@CAgovernor Governor Newsom: *dips lobster gingerly in butter* “What do I think about this Iran business?”
14 Staffers standing tensely by table: “We need more time for focus groups, we suggest for now you take every side”
Governor Newsom: *sniffs lobster, grimaces* “Whatever, tweet it”
@iGardon Do you think you are helping create New Democrat voters by arrogantly scolding people for not appreciating that $17 billion of their money was spent on a train that doesn’t exist?
@justalexoki It’s the lighting. For my girlfriend, good or bad lighting is largely what determines whether a pic of us is allowed on Instagram or not. The harsh overhead lighting in pic 2 is turning women off.
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.
@RealAngelaMc Finished Hyperion last week, on to the second book now, hoping it’ll answer some questions. The first book was interesting sci-fi but felt like kind of a tease.
