US pol, schadenfreude 

So two election workers sued Rudy Giuliani for $24 million each for defamation and received a verdict ordering him to pay them $150 million just now.

You love to see it.

My personal opinion:

The point of the Fediverse is not to get FediFamous, it's to curate your own social media experience so you only have to deal with the people you want to deal with, under the rules you want to follow. "Reach" isn't an important metric, and outside of very limited communities, "influencer" isn't really a thing here. That, more than anything else, is why corpo social media like Meta will always fail here -- the people who are doing Fedi right are immune to them.

@daisy55 - For a second there, I thought you meant the Voyager Golden Disk. Cause that works, too! XD

@daisy55 - They're a set of five, each with a different shape (and two normal CDs). I actually got lucky - they were only sold for a very short time in 2002, and I couldn't afford it.

About two years later, I randomly poked the guy selling them and he sold me a set at the same price from two years earlier. I wasn't expecting such a low number, too!

I always have the urge, when misgendered, too reply with "That's Ma'am. I didn't spend eight years in Woman College to be called 'Sir!'"

Remember when I said I worked on Third Party Half-Life stuff before release date? Lookie what I found in the archive. The discs passed around our company to create deathmatch levels....

I didn't realize it was like ten days before release date. But it was before the release date! :)
