For @BritishGQ, I spoke to elite Mario Kart World players about the wild, joyous, and sometimes painful race for world records after release day. A real joy getting to know this community. Thanks to @Alberto_MK8, @SKaR__MK, @vnt__x and others https://t.co/Zayq1ZaMlR

While most Mario Kart World players goof around as a cartoon Cow, a handful of elite drivers are locked in a viral race for the fastest track times. Eat your heart out, Lando Norris…

How my investigation led to sex trafficking charges against Mike Jeffries, ex-CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch. Piecing together my own trail, I found brave men, faced hackings, accusations of being a “spy”, and confronted a middleman desperate for a deal👇🏽

When I first began investigating in January 2021, I never imagined that what I would find would lead to powerful men being charged with running an international sex trafficking business. All I can think about are my sources - the brave men - who trusted me and have now been heard

I guess I can change my X bio now 😅 Many people made this investigation possible so whilst there are 4 names on the plaque, the win represents collective efforts which went beyond the published stories. Thank you @HumanTraffFdn 🙏🏾 @Mellino @hajmedd @cboutaud & @MattChapmanUK 👏🏾

Here's my review of Shadows of Doubt. Had a rough time with the review version unfortunately, but I still think this game is utter magic when everything comes together.

📺 New out today - and something a bit different! Earlier this year, new medication for alopecia was made available on the NHS. I go on a journey to meet those keen to try the new drug, those who aren’t and those who think it could be life-changing. https://t.co/gCNyA5TNQo

I spoke to Anna Ardin, one of the two women who accused Julian Assange of sexual assault in 2010. She told me she was sincerely happy he'd been freed and reunited with his family, but bitterly disappointed he never faced trial for the alleged assault. https://t.co/MJmHrsvFLb

Back to a semi-normal routine here, which means I'm finally back on our What to Play series after a bit of a pause. I love pulling this together - terrible month for blockbusters ahead, Hellblade 2 aside, but a potentially extraordinary one for indies:
