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.

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!'"

Suddenly craving Chicken and Waffles. The maple syrup Southern kind. Damn you, Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles, why are you so far away?!

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! :)

Giving the house a deep and thorough cleaning these last few weeks. Between the time in Texas, the pinched nerve, and other craziness going on, I hadn't really cleaned house since about August.
Still about thirty loads of dishes to do. And the bathrooms. But that can wait until tomorrow.

ESPECIALLY the bathrooms....

...but only a little.

Awww. the Blu Rays of the first episode of Doctor Who's The Chase cut the Beatles scene out of it, I'm guessing for rights reasons. Thankfully I still have my old VHS capture of it that has it in there, but it's sad it was cut out.
