You’ve probably seen players, talent, and roster reporters QRT posts like this. They’re making hundreds or even thousands a month doing it. “Literally this needs to look organic,” wrote a Polymarket rep in the Discord where this is all organized. So I wrote about it…

Independent socialist @brittanyforri, who is running for the R.I. General Assembly, is the only candidate in the state endorsed by Rhode Island DSA or national DSA @ryangrim
Replying to @briebriejoy
It’s 2026. You’re talking about a small online debate from 2020 with a guest who just wants to talk about the U.S. role in the genocide of communists in Indonesia, or the current DSA-backed effort to win the mayor’s race in Providence. It comes off as bizarre. Every 2 years, for hundreds of years, members of Congress try to extract concessions from speaker candidates in exchange for their votes. It would be far more productive to talk about the opportunity coming up in late 2026/early 2027 than to keep talking about this one from 6 years ago.

Those as excited I am for the @nycDSA slate's sweep tonight should make sure not to look at this generational run with envy, but to figure out how to replicate this massive effort in your own area over the next 4-8 years... More mass politics for the workers who deserve it ALL!

NATIONAL ENDORSEMENT! This is a big step for DSA, working directly towards a completely separate party. My friend Brittany is going to win as an independent, working outside of the Dem party machine of influence that continues to keep progressives towing their backwards line!
We are excited to endorse Brittany Kubicek for Rhode Island General Assembly! A vocal DSA member, she is running to represent Providence as an independent socialist against an incumbent establishment democrat. Her explicitly socialist platform includes a $30 minimum wage, statewide rent-freeze, and public takeover of RI’s energy companies.

The violence used by NYPD officers in this video is extremely disturbing and unacceptable. Officers should never treat a person this way. The NYPD is conducting a full investigation into this incident.
This incident was captured by Sinistratm on Instagram and took place April 14, 2026 in Brooklyn at a liquor store on Hoyt and Baltic street. Brooklyn North Narcotics attempt to arrest a suspect who resists arrest when chaos ensues. What do you all think about this incident?

CRAZY to me that the conversation in the comments is "well duh they are losing, obviously its more likely they have a transgression". People really trying to hold onto their toxicity in ranked, why its a broken system. The ugly truth is it's an inherently anti-social system
asked the analytics team to look into the most basic version of this, which is "if only one team had 1+ chat transgressions in a game, which team won?" for all ranked games in 2025, you had a 22% winrate if your team had a chat transgression and their team didn't.

It's the time of the year again where organizers are going to be hiring casters for 2026. Especially now after Doug's retirement. If you are reached out to with an offer to work the Americas broadcast or another show, hit me up, I would love to chat before the year kicks off.

Probably the last time I'll post here, miss y'all! Check out this interview with @LeaderGrev on everything surrounding leaving esports! He did a great job asking some good questions! Also reach out if you wanna talk, I'm still around just not really ever on twitter.

NEW: I interviewed @Ballatw about his decision to quit esports. Conversation also took an unexpected turn toward video game addiction, and I’m glad it did. readergrev.com/p/exit-interv…
