ok, i'm awake and the headache is finally receding.

i didn't have time to deal with that right now. ugh.

i have been repeatedly drugged recently and it has at times been difficult to tell if i'm having a migraine or need to pass something through.

this is complete migraine, going on 23 hours. i've got these tylenol+caffeine tablets and they just knock me out anyways. 

i'll stick with the caffeine. i would never take any sort of opiate, including codeine, on purpose.

i don't think there's a headache scale, like the richter scale, but these are the worst of the worst, and they make me sometime feel like the guy from pi, but i don't take drugs when the headaches get bad, they don't even really work, i just sleep it off.

there's a bill to block the tariffs that looks likely to pass in the us senate.

there are ways to force it to the floor of the house:

i've been getting hemiplegic migraines for years and the one that hit this morning around 9:00 lasted almost 15 hours, making it one of the most brutal headaches i've ever had.

it's still lingering. 

well, it's april 2nd. 

if you're a poor american that was dumb enough to vote for donald trump, here's your reward: a massive consumption tax hike on imported goods.

yes, he's laughing at you. 

because you're stupid.

next step: once the import taxes are in place, they can pass giant tax cuts for elon musk.
