French tarot is still played and is quite fun, especially when you play with five people and your partner is secret and known only to them until they reveal themselves with their play. It’s a bridge-like game where you try to win tricks and the arcana are the trump suit instead of picking one of the other four suits.
She’s displaying the behavior of an addict who has fallen off the wagon. Since she’s an addict, I’m guessing she’s back on the sauce.
Edit: from her Twitter, she now says she drinks “only on the weekends” so some classic downward spiral action. She and Elon should get together and enable each other’s drug use.
All well and good for text prompts, but MJ also lets you upload images as prompts so how are they going to recognize every image of Trump or Biden that is uploaded?
Well they better turn that feature on because last time I used MJ it happily accepted images of people who were banned in text prompts and gave me results.
In two different groups, people with bipolar disorder were four to six times more likely as people without the condition to die prematurely, the study finds....
My sister has bipolar and her health is a mess. Between the intense meds (lithium is the only thing that works for her) and the general chaos in her life, I’m pretty sure she’s going to be on the premature side of the line. She has tardive dyskinesia from meds, has already lost all her teeth, and she’s barely 50. It’s a miserable disease that is a bitch to treat effectively. I consider myself relatively lucky to only have treatment resistant depression.

Yeah I was more pointing out the ridiculousness of the GOP than trying to legitimize GWAR as serious political commentary :)
Fun fact: they’ve been doing this forever. I saw them in 92 just after Perot joined the race. They only had dummies for Clinton and Bush so they had to scramble to mock up a Perot dummy from spare parts for the show, for which they apologized beforehand. GWAR cares about quality!
Nitrogen is almost 80% of air so it’s hardly in short supply. Also why would you need medical grade? This is like alcohol swabs at the IV insertion site for lethal injection. They just don’t want the bad publicity of being associated, but it’s not going to stop anything.
It’s funny how the narrative changes when a group can actually fight back. Most of the Gen-Xers I know in tech aren’t going back to the office, not because they are ultrawealthy but because they are getting old, are virtually irreplaceable, and are prioritizing life over work after having survived the pandemic....
We had to learn altruism to survive the neglect, so our parents accidentally trained us not to pull up the ladder like the Boomers. Lord of the Flies debunked.
To be honest the neglect was better than when they did pay attention, for all we complain about it. No parenting was better than shitty parenting.
