  • According to the new statement from Midnight Society, the studio’s leadership became aware of the allegations for the first time on June 21 shortly after Conners’ tweets went viral on Twitter, and began its own investigation into the situation. “We assumed his innocence and began speaking with parties involved,” the company wrote.

    They heard the allegation, looked into if it was true and how true it is, and found a reason to sever a major figure from the roster. That’s not a “it’s just an allegation” - that’s a third party investigating a potential child predator and not liking what they found.






  • Heyo, national economies need to run at a deficit. The amount of debt needs to be maintained but running a negative is a good thing because the interest payments become stable capital injection. These regular, anticipated payments build the confidence of very conservative money managers to spend their own money. It’s trickle down but in a way that helps increase the likelihood of money being spent, which is basically the GDP. And the speed of people spending money in the system is a metric that central banks use to set interest rates.

    It’s all connected and that’s why running a deficit, a (relatively) small one, is a good thing. Nations don’t use checkbook accounting.

    I had no idea we had a cricket team, but I am not surprised that there is. What surprises me is that l, while I don’t know a lot about cricket, I do know that Pakistan is world class and fucking good - and they lost to Americans who don’t even have a national team.

    It’s clearly a big deal and one worth celebrating. Maybe this will help cricket bloom in America?
