Dire wolves were not close relatives of gray wolves. They last shared a common ancestor more than 5 million years ago. What Colossal has done is make something new and slapped a dire wolf sticker on it, as if an organism equals a hypothetical genome.

For the first time ever, I love the way NY Post framed this. Because if you aren’t a heartless CEO and have a problem with this after reading it, you really gotta unpack that.

The Queens state assemblyman said his plans for his socialist utopia involve subsidizing free transit and childcare with higher taxes on corporations and establishing city-run food stores, freezing rent for millions of New Yorkers and creating a new safety plan for the city.

Again, my utmost respect for @polygon.com for reporting on Dreams on a Pillow when so many sites and influencers that claim to stand for inclusivity and diversity and equality have ducked speaking about the genocide, about Palestine, and about Palestinian stories.

It’s follow-up to the award-winning Liyla and the Shadows of War

This kind of thing was a genuine risk for gay men back when I first became a private practice therapist, except that it was "meeting strangers through the personals" and "meeting strangers via Craigslist" rather than via apps. It's disturbing as hell, but not new.
11 teens have been arrested for beating two men they had lured using a gay dating app.
Activists and police warn the attacks are part of a larger social media trend where straight teens and adults target and lure gay men for assault. www.advocate.com/crime/illino...

If we use transitive property to measure the legitimacy of murder, Luigi Mangione deserves to be as free as Daniel Penny.
Being annoyed on a subway is much lesser than watching your mom slowly die to intentionally burdensome paperwork and kneecapped policy in pursuit of shareholder gain.

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.
