tribunal regarding timing.

So psyched to have another share from @leadergrev.bsky.social on the site today! It's always a treat to get to work with him again!

BREAKING WSJ: The Trump admin's investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe.

Rockstar is currently embroiled in a legal battle after firing 34 staff, most of whom were involved in unionization efforts. When I asked Rockstar head of publishing Jennifer Kolbe about voluntary recognition, she said: "We go where the team goes. So if they want a union, they will have a union.”

Was doing some reporting that involved lots of Twitter dms, and I briefly re-downloaded the app. Bad mistake! I think in certain subjects the level of discussion there has returned basically to normal, but the background noise of rage and engagement bait is louder than ever.

If im in the auditorium during Carrie I’m going “what the heck, that ain’t right” and affirming her experience
