Mom would’ve turned only 65 today. Its wild to think its been 13 years since we’ve lost her, but the wounds are still feel fresh. On the other hand the living must go on and not let the burden of past weigh them down. Today we celebrate my wife’s birthday too. Mom and her shared the day for a few brief years that their lives crossed paths (less than 3!). And by a strange stroke of luck, it also is my FIL-MIL’s wedding anniversary too.

He occupies my Home Screen 80% of the time I’d say. Today’s shot.

I don’t get bath and body works. Who the fuck wants to smell like strawberry pound cake or a beach coconut?! (These are actual “flavors” I am seeing in the store). What the fuck does a beach coconut smell like anyway?

Done with book 1 of The three body problem . Wow what a spectacularly imagined story. I am excited to read the other two in the series now!

I generally don’t support capital punishment but wretched wretched humans like these have no business living in this world. These people absolutely deserve the death sentence. Mom who left toddler at home for 10 days while on holiday pleads guilty to murder - National | Globalnews.ca

I have no words 😂 @pratik

This is the atrocious avatar that Microsoft copilot created of my English cream retriever. Like this is so pathetically laughable.

He is 100% right. Why would India say anything against Russia? India has nothing to gain by doing this.

I want to be angry about Alabama ruling. But I am laughing instead. Because you know what, you flying fucks in that state deserve everything coming your way. You want it differently, vote different. Classic leopards ate my face opinions coming out of Alabama. I am like duh.

I keep thinking back to March 2020 when things began to shut down in the country and I feel like I have no recollection of the first couple of months of the shut down. Its a complete blur. The only connection to those days are the photos. And then the photos make it feel like oh we met so and so in June, oh wait her swim began in September, oh we are out doing so and so outside and don’t convey the gravity of the situation in those days. I am glad I don’t remember much of that time, but I do feel like March 2020 feels like 10 years ago at this point.

We are having a “thunder” storm in February. In February. The earliest I imagine thunderstorms hitting us was around April. And oh, it also kind snow flaked this morning. Only in DC area can you go from bitter cold to snow to a thunderstorm to a beautiful 60 degree sunny day all in a matter of sunrise to sunset.

Well, how else will they do their jobs right and stay focused? Good job yo!

Will there be some cosmic justice for us and perhaps a scotus judge drops dead in October for democrats for return the RBG favor? One can hope.

A beautiful sunny 50 degree day that even our community resident red-tailed hawk also approves of.

In other news my kid is on a complete device (phone, iPad, kindle, laptop) timeout for a week over an incident that I did not expect out of her. Last night she brushed it off saying who cares! but this morning it turns out she cares too much about losing access to all her friends messaging groups and realized the magnitude of not being able to chit chat with her friends for a week! Too bad girl, I am still the dad here and some lessons are learnt the hard way. It’s the perfect time for me to tell her in my days we had no phone…..

Apparently the kid won a bet with a family friend’s kid. The bet was that kid was going to propose to a girl on valentine’s day and my kid said she would reject him, which is exactly how it turned out. To be fair my kid and another friend’s kid tried their best to be his support and gave him lots of tips on what to do, but alas. Later at dinner table I quipped that over the last year, herself and the other kids of family friends of ours have all been rejected by their respective crushes, so maybe its time they started dating brown kids instead of chasing white kids. Obviously I got the eyebrows from the kid, but I was like, ya know, brown ain’t bad!

What is it about Rugby that makes is so much fun to watch than American Football which in theory is almost similar but is an absolute dud game to follow. Its like American Football literally took the worst out of every sport and made it their own, and then convinced an entire populace that its a amazing sport.

Omfg I think I have received nearly 40 emails just today from Democrat candidates or pacs asking for donation! Where was the email shared to them? Fucking he’ll - reporting as spam to all of them! I am donating through swingleft and I don’t want to hear one fucking thing Katie Porter says about her senate chances! Ugh!!!

I don’t know the first episode has kind of soured Jon Stewart for me, at least temporarily. While I enjoyed his Tucker takedown it just didnt seem to have meat that it should have. Like everything felt like duh. Who is his audience at this point, really? I dont think he knows either.( I mean Tucker was pretty much ridiculed by one and all with the same jokes by people who hate him already. I guess maybe the current medium of quick reaction is souring what could’ve been a great take? )
