@Denial if they arent recognized in mainstream press we dont consider them a celebrity usually

@strutheo there’s lots of reports for Alejandra Darin (for example) in the main press, just not in the US. Tommy Brown is reported in the NYT. Might not be strictly “celebrities” but they are public figures. If it doesn’t count then it’s poorly worded!

Does this count as a celebrity sex scandal? https://apnews.com/article/australia-neil-gaiman-sexual-assault-allegations-e25ce1b1fa8328c25b67b52477f8ef8d

@strutheo why N/A? Harris received electoral votes this time and she is clearly "someone other than Joe Biden or Donald Trump".

@VonGadke Yeah, I had a brain fart and bet the wrong way on this, but I think it should probably count.

i think it confused multiple ppl and only a few bet so i just naed

We've had 3 posts to web3isgoinggreat this month, with the first on the 7th. Over the past year (I counted manually but I'm pretty sure this is approximately correct):

December 2024: 12, first on the 1st

November 2024: 9, first on the 3rd

October 2024: 11, first on the 4th

September 2024: 28, first on the 3rd

August 2024: 21, first on the 1st

July 2024: 19, first on the 1st

June 2024: 23, first on the 2nd

May 2024: 18, first on the 3rd

April 2024: 27 first on the 1st

March 2024: 32, first on the 1st

February 2024: 30, first on the 1st

January 2024: 36, first on the 2nd

Considering the decrease in post frequency over the past three months and the delay to first post, I think it's going to be a slow month.

I better get a huge payout considering nobody on the PGA tour goes by the name "iger Woods"
