Deciding how to greet wife when she wakes up

Option 1: Happy birthday, love of my life.

Option 2: HAHAHA, your last birthday in the 30s 😂😂😂 next year you'll officially be middle aged like me 🤣🤣🤣
Went with both options of course. But I did make her a decent birthday dinner. Mussels in a Creole type broth, stir fried sugar snap peas, sourdough toast, and Catskills gin and whiskey. Also splashed the booze in the mussels to bring out the flavor.
What's better? My cooking game or my butt game? 😏
Only 8 more months of making "when I was your age, we didn't have to wear masks on airplane" jokes to wife.

TIL that deer see the color orange as green so it's hard for them to spot tigers. So many years I wondered, the tiger looks so gorgeous, but how the hell does it not get spotted a mile away? Nothing around is that color in India! Image
Btw this learning came from Netflix's #Lifeincolor by David Attenborough. So cool to see how different animals and insects see the visual spectrum so differently from us.
I feel so vindicated cos I argued (very respectfully) with a couple of teachers about this a lot. 😂😂 Like come on, how can a predator be that gorgeous and striking? How? And they would be like, brown orange soil and I'm like nah, that works for lions. Tigers be bright! 1

I keep seeing screenshots of Nilakantan Rajaraman, another craven misogynist who prefers to hide his sick mind behind convenient handles like "puram politics" or "the maanga" or suchlike. Here's a thread on this depraved individual and why you should block him.
If you're old enough to have read blogs in their heyday 15-20 years ago, you will remember Nilu. Throwing around the word "cunt" at any woman who challenged him. It was a frequent thing in early to mid 2000s indian blogs. He'd call someone a "cunt", then giggle at the outrage.
And if a woman still had the temerity to push back, she was featured in his "puke of the day" posts. And his fellow incel minions then flooded the comments of those women bloggers. Traumatized them big time. Just so Nilakantan Rajaraman could have a giggle at a woman's expense.

Fun little known fact inspired by this absolutely gorgeous shot. If you're ever lost in Central Park and want to return to the concrete jungle, every lamp post is like a GPS location.
1st 2 digits - nearest street
Last 2 digits - lower at the thin lines, even east, odd west.
So 6803 on the lamp means you're really close to 68th street and Central Park West,
6802 means you're really close to 68th St and 5th avenue
6842 means you're along 68th street but at the centre of the park, slightly to the east.
Etc.

Little known nerdy fact to navigate.
Most visitors to Central Park, even most NYC residents, assume it is this huge gorgeous wildernesses that leaves the original Manhattan untouched and gives us a slice of its non concrete existence.
That's only partially true. That "wilderness" originally looked very different.

"Let's deflect blame on Biden for raw materials....Oh crap he relaxed those... hmm that old patent thing, let's revive the....Oh crap he supports that too. Quick, who else can we blame for our death tolls? Any components made in muslim countries?"
Sanghis got completely thrown off by how an actual thoughtful leader who seeks counsel before decisions is not the same as someone ruling through tweets, primetime speeches, and petulance. Threw a twitter tantrum for the 2 days it took for Biden to respond on raw materials.
Biden was like shhh let me think and then said okay. Trump would have said lol leave from the thin lane.

Then this extremely complex patent protection thing. Again they wanted him to maybe tweet out a policy change? He took his time, sought counsel, said ok.

Also aid ka hisaab?

Awwww, as someone who spent the day after the second shot looking like a mountain of blankets, I totally understand. Sleep it off 😍. Last class of zoom teaching today! Hopefully!
Hoping all graduating seniors are vaccinated by end of May so I can take them out for a happy hour on my dime before they leave. They're the reason I held a steady job through this pandemic. The least I can do is buy em some food and drinks. 😁😁
But for now, this guy isn't gonna be making students attend a class after the second dose.

I remember when I finished watching Ken Burns' Civil War documentary, and I wanted more. So I watched his The West next.
Holy crap it was a shocking eye-opener. So many of the Union "heroes" from the Civil War... Not Confederates.. then went about brutalizing first nations.
Deadwood was a show that captured the brutality and moral bankruptcy of the westward expansion well. Unlike the cowboy tv shows, movies, and westerns. Maybe that's why it didn't really last too many seasons and had a very anemic sequel movie a decade later. Too real.
Let's play cowboys and indians sounds more cool than let's play genocide.
