We just announced we’re bringing the bluebuck back from extinction.
What’s that? It’s a furry blue antelope. Humans drove it to extinction over 200 years ago. And we don’t love that ending. So we’re rewriting it.
Follow for all the updates on the bluebuck de-extinction. (1/3)
I saw this video this morning on my feed and I think it so eloquently explains what Charlie Kirk was put on this earth to do.
“When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence, that is when civil war happens”
SOUND ON. You’re hearing the first howl of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years. Meet Romulus and Remus—the world’s first de-extinct animals, born on October 1, 2024.
The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years. This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: “To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.” By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state.
But this isn’t just our moment—it’s one for science, our planet, and humankind. All of which we love and are passionate about. Now, close your eyes and listen to that howl once more. Think about what this means for all of us.
FYI: "Balls to the wall" or "balls out" is not a vulgar phrase.
It refers to the "balls" of a centrifugal governor on a steam engine, which, when the engine is really cranking, are flying straight out.
I've also heard that it can refer to old aircraft throttles as well, which had a "ball" on top.
