  • I had a horror/comedy dream last night. It was pretty funny in hindsigt, so here it goes:

    I am in my office at work, and I get a really important call regarding a case I’ve been working on (in real life) for a while. So I already know exactly what I want to say, but to my surprise my throat is so sore that I can hardly speak.

    Every time I open my mouth I just either yell loudly or whistle silently. I only manage to say a few syllables in each breath.

    This goes on for quite some time in which I barely manage to explain my unfortunate situation and that it’s important that they hear me out. The call repeatedly gets cut off and starts over, forcing me to go through the whole thing several times much to my frustration, before I realize that I’ve actually just been snoring in my sleep and wake up.






  • Sleep doesn’t work like a health bar in a video game.

    Different stages of sleep have different efficiencies. For instance, passing out drunk doesn’t count as sleep. You body is still active in digestion which can prevent a good sleep, or intoxication can prevent the brain from going into deep sleep.

    Sleeping is an activity. Humans are just weird for closing both eyes and both sides of the brain at the same time, but it doesn’t mean that we shut down completely. Most animals do not sleep this way If we could experience partial sleeping like animals, we’d probably understand better what a good sleep is…

    I think it’s perfectly fair to prioritize yourself first. Politicians should do that.

    But why does she want China last? That’s just hatred.

    I remember when political news were pictures of people shaking hands and making trade agreements. These days it’s all screenshots of social media posts made from someone hiding in a basement or gated community. Trump refusing to answer a telephone call from Canada while using his phone to tweet out more bullshit is a new low.

    American politics might be two sided team game, but international politics are not. Unfortunately for the republicans, they desperately need an opponent to make themselves relevant. They simply don’t have anything else to offer.
