They’re constantly using their brains to navigate, which keeps the hippocampus healthy. That’s the part of the brain tied to memory and spatial skills. And no, using GPS doesn’t count, but folding a map does.

🦅 Help name these chicks: Jackie and Shadow are the internet’s favorite eagle couple. Over a million fans watched their three eggs hatch on a 24/7 nest cam in California’s Big Bear Valley. The oldest chick passed away after a storm on March 13, but the other two are doing well. Help name them by donating at least $5 by Friday. Speaking of … Why can’t you breed an eel with an eagle? It’s Eeleagle. (Ouch.)
Check your kid’s phone for Zepeto: If you have kids, think Roblox meets Facebook, where people create avatars and explore virtual worlds. A mom says a predator used the private messaging feature to contact her 12-year-old daughter. The sicko pretended to be a teen, asked if she’d had sex and demanded photos. Gross.

🔥 I like big bots, and I cannot lie: Nearly 2 million people have turned to ChatGPT for advice on sex and spicing things up in the bedroom. Hey, if it works … who am I to judge? From pillow talk to playful ideas, even AI is getting in on the action. 💋
China preparing for a space war: This is sci-fi for real. China’s testing satellites that perform tricky, close-range maneuvers, like dogfighting between fighter jets. China says they’re for “space environment monitoring,” but uhm, one model apparently has a robotic arm (paywall link). It could be used to attack other satellites!
🚨 Red alert for Androids: Be careful what you download. Hackers are using a tool called .NET MAUI to create what look like legit banking, dating and social media apps. They spread through texts and shady links instead of the Google Play Store. Always stick to the official app store, and keep your OS updated. Mahalo!
🐟 Ding-dong, it’s fishy: This is cool. You can help fish migrate through canals in the Netherlands. If you spot one on this underwater camera, press the “fish doorbell” to let them swim safely through the key lock. Last year, about 9.3 million people visited the site and rang the bell over 40,000 times. Let minnow if you see a fish. I haven’t.
Know a consultant? Give them a hug. The days of paying someone for data analysis, document summaries and reports are dead. AI can do all that, much cheaper. A Deloitte exec says the only way to make money in consulting now is to think like an engineer and call yourself a “technologist.” Share that with a consultant you know.
