their behaviors are fascinating - defintely warrant a highlight to the science friday audience

i have a friend who photographs birds including many of our local SF nuthatches - let me know and I can ask if he's willing to offer us some pics for the love of the nuthatches & science

here's the photo link and the author if you want to context them >> www.flickr.com/photos/lvfel...

not my photo, downloaded off the internet but can look for one

@scifri.bsky.social left you a pygmy nuthatch nomination voicemail as well 😀📞👑

pygmy nuthatches - energetic, fearless, even while being tiny, super-smart (were flying in front if the kitchen window demanding their water bath be brought back), work as a team / fascinating social structure, super-cute & perky - did I mention they hang upside down?

now google ai pulls in a portion of the article out of context to make up an explanation that "licking a badger twice" now means "reflecting biases back" highlighting it as a quote from a PhD researcher in Wired (also w/o licensing wired content for use in their new product/feature)

in case you were wondering >>

"you can't lick a badger twice" means google ai will change its response once outed (or tricked into a new one - e.g. here garymarcus.substack.com/p/april-fool...) >>
