Golden girl cat eyeballs jellyfish on a screen wondering why she can’t use her powers to get inside it and put her teefs in them

Everything is grim but here’s Rosie not wanting everyone to think that she is exempt from the lure of the fruit of the sea

Yet again disappointed that I'm not Canadian.

That's right

It's when the Octopuses team up with the jellyfish things will get really serious.

💙 Thank you for sharing this. I adored Rainbow Brite as a kid. It's strangely wonderful to learn that she was such close friends with the creator of Strawberry Shortcake.

Okay.

So some days you wake up and you find out that Aldi's has a pet chair that perfectly matches your own chairs so you spend [redacted] hours going to all the Aldi's in the greater metro area until you find That Fucking Chair™

A doodle in light blue ink on a lined journal page. There are tight, infinity shaped loops where I was testing the pen. I drew a line over this and other lines to make it look like a jellyfish, the loops being tentacles. I also drew some small bubbles above my jellyfish friend.

My pen was being stubborn so I turned my test loops into a jellyfish 🪼

It's such a Jack Aubrey moment and Crowe nails it

If I could teach you my ways -- abandoning books 85% (or more!) of the way through -- I would but it's a mystery to me, too.

Hell yeah, Sister Berthe

Jellyfish beans. Thanks autocorrect.

I'm down for uplifted whales. And I really appreciated your walkthrough of the 150 page (😵‍💫) style sheet and what goes into copyediting a TTRPG. It's a glimpse at a whole universe that's very far afield from the kind of material I work with.

Getting it Right (Whale): A Reef-erence to a Whale of a Style Sheet Back in June, when I was a guest on Nadia Geagea Pupa’s podcast, The Editor’s Half Hour, a woman in the comments (I’m afraid I don’t know her name, and I’ve been unable to find said comment) asked if ...

Thanks also to Alan Bahr the publisher. And to @paweldaruk.bsky.social who helped me with some of my research during editing.

I wrote this article about the 150-page style sheet I created to help me wrangle all the game's info together: www.linkedin.com/pulse/gettin...

This is fascinating!

I'd also accept "two kissing jellyfish in space"

Japanese won't tell you if there's one apple or 10 but it will absolutely tell you your social standing in a particular context.

Genuinely cannot believe it’s been a year since I got laid off. I was devastated. I *am* devastated. I loved my job so much. I loved working with scientists everyday.

I’m also still looking for my next job, so if you know anybody that needs a stellar comms person, let me know. Remote or in Boston.

Dang that was fast. Hope the tummy is better soon!

"The utility has pointed to the region’s historically cold winter as a cause of rising heating demand and costs...But in an email to The 51st, Pepco’s own data show that their D.C. customers actually used more energy in January 2025 than January 2026."

*hits bong*

what if nebulae are just staggeringly large jellyfish, and what we think of as “space” is really the ocean of a world that moves at an inconceivably slow pace

*exhales*

As male birth control gets closer to reality, men are lining up for clinical trials It was long believed that men wouldn't reliably use birth control, but many are signing up for clinical trials of experimental male contraceptives.

I just realized this is from 2016 so I wanted to see if there's been any progress and there are some Phase 2 trials going on

Like, I get it from a risk vs benefit calculation that goes into approving a new drug but...come on, dudes😑

That's fair. It would be nice if the AI was a little more hesitant to suggest, you know, total nuclear annihilation.

You never have to hand it to the Anthropic philosopher, but I think there's an argument to be made that this is also an issue with actual humans.

My Tarnished, having summoned her Spirit Jellyfish which she got at the beginning of her journey in the Lands Between seeing the lonely Spirit Jellyfish perk up and exclaim: "Ahh, dear sister, you're finally here."

A BLOO BLOO BLOO

I frequently find myself envying jellyfish. No mind to think, no nerves to be frayed. Only go bloop, bloop, bloop, along in the ocean's embrace, and eat whatever you touch that doesn't eat you. What a peaceful life.

i love jellyfish those freaky little blobs

Research is leadership, and code can help (but only in the right places) Code was never the blocker in delivering customer value — and the easier writing code becomes, the more it distracts from the work we must do to unblock productivity.

You often hear "software development is changing, and we must adapt" because of Claude Code.

But for my entire career, code has been the *easiest* part of making shit people care about, and we still haven't adapted.

The easier coding becomes, the less often we ask "do users actually NEED this?"
