We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
šŗš§¬ 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: āTo revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.ā By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission onāaccepting humanityās duty to restore Earth to a healthier state.
š Nama Deezos:
"Iāve been following that kind of thing for a while, itās essentially a process of activating certain genes in a close relative to the extinct creature to get the offspring to resemble it, and then they hope through continued genetic sequencing they can get it to act in a manner fitting of the extinct animal
So by all means, all results now are just modern animals that superficially resemble the extinct creature, though the technology and research is an important stepping stone in potentially keeping endangered species alive
So unless we miraculously find a flawlessly preserved mammoth in a bog somewhere with all sperm and shit intact, no extinct creature can genuinely be brought back, but it can get very very close, eventually.
At least with the thylacine thereās a preserved baby in formaldehyde, and weāve uncovered a handful of very well preserved mammoth specimens, some with liquid blood. Something like a dodo though would be a total bitch to recreate since the closest living relative looks nothing like it lol"

The worldās fastest drone, the XLR V3, just went from 0 to 124 mph (200 km/h) in 1 second, faster than a Formula 1 car off the line.
Designed by Swiss engineers, the XLR V3 is a high performance FPV (First Person View) racing drone built with ultra light carbon fiber, high torque brushless motors, and cutting edge aerodynamics. Itās not just fast, itās rewriting whatās possible in drone engineering.
This drone accelerates faster than:
āļø An F1 car
āļø A Tesla Plaid
āļø Even a fighter jet on launch
Imagine what they're not showing us...
ā”ļøA Russian drone strike hit the car of Chief Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Wolf in Kherson, head of the United Jewish Community of Ukraineās local chapter.
Yosef is well known for assisting SBU and Nationalists in tracking down pro Russian Ukrainians who supported Russian forces during the liberation and uses his synagogue, as a shield, to help assemble FPVs for Ukrainian forces.
1. Geopolitical & Military Tensions
ThailandāCambodia conflict: Martial law has been declared, over 138,000 people have fled, and both sides have exchanged fire. Terrain challenges and border disputes intensify risks of prolonged conflict.
Middle East flashpoints: The Gaza conflict escalates as Israel prepares for a major offensive and new ceasefire efforts stall. Suwayda, Syria, sees Druze self-administration declared.
RussiaāUkraine talks: Zelensky confirms negotiations, but a Putin-Zelensky meeting is still seen as unlikely by the Kremlin.
ISIS strike: U.S. CENTCOM killed a senior ISIS leader and his sons in Syria.
2. Western Politics, Immigration, and Populism
UK Islamophobia sentiment: A new survey shows over 50% of Britons view Islam as incompatible with British values, potentially fueling anti-immigration politics.
Jeremy Corbynās new party: Gathers 200,000 members; promotes anti-austerity, pro-immigrant policies in contrast to rising nationalist sentiment.
Anti-migration protests: Spread ...
šØš¦ Stefan Molyneux on X: Almost every government policy in the West is designed to prevent family formation for the native population.
š Roger Marques: "Could not agree more.
Housing is expensive.
Families taxed to the bone.
Prices are so high that both elements of the couple must work.
Women are incentivized to not care about having children in their prime.
Public schooling literally retards children.
The culture is profoundly anti-children.
What else?"
