Paige was going along her business with her fans on Twitch. They were discussing horror movies and having a great time. Then the first-ever NXT Women’s Champion got a message on her phone that changed the mood.We’re not certain what Paige read on her phone, but it caused her to speak about possibly leaving the platform. She could have read a report about other Superstars leaving Twitch, or she received a message herself from someone telling her to stop. Either way, she broke down and started getting very emotional after that.“You guys. We have to make this — You guys. There may be a time where I have to stop streaming. So, I think just in case I walk away, I have to walk away, let’s make these next two streams crazy …. I have to go off. If I have to leave, we have to make today and Saturday f*cking crazy before I have to leave. Because it might have to come to that.”She started texting someone on her phone again. Then she came back and continued to address the situation. She said that she can’t deal with “this company anymore.” She broke her neck twice and has built a wonderful community on Twitch. Since Vince McMahon isn’t making money on that it must end.“I’ve honestly got to the point I cannot deal with this company anymore … So now I have to make a very important decision … I’m f*cking tired, man. I broke my f*cking neck twice — twice — for this company. Over f*cking worked. I broke my f*cking neck twice for this company … All I wanted was to — they don’t realize that this community isn’t just about f*cking subs. It isn’t about that. We built a wonderful community, a wonderful f*cking family…

He also bragged to The Argus about how he went from zero to six hundred LinkedIn connections in a month. This social media star is a government and economics double major and applied data analysis minor who can be found playing Frisbee, recording the Arcadia Political Review’s podcast, or losing a game of chess. Despite his many accolades, Willis was initially apprehensive about sitting down with The Argus due to an underlying fear that this interview is a prank. We can assure you this is not a prank and that Willis thoroughly deserves his WesCeleb nomination.  The Argus: First of all, Gavin, can you tell us why you think you were nominated to be a WesCeleb? Gavin Willis: Because my friends are trying to prank me. A: Can you talk about what you do on campus? GW: See, I knew these questions were going to be asked but I didn’t prepare. I just came right in. I play ultimate Frisbee on the co-ed team. I’m the party captain on that. Not this semester as much, but I did go to Wesleyan ACLU. I’m in TEDx Wesleyan; go to the event next semester! What else do I do? I go to class! A: You’re a government and economics major and data analysis minor, how do you like gov and econ?  GW: It’s fantastic. A: What are some of your favorite classes and professors? GW: Professor Erika Franklin Fowler. She’s a complete badass. I would die for her. On the record. Basically, for all my gov classes, I took media classes, like Media and Politics, Polarized Communications. And then I…

If I have to leave, we have to make today and Saturday fucking crazy. I’ve honestly gotten to the point where I cannot deal with this company anymore. Now I have to make a very important decision. I’m fucking tired, man. I broke my fucking neck twice, twice for this company. Over fucking worked. I broke my fucking neck twice for this company.

I was worked so hard in WWE that I can’t wrestle anymore because my neck is fucked. My whole dreams got taken away. I had to have something that fulfilled that huge fucking void that I lost with wrestling. I couldn’t wrestle anymore, something I lived and breathed since I was a fetus, and it got ripped away from me. I had to find something that I could fill a little bit of that and Twitch was a wonderful thing for me. It’s such a wonderful place for me,”She continued speaking on how she’s an injured wrestler,…

Rockdale County is refinancing debt related to the water and sewerage system to create savings for the county. Rockdale County’s Water and Sewerage Revenue Bonds Series 2020 was assigned the Aa2 rating by the Moody’s Rating Agency, the county announced today (Oct. 29). This is a favorable rating for a first-time water and sewerage bond presented by the County. The Moody’s Agency Report states: Rockdale County’s Water and Sewerage (Aa2) credit profile incorporates the strong financial and operating trends such as a healthy liquidity position and adequate debt service coverage ratios, which are supported by regular rate increases and long-range financial planning. The credit profile also reflects the authority’s ample supply and treatment capacity, mostly residential customer base with slightly below average wealth levels, rate setting flexibility and manageable debt burden. Satisfactory legal protections include a closed-loop flow of funds and 125% additional bonds test and rate covenant. The credit strengths highlighted in the report – ample reserves and liquidity, manageable debt burden, strong rate setting policies and covenants – resulted in guaranteed debt being taken off the County backing by bonds, officials said. The county issued new bonds to pay off older, higher-interest bonds resulting in a savings of $2.8 million, officials said. “This is a big day for Rockdale County and our residents,” said Rockdale Board of Commissioners’ Chairman Oz Nesbitt, Sr. s “These savings are due to the hard work of the County executive staff and the support of the Board of Commissioners.” For more information, the on-demand recording of the Called Meeting for the Water and Sewerage Revenue Bond can be viewed at the Rockdale County Facebook Page at facebook.com/rockdalegov or on Vimeo at vimeo.com/rockdalegov.

