Today marks 18 months since I last had a drink. I’ve said before I went into this not knowing how long it would last, but honestly, at this point, I don’t think about having a drink ever. It’s something I used to do.

My issues with AI Art are not the "AI." (I still hate that we call it that). AI as a tool can be very, very useful. My problem is with those who think the AI magically makes them an artist. A similar phenomenon occurred to a lesser degree when tools like Photoshop and Illustrator became available.

Jim Banks. Not great. How did he grow in the 90s and come out with that kind of bad attitude?

Reading about alcohol and cancer in @nature.com makes me even happier I quit. I was most certainly not a “low to moderate” drinker.

When they said Make America Great Again, did they think overdraft fees were great? I really thought we all hated those. But they're back!
