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.

Ian, did I ever tell you about the D-Rex?
He was our first ever attempt at creating a dinosaur, just a completely fucked mutation with six limbs and an arse for a face. We abandoned him on a secret third island I forgot to mention to you. He's probably still roaming there.
And he was a good friend.

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

Today, the UK government announced a proposal to change copyright law - for the benefit of AI companies - that would cause huge, irreversible harm to creators.
More info below, but most importantly here's what you can do (wherever you live):

Food for thought? A lot of people's conception of Tyrannosaurus is more like Tarbosaurus. Knife-like teeth? Check. Possibly hunted in packs? Check. Coexisted with a lot of sauropods? Check. Lived alongside "Velociraptor"? Check.

My take on #zonefighter and #zoneangel
From the series Zone Fighter. Kinda made them a bit more inhuman and redesign their hero forms.