(Photo by ROBERTO SCHMIDT / AFP) (Photo by ROBERTO SCHMIDT/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images With only five days until election day, Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s campaign slammed Facebook Thursday evening for pausing thousands of its ads amid new a policy from the platform that limits new political advertising leading up to Nov. 3. “For more than a year, our campaign has engaged with Facebook in good faith to both better understand their shifting policies around elections and to push for equal and measurable enforcement of those rules,” Biden’s digital director Rob Flaherty said in a statement. “Once again, just five days before Election Day, they have failed to meet the moment.” Flaherty went on to suggest Facebook, a home for conservative media, may be unduly favoring President Trump, an allegation the company denied in a blog post published on Thursday. In a response to criticism that politicians could use Facebook to sway elections and distribute misinformation, the company said in September it wouldn’t accept new political ads after Oct. 26 and would pause all ads for a time after polls close. But as the deadline drew near, Facebook says Democrats and Republicans alike were confused about the new guidelines. “We provided the same instructions to everyone, and found advertisers across the political spectrum and both Presidential campaigns were confused by our guidance and had ads paused as a result. We have worked throughout this election to maintain a neutral playing field and that remains true in the face of these problems,” Facebook said in its blog post. Flaherty estimated that Biden had lost $500,000 in potential fundraising from the Facebook ad freeze.…

YouTube superstar FaZe Rug stars with members of FaZe (the professional esports and entertainment organization) in the new horror film “Crimson,” directed by “Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension” director Gregory Plotkin. The film, which is streaming starting Thursday at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET only on Inviz.tv, follows FaZe Rug who plays himself moving into a multi-million dollar home (his own) after his success as an influencer. What begins as a typical YouTube vlog highlighting his new house turns into a horror movie — thanks to his neighbors. Plotkin and FaZe Rug talk about making the film during the pandemic and FaZe Rug’s experience moving from YouTube to feature film. Can you share how you were approached to be in “Crimson” and to star in a horror movie? FazE Rug: My manager came to me one day and asked if I wanted to be in a scary movie, and it was a no brainer because I love scary stuff. I loved making scary videos on my YouTube channel, so I said yes without even hesitating. A few months after I had agreed to do it, I found out that Greg was going to direct it, and thought, ‘This is going to be a hit.’ Greg, how did you get involved to do this and what was it about “Crimson” that stood out for you? Gregory Plotkin: It was one of those unique opportunities where during the pandemic, the town had shut down. I’ve edited films and directed and this came up. I have two kids who are massive fans of his and he has this amazing outreach. My kids would tell me intimate things about him as if they knew him. I thought it was a great way to try something new and to work with new talent.…

Twitter on Thursday labeled a tweet from Russian state media outlet RT (formerly Russia Today) that included a video implying widespread voter fraud is plaguing, and potentially delegitimizing, the U.S. election.Why it matters: It's the first time Twitter has labeled RT's account with a civic integrity label, or a designation used to highlight efforts to manipulate or interfere in elections or other civic processes.What they're saying: "We placed a label on the Tweet you referenced for making potentially misleading claims that could undermine confidence in the election, and to offer more context for anyone who may see the Tweet," a Twitter spokesperson said. "This action is in line with our updated Civic Integrity Policy."Earlier this month, Twitter said it would expand the number of labels it put on tweets to help curb the spread of misinformation surrounding the U.S. election. The big picture: Intelligence officials have warned that Russia is meddling in the U.S. election, and using strategic disinformation campaigns as a weapon to do so. On Thursday, former Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats told CBS News' Norah O'Donnell that the intelligence community has "full confidence that the Russians are going after our elections," despite the fact that President Trump has disputed that claim.Be smart: Russia will often deploy disinformation using its state-backed media accounts, with hopes that other domestic media outlets will pick it up. Twitter began labeling state-affiliated media accounts in August, which is why the RT account also features a label that says it's "Russia state-affiliated media."The marked tweet, featured below, cannot be shared or commented on.

Rapper Lil Wayne made a big splash on Twitter after he revealed that he met with President Trump, sharing a friendly photo the two of them took together. "Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump @potus besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done," Lil Wayne said. The Platnum Plan is an economic plan rolled out by the Trump campaign aiming to help Black Americans. 50 CENT DOUBLES DOWN ON OPPOSITION TO JOE BIDEN'S TAX PLAN: 'I DON'T WANT TO BE 20CENT'Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., also posted a photo of himself with the president from the meeting that took place on Thursday in Miami, giving a thumbs up to the camera.The tweet sparked praise among conservatives and condemnation from liberals. "There is a difference between pandering and supporting. Democrats say you're not black enough (or gay enough, Muslim enough, female enough) if you support Republicans. They expect the vote.@realDonaldTrump and Republicans won't pander here. That's why there have been in-roads," radio host Jason Rantz tweeted. ICE CUBE DEFENDS WORKING WITH TRUMP CAMPAIGN ON 'PLATINUM PLAN' FOR BLACK AMERICANS"It’s sickening how Lil Wayne and so many rappers I grew up with are selling out to white supremacy," author Frederick Joseph wrote. "All the rappers that have endorsed Trump should start a pac and call it 2 PAC," the Daily Caller's Greg Price quipped. "If you think Donald Trump cares about the Black community beyond their votes next week, you are deluding yourself -- and doing a con man's job for him," Perez Hilton reacted.The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment, Trump Campaign Communications Director Tim Murtaugh tweeted "This is a BIG deal."It…
