Dear Stores- I love fall. I want to buy fall things. I want to spend money on cute, cozy crap I don't need to celebrate my favorite season. But it's Oct. 4 and Christmas shit is everywhere. Seems like a missed opportunity to take my money. Just saying.

Having CNN ask me for comments on the 2026 Ig Nobel prize winners is the peak of my career. www.cnn.com/2026/09/03/s...

Think of scientific research and you may picture white lab coats, microscopes or arrays of high-end equipment — but the reality is sometimes very different.

In case no one has told you lately: 1. You are strong 2. You are beautiful 3. Sea cucumbers have fish that live in their buttholes and eat their ever-regenerating gonads like some sort of sick undersea Prometheus 4. You are deserving of love

MBARI created a game called @fathomverse.bsky.social that gamifies identification of animals from the deep sea! Listening to a talk about this super cool work at #SICB2026
A jellyfish is using a phone and thinking “oh sucks. Squid lemme log that” with the other words “community scientists help id animals from images from the deep sea with a phone game”
