People getting so mad in the notes of that GMO dire wolf post holy fuck.
I feel like I should say that while the John Hammond "flea circus" analogy is, in many ways, apt, Colossal is doing something in addition to making frankensteined approximations of prehistoric animals that John Hammond did not:
These dire wolves are ethically dubious and absolutely not authentic, but at least Colossal is actually making the proverbial flock of condors.
This company really is the controversy gift that keeps on giving. How do we know they "act" like dire wolves?
Also, this philosophy of phenotype over genotype actually bodes very badly for those red wolves they cloned? Are they even red wolves? Or do they just look like red wolves?
for a website who talks about reading comprehension so much, no one has any idea what its like for animal videos. so here you go, sincerely im tired of your fucking bullshit.
Stay safe, guys
it’s three taps anywhere on the screen on a smartphone!
This is important punks. Deadly important.
I’ve texted their hotline before. It was super helpful and even if it hadn’t been the amount of time you’re there can be enough to let your urges fade and stay safe.

Repost from AJ+
“When our grandchildren ask what we did during the genocide in Gaza, I’ll say I refused.”
"Ella Keidar Greenberg is in jail for refusing to serve in the Israeli army, a decision she announced publicly outside the military recruitment center. She’s currently being held in solitary confinement, according to Mesarvot, an organization that supports conscientious objectors. AJ+ spoke to her before her detention."
A few people in the notes have been fairly incredulous at only 10 refuseniks since the 7th so I'd like to clarify— Ella is the 10th objector to publicize her refusal and imprisonment since October 7th. In September 2023, over 200 teenage settlers released an open letter titled Youth Against Dictatorship promising to refuse service when their draft days came and calling for the end of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land. And we know in November of 2024 Israel released at least 1126 arrest warrants for orthodox settlers who had refused service.
The exact number is hard to say, especially when Israel has an interest in concealing it to keep up their image.
can u see me? just checking,,
wow, for some reason, less than 4 months after she made her account, my girlfriend got silently banned off Tumblr! thats crazy!
i wonder what my black trans girlfriend did to get herself banned! oh well im sure there was a really good reason for it
this website is a fucking joke.
if you arent furious over this in light of the recent downsizing of tumblr's staff to about 25, then you havent thought yet about how purposeful you have to be to single out a single black trans person for being black and trans out of a userbase accounting for 300 million daily logins.
because of something existential that they dont like about her.
no email or anything by the way. no notice of deletion, she just attempted logging in and couldnt. there is no consistent terms of service to account for this, it is very blatant transmisogynoir for this to have come to pass.
im sure they could come up with some legal bullshit reason to cover themselves, but think about it. 25 staff. thats fewer people than a highschool classroom, as my other partner put it so well, and they still decided hers was the most dangerous blog on tumblr. alright man.
my gorgeous gorgeous girlfriend appreciates all the kind words, and wanted me to let you all know that she's doing okay! she's taking it with stride, and has still got jokes about it despite how shitty it is. she'll probably post something about it sometime soon, but for now don't fret too much about her mentals!
maintain the angry energy towards staff and the shameless bigotry that permeates their moderation, by all means, but don't worry yourself over my girl. she's very strong.
fyi, if anyone has ever been interested in donating to doctors without borders, they are tripling the value of any donation received until may 15 (up to $500k)
Like, okay, I love Taco Bell nachos. I love them so much. At time of filming, those cost a little under $3. If someone asked me if they were worth it, I would say, "Yes, certainly!" If tomorrow, they suddenly cost $20, I would immediately be able to say, "Oh, mm-mm, no. No, they're not worth that." I wouldn't say, "Well, I really like them, so I suppose if you can afford it, they're worth it." I would say no, they're worth around $3. Maybe up to five, if I was desperate.
This segment from jenny nicholsons star wars hotel video keeps playing in my head whenever people talk about the cost of video games these days so i'm clipping it because it's relatable to me.
37 people were illegally detained in Bellingham, Washington for the ‘crime’ of speaking Spanish. This is so fucking inhumane and cruel
it's shameful how long i had to look to find an article covering this story that gives more information besides saying "37 undocumented workers were arrested wednesday." cascadia news and the AP were the only sources i found that include any journalism whatsoever beyond the police report.
Hey, this is local for me. It would mean a lot if you could help out even a little bit.
Love some miserable Elon in the morning
normally stuff like this feels performative because anyone can talk shit online to someone and most normal people would just ignore it and block you but in this instance its the funniest thing in the world because you know for a fact its getting to him
even the bloated miller wants him dead
