So I did the Bluesky "roast" thing and it said, Sarah, maybe lay off the jellyfish posts.

But there should only ever be MORE jellyfish content. Everyone knows this.

We are told: the product now has Gemini. We added Rufus. You can talk to Bixby. We've integrated Alice. Chat with Poob. Log on to Poob right now. Poob has it for you. Poob has it for you. Poob has it for you.

We are never told "so what." Even the teams working on these products don't know anymore.
When teams don't understand their own product
A usable product starts with the conceptual model, but designers have "optimized" that work out of the profession. It's time to bring it back.

I was trying to remember the name of the Chicxulub crater and for the life of me, all I could manage was "Chicks Club," as if a lesbian bar ended the dinosaurs.

I did a search in my Google Photos for "jellyfish" hoping it would give me a result that is not a jellyfish, but something that looks like a jellyfish.

It did not disappoint.

Here is a very underexposed image of an Art Institute of Chicago lion wearing a Cubs hat in 2016.

Had an idea for a new entry in the Alien franchise, Alien: Perth (this time, it’s in Australia), which sees a xenomorph going up against all the deadly Australian wildlife that’s already trying to kill you, such as platypuses (platypi?), punching kangaroos, those tiny venomous jellyfish, etc…

I stepped into the warm waters of Costa Rica and stepped right the fuck out of them. Some kind of Jellyfish. It was like cut by a razor that was white hot. Peeling on it did nothing. Dont pee on yourselves.
I love biology facts but it's disappointing that it's both a misconception that urine works as emergency water and that it can treat a jellyfish sting, the sad reality is your pee is useless and your body wants it out of you for a reason 😞
