Leandro Ruschel stated that a reporter from Veja considered that the attention given to the recording published by the magazine would be diverting focus from more serious allegations based on messages found on Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone. According to Ruschel, the reporter said that messages from 2024 and 2025 would indicate a collusion with executives from the pension funds of Banco do Brasil, Caixa, Petrobras, and Correios to raise R$ 10 billion, of which R$ 1 billion would be destined to the PT as a bribe. The account also mentioned more than 450 messages with an operator linked to the office of Minister Alexandre Padilha. Ruschel said that, according to the report, Banco Master entered in May 2024 a government list that would allow it to receive investments from the funds, despite having low credit ratings and being under investigation for fraud. During the same period, the bank reportedly negotiated R$ 500 million in credit letters with Caixa; the operation retreated after O Globo reported, in July 2024, the removal of two managers who had issued a negative opinion. The report also claimed that Padilha had said, in a meeting at the Palácio do Planalto, that agreements made with Olavo Noleto would count as agreements with the minister himself, and that, after dinner at Vorcaro's house in October 2024, the banker received a message saying that Lula would meet him and had liked the conversation. According to Ruschel, the reporter stated that Lula received Vorcaro in December and that messages from lawyer Walfrido Warde suggested pressure on the Central Bank to save Master. He added that Vorcaro would have presented the account to the Attorney General's Office (PGR), which had refused to receive the material, and that there would be evidence involving PGR members who had contact with the defense. Ruschel said that the reporter argued that Vorcaro should be heard and warned of the risk of diverting workers' resources to save the bank. #Corrupção #Política #Justiça (translated)

Micti said that she had been surviving for 16 days and that she had completed two dungeons and overcome ten revival moments, Limbo, Gleba, the Warden, ancient and new dinosaurs, and Phora Cubes, without dying. She added that her first totem had been activated in the second dungeon. She also pointed out that she continued to read that people considered her to be unskilled in the wbns because, according to her, those people were still anchored in 2021. She said that her version from that year wouldn't have even left the base. #gaming #dungeons #sobrevivencia (translated)

Pri wrote that, in June 2025, lawyer Walfrido Warde sent Daniel Vorcaro a photo of the empty chair reserved for the banker at the ceremony where Lula received the title of Doctor Honoris Causa from the University of Paris. According to her, Vorcaro had a reserved seat at the event. https://t.co/Xbq4cqGSKy #Lula #HonorisCausa #Universidade (translated)

Deltan Dallagnol wrote that, according to Metrópoles, the Federal Police found a photo on banker Vorcaro's cell phone of a reserved seat in his name for the ceremony in which Lula received the title of Doctor Honoris Causa in June 2025. The image is said to have been sent by lawyer Walfrido Warde. Dallagnol stated that the conversations indicated that Vorcaro did not attend the event. However, before the ceremony, Warde allegedly suggested that he meet the "man" in Brasília and said that Lula would see him there; according to the author, investigators understood the reference to be to the president. Dallagnol questioned what kind of access Vorcaro might have had, who would have mediated the contact, and what interests might have been discussed. He also asked readers to share their opinions. #Lula #Política #Brasil (translated)

TeAtualizei stated that the revelation of LulaMaster did not surprise him and, in his assessment, completed the picture formed by messages attributed to Vorcaro and lawyer Walfrido Warde. According to the author, both were eager to provide Lula with a solution for the Master, and there were favors to be claimed. The author also reproduced a statement in which a person claimed to believe that they had invested even more money in Lula's film, but that the support had been made irregularly and under the table. In the same statement, the person differentiated this case from Flávio's film, whose funding was said to have occurred as normal sponsorship. #Lula #Politica #Corrupção (translated)

IaraGB wrote that, according to a report by Daniel Vorcaro to VEJA, the former treasurer of the PT, João Vaccari Neto, allegedly demanded around R$ 30 million in cash, off the books, for Banco Master to enter the pension funds of federal employees Banco do Brasil, Caixa Asset, and Previ. The amount, according to the publication, was said to be intended for the Lula Institute, led by Paulo Okamotto, to finance a documentary about Lula abroad, directed by Oliver Stone and featuring testimonies from allies like Walfrido Warde. Vorcaro also allegedly reported the payment of another undisclosed amount directly to the institute. The author stated that, according to the banker’s account, the approach was made by Augusto Lima, then a partner and CEO of Master, and Jaques Wagner allegedly mediated the meeting with Vaccari. The allegation was said to have been presented to the PGR in June, in the second testimony, but was filed away due to lack of evidence, as the payment was said to have been made in cash. According to the publication, the defense mentioned WhatsApp messages, names of people who allegedly picked up the money, and delivery routes. #Lula #Corrupção #Política (translated)

He claimed that they are punished at most a few times with suspended sentences, and sometimes not at all, while Wardęga was supposed to be severely punished because the case attracts attention. He expressed anger and added that fuel costs 8 zł. #Polska #sprawiedliwość #problemysocjalne (translated)

RebsGaming talked a bit about the future of Halo in the hands of Activision. The initial proposal included a Free to Play multiplayer and a campaign mode. Sledgehammer Games would have prototyped basic gameplay mechanics in the Infinity Ward engine. However, Activision has ruled out dividing the project into parts and is now betting on a complete game. The idea would be to develop a total reboot with an origin story for Master Chief. #Halo #Activision #Videojuegos (translated)

Why has Reinaldo Azevedo not yet responded whether he had a contract with Vorcaro and if Walfrido Warde (the same one who organized the Vorcar-Lula meeting) offered the services of the "journalist" (prostitute) to Daniel Vorcaro to defend the banker in front of public opinion? The dialogues are out there circulating... only that UOL, CNN, and Metropoles have refused to publish them to protect the colleague. I continue to await a statement from Mr. Garrisson and also now for the mentioned outlets to refute me or explain why they are so passionately protecting Reinaldo. #jornalismo #política #transparência (translated)

"Keskinkertainen opettaja kertoo. Hyvä opettaja selittää. Erinomainen opettaja näyttää. Suuri opettaja inspiroi." - amerikkalainen kirjailija William Arthur Ward Lapsi, jota on inspiroitu, ei lakkaa ihmettelemästä aikuisenakaan. Tatianan taso on lähes kaikille tavoittamattomissa, mutta koska niin monella meistä on pysyvä muistijälki inspiroivista opettajista, tätä hengenlahjaa voi varjella ja kasvattaa myös tänä päivänä. Pitäisi suosia henkevöityneitä ja hillitä hengettömien ankeutusta. #opettajat #inspiraatio #kasvatus
