I was going to say sperm whale but not because they have sperm in the name.
Of all the whales, sperm whales are though to have the most complex language, and they're highly social.
They are also the loudest creatures on the planet, capable of communicating over 100s of kilometers, maybe even over a 1000 km. Sometimes, free divers that swim with the whales have their body heat up from being pelleted with clicks.
Also related, one of the coolest scientific projects going right now is CETI, the cetacean translation initiative, using machine learning to try and understand whale communication. youtube link

Glad to see I'm not the only one who got the same vibes
Just want to underscore the level of heroism underway here: Sen. Tammy Duckworth has been working to evacuate Dr. Adam Hamawy (who saved her life after her helicopter crash) from the hospital the IDF is besieging and bombing. But he and his colleagues have insisted they not leave unless the IDF allows in a new rotation, otherwise the patients will all die and the IDF will overrun the hospital and leave it in ruins as they have done to every other hospital in Gaza.
Five staff were evacuated today but Hamawy refused to go, leaving his body on the line to defend and to treat his patients. He is effectively saying, if they are going to kill everyone in the hospital, they'll have to kill him too.

"The peace activists are war activists," Palantir's CEO told a room of government officials, military contractors, and tech bros. "We are the peace activists."

China giving American students free/very cheap education would be very cool and funny
South Africa is in the ICJ again, asking for more provisional measures against Israel. Can't wait for the court to do fuck all. It's being livestreamed in al jazeera
Finally some circus to entertain us
If I was Putin I would announce sanctions against the ICC right about now, just to troll the west
