Caffeine doesn't replace lost hours of sleep, it only masks the fatigue signals to your brain so you don't realize how tired you actually are. You still suffer the cognitive and physiological deficits from the sleep deficiency, you just can't tell. Which is good actually and fine I've decided

The whole speech is good, but this part in particular is particularly relevant now. www.trumanlibrary.gov/library/publ...

A screenshot of a section of the linked speech by former President Harry Truman:

I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign.

But when a Democratic candidate goes out and explains what the New Deal and fair Deal really are--when he stands up like a man and puts the issues before the people--then Democrats can win, even in places where they have never won before. It has been proven time and again.
We are getting a lot of suggestions to the effect that we ought to water down our platform and abandon parts of our program. These, my friends, are Trojan horse suggestions. I have been in politics for over 30 years, and I know what I am talking about, and I believe I know something about the business. One thing I am sure of: never, never throw away a winning program.
This is so elementary that I suspect the people handing out this advice are not really well-wishers of the Democratic Party.

The spider women live longer than the spider men obviously. Pretty much across the board. I don’t know why that also tends to be true in most species including ours. Probably because God wants them to have a little respite at the end there to be left alone. To not have someone in their house.

My ailments
I spent like five or ten minutes trying to coax a little spider out of the bathtub so I could get in to soak in peace. On account of my ailments. I always hate the dawning recognition that I’m inside of a metaphor but even more so when I can tell it’s a pedestrian one. This spider's life or death wasn't even creatively inspiring. I already did a whole spider routine last time.

How are the people who kill us walking around out there not constantly bedeviled. I am routinely bedeviled and I haven’t even done anything evil. I can barely kill a spider without having an existential crisis over it. I am sometimes overcome by weltschmerz whenever I throw out an old toothbrush. You’ve served me well old friend but now it is your time to go to the trash dump. We have the watch. That type of thing. And yet these people whose job it is to represent our interests seem to float freely through the world unbothered and unmolested by either conscience or grief. What has it got to be like to be able to live like that?

I saved it anyway. The spider. Insisted it unto the emancipation of the open screen window like Simba’s annunciation whereafter it presumably went on to live a long and fulfilling life as a spider however long that is on average. Eating as many bugs as it liked.

Ok well I looked it up and it’s between thirty years on the upper end if you're a tarantula and a few months on the low end if you’re a common household spider which this guy surely was. I guess there is a species called a trapdoor spider than can live up to forty or thereabouts. The oldest one they ever knew of was forty three. That spider was losing its spider hair and had joint pain. So many more joints than us too.

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

HOW TO LOOK AT ART by Lynda Barry

In the first panel, a dog-headed woman, a mother, looks at a painting in the "Madonna with Baby Jesus" vein. A small blobby child is standing next to her.

Mother: IM NOT SURE HOW TO LOOK AT ART.
Child: WHATS SPOSTA HAPPEN?

In the second panel the dog-headed mother holds up her hands (paws?) trying to explain to the child.

Mother: SOMETHING BIG. A REVELATION.
SUDDENLY YOU JUST UNDERSTAND.

In the third panel dog-headed mother goes back to looking at the painting. The child holds up their arms to be lifted.

Mother: NOT SURE HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
Child: HOW BOUT LIFT ME UP SO I CAN SEE BETTER

In the last panel, the dog-headed mother is holding the child, their position mirrored by the Madonna and baby Jesus in the painting.
