When a parrot wanted to connect with a distant friend, a touchscreen showed a selection of other birds available online. The parrots learned to activate the screen, designed specially for them, by touching it gently with their tongues rather than pecking aggressively with their beaks. "We had 26 birds involved," said Hirskyj-Douglas. "They would use the system up to three hours a day, with each call lasting up to five minutes." The interactions ranged from preening and playing with toys to loud vocal exchanges. "When we went through the data, we found that most of these parrots had favourite friends," said Hirskyj-Douglas.

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔

AI could never in a million years give us something as good as Minmo

As an aside, I'm told multiple major outlets were not interested in this story and passed on covering it. Mind-boggling.

People are trying to think of ways to be cute about this and: do not. Do not call the feds with spurious reports. Do not play word games about extra terrestrials. Simply do not interact and do not answer questions about other people and always, always, demand a judicial warrant

A 2000s style meme with impact font. An orange cat wearing a colorful sombrero is straining and there is a knock at the door. He mumbles "estoy poopin." There's another knock, and he yells "ESTOY POOPIN'"

Instead, the Texas Education Agency, which oversees public education in the state, appointed him to lead Houston schools in June. The agency also replaced the entire elected school board with hand-picked managers. This is allowed under state law because one school, out of more than 270 in the system, failed to meet academic standards for several years in a row.

This is so terrifying. Libraries are going to be replaced with disciplinary centers in 85 schools cause ONE school didn't meet standards. https://www.npr.org/2023/08/02/1191519700/houstons-plan-to-convert-some-school-libraries

Okay Bluesky friends, I need to be serious with you for a second. There’s going to come a day, probably soon, when someone is going to arrive on this platform and post a picture of a guy with a bunch of swords pointed at him.

When that day comes we have to work together and tell them to fuck off

They only do this cuddling when I'm mad at them. They knocked over my donuts and licked the frosting so they began cuddling for damage control.
