I just saw @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social quoting someone's description of jellyfish as "organised water", so - a reminder:

- no circulatory system
- no skeleton
- seem to “think” with their nerve-endings
- 95% water, meaning any jellyfish you see almost entirely isn’t one.

The ultimate rebel.
A photo by Mike Sowden of a Lion's Mane jellyfish stranded on the shore of South Ayrshire, looking like an explosion of muted colour, or maybe a model of a galaxy made of trifle. So weird-ass.

Someone remake “It’s a Wonderful Life” but Mr. Potter believes that hoarding is morally required so he can devote resources to delivering a far future with trillions of humans while George Bailey is like, “Gosh Darnit! What if taking care of people today is what takes care of people in the future?!”

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.

Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.

Be a housing fan.

Please enjoy these shelter pups reacting to getting a kiss. Some are bashful, some have butterflies, and all deserve approximately 10 million more. 14/10 for all

A screenshot of a youtube video, titled Opabinia (Burning Man 2009). Video image: a scientific illustration of Opabinia, an unusual looking prehistoric arthropod-like animal. White text on the video reads, "Her name was Opa, she was a sea bug, with shapely lobes along her sides and a sexy set of eyes."

Excuses. An older comic.
A four-panel comic. In panel 1, there's an excerpt from an email that says "Re: New Tasks. Thanks for your email. Please be advised that I may take longer to answer emails because I'm swamped." And there's a person sitting happily on a rock, deep in a red maple swamp, with a frog and ferns and such. Another email excerpt says "I'm just really bogged down." The person is sitting on a bog boardwalk, surrounded by bog and fen fauna like an arethusa orchid, a pitcher plant, larch and spruce, and a canada jay. The email says "I'm not out of the woods yet." The person is happily wandering through the forest, looking at lichens and mushrooms. The email says "Sorry, it's crunch time." The person is kneeling in a forest, watching a red squirrel crunch away at a pine cone.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
