In case you haven't heard yet, Colossal, the biotech company that earlier this year showed off their "woolly mouse," has announced that they de-extincted "dire wolves." I put this in quotes, because just like with the mice, they didn't truly bring them back (nothing can actually do that, yet) or even really make them.
What they actually did was kind of neat; they copied genes sequenced from dire wolf DNA and inserted them into the grey wolf genome (replacing grey wolf DNA, as they said gray wolves shared a significant percentage of their genome (which isn't saying a TON considering how much the human and chimp genome have in common without being nearly the same animals, but it's better than taking, say, a turtle's genome or something else super unrelated), to create a wolf with genes that dire wolves had.
And while that's not really the same thing as building a dire wolf completely from scratch, so to speak, and it's not really "cloning" them either, it's still pretty cool science, and just like with the woolly mouse, the work (ie, altering/editing multiple genes at once from sequenced DNA of deceased individuals) COULD apply to conservation of actual species (for example, having the ability to widen the genome of remaining breeding individuals of an endangered species, with DNA from deceased individuals). I'm not sure if it IS applying to other species right now (at least not through this company, despite their stated claims to want to), but it is one of their stated goals and it would work.
Also, they're pretty cute
As they were born in October 2024, they now have their own 2,000 acre reserve where Colossal is monitoring them closely. There are two males and one female, but as they've stated they do not have plans to breed them, I'm not sure where the female is being kept in relation to the males, but I suspect she's the solo-wolf pictured, vs the pics of the pair.

Anyway, that's all happening.

I saw a random post linking to this now-unrebloggable but very good post about the current state of reading comprehension in the USA amongst learned english majors due to the quite literal scam sold to the US government decades ago that has impacted generations, as many people have no doubt noticed but not been able to give a name to:
youtube
and out of sheer curiosity I am, I guess, now going to read "Bleak House" by Charles Dickens once I get through my current To Be Read list?
Anyways, for those unaware, it is Public Domain in the USA, which means you can 100% legally read it online or download to your favorite reading app from Project Gutenberg!
"Bleak House" by Charles Dickens is a novel written in the mid-19th century that explores the themes of social justice, the inefficiencies of the legal system, and the personal struggles of its characters.
The narrative primarily revolves around several characters involved in the interminable court case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce, delving into their lives, relationships, and the pervasive influence of the legal system on their choices and fates.
The story is introduced through the eyes of Esther Summerson, a young woman of uncertain parentage, who finds herself at the center of the unfolding drama.
It actually sounds super interesting from the blurb, too ...

#im was fucking locked in on this 4th of july#bc i have so much to fucking to before i leave next week i was like fuck it im just gonna go into the lab. and i needed to prep for a#meeting Monday but didn't fucking want to so i was getting data together so that i could send figures to my advisor#bc hes going to a photosynthesis conference and wants to share some or my data. so ive got all my figures all nice displaying evidence of#recombination in my gene cluster. which is cool bc i have this strain that comes frome a huge population at Yellowstone and it's clearly had#contact with this strain from Alaska. they have 2 identical sections across the cluster. so thats 2 transfer events. so cool stuff. exciting#too bc with this cluster everyone in the literature was initially like: its all horizontal transfer bc its inconsistent who had it. but now#everyone is like: its all vertical transfer bc the gene trees match the species trees. but their trees fucking suck lol#and my data says fuck u recommendation is happening so its primarily vertical transfer but with some horizontal mixed in. messy messy.#but the tail end of my reference strain is weird compared to the other 3 strains showing evidence of transfer. so i was like. well. i dont#wanna prep for my meeting so maybe ill try to figure out where this end bit comes from for a bit. and like 3hrs later im like hm i really#think its from this strain from costa rica lol. so now i have to make another 6 fucking trees. and probably go into the lab tomorrow and#Sunday bc for some reason i cqnt connect well enough on our super computer to transfer files from my computer to the cluster while using a#vpn. and then im like what if i look at all the rest of my trees for interesting stuff. and i like there may be some transfer going on#between the group the costa rica guy is in and the sister species to the thermalis group. and some stuff probably came from fuck knos where#bc it groups way outside of where everything else. so who knows. i lov looking at trees so much. its like doing puzzles and all the software#for doing genetics stuff looks so satisfying. love love love the visuals of a sliding window. anway#i basically worked until like 8am-7pm bc i was having fun. idk if any of this is comprehensible to anyone but like i love that#organisms r just out there being weird in ways we can't tell until u look at their genome in comparison to their direct relatives#like: ...hang on. why tf r u like that? secretly weird. not the type of thing the government wants to fund. tho my funding this summer does#come from the government bc my advisor listed that im gonna help with something. which i didnt kno abt. so shh#i love working with data so much. just let me stare at data and code all day#unrelated

while i’m on this topic. to anyone with “freaks dni” in their bio, do you know the history of the word ‘freak’? do you know that it came into common use because of freakshows, which largely showcased disabled people (specifically physically deformed people) and intersex people? do you know that to a lot of folks, even today, “sexual freak” is a direct synonym for “person who has consensual sex with someone of the same gender”? are you aware of the subjectivity of the word you’re using, and the historical (and current) hatred behind it, and the fact that people cannot read your mind and will not know what random groups of ‘disgusting’ people you’re talking about just from a single broad-purpose word?

the thing about knowing too much about subjects that don't matter to most people is that I have a mental catalogue of Words That Make Me Sigh Out Loud Because Of The Implications but I sound batshit if I try and explain any of it to anyone and also nobody cares
