Babs has to leave the clocktower for a Birds of Prey emergency and Cass is the only one around so she has to man the comms because Steph is on a mission. Cass is like yeah sure this will be fine Steph and I work great together nowadays.

But it turns out she’s the absolute worst kind of backseat driver. She leads Steph on routes that involve 20 foot wide jumps and boos when Steph says she can’t make that leap without a grapple. Steph is fighting five assassins at once and Cass is in her ear like

Cass: He has a bad leg go for the leg. Go for the leg. Why aren’t you going for the leg just break out of the hold.

Cass: Wait are you stuck. Why are you stuck just dislocate your wrist and you’ll be out of that hold. Batgirl can you hear me just snap your wrist. One two three snap.

Cass: Why are you not snapping. Hitting him isn’t working. You’re not strong enough to break his hold.

Cass: Maybe I should just come and get you. You’re not listening to my words. I’ll just rescue you.

Cass: Was that fuck off directed at me or the assassins.

Cass: Good you broke his hold. Now go for the leg. THE LEG. WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AWAY YOU CAN TAKE THEM.

Steph once Barbara gets back: Don’t ever leave me again. If I ever hear her on your line again I will rip out my earpiece.

Cass once Barbara quizzes her about the incident: I gave super clear instructions. Maybe she was just sick today idk

look i get the sentiment, but you can be anti-capitalist without coming off so insufferably annoying and dull. i wholeheartedly agree that it sucks ass that a company like disney for instance owns 90% of all popculture, but you can absolutely engage with art while still condemning its commercialised nature. like…its just a cool laser sword dude stop being a loser and just pick ur favourite fuckin colour. except harry potter if youre still talking about hogwarts houses atp youre 1000x worse than this.

You sound like your parents, don’t you remember?

Kids have ALWAYS liked stupid ass mindless shit because it’s FUN and so completely non serious, as stupid as you think the stuff they like is, they’re having FUN and It pisses me off when people start shaming kids for what they like because they’re acting like it’s so much for serious than it is. That is EXACTLY what every generation does, you are not the exception

oldsoulyoungdreamer asked:

So can we vote for Dire wolves now? (I know they are grey wolf based hybrids including jackle, red wolf, timber wolf, and artic fox dna arcoding to some sources idk how accurate that entire list is so please correct me) but still 😂

i-draws-dinosaurs:

bestanimal:

Nah, those aren’t Dire Wolves, sorry. 😅

What Colossal Biosciences did was examine some Dire Wolf (Aenocyon dirus) DNA and edited 14 genes of Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) DNA to match it. They even made sure to make the animals white, using a coat coloration gene expressed in Domestic Dogs, because they believe Dire Wolves would have been white (based on no published evidence; Dire Wolves were a temperate species and their coloration was more likely similar to jackals or Dholes).

DNA contains millions of genes. You can not make 20 changes in only 14 genes and have a whole other species, let alone a whole other genus.

Despite what the company is claiming, Gray Wolves are not the closest relatives of Dire Wolves, which we know from a (peer-reviewed) DNA study done in 2021. They are more close to jackals, African Wild Dogs, and Dholes than they are to wolves. Despite being around the same size, they do not share “99.5%” of the DNA of Gray Wolves; there are hundreds of thousands of genetic differences between the species.

What Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi are are three Gray Wolves that have been genetically modified to look like pop culture “Dire Wolves” from a TV Show. They do not contain any Dire Wolf DNA and they can not and will not fill the same niche that Dire Wolves did.

Apparently, Colossal is doing legit conservation work alongside their clickbait-y work, and they use the sensationalized concepts to get funding from rich idiots and celebrities. If they can get some Elon-Musk-awesomebro-type to fund their “Dire Wolf de-extinction”, they can use that money to clone critically endangered Red Wolves (Canis rufus) on the side.

Personally, I do not trust them. What they’re doing is shady and irresponsible, and even if it’s bringing in money for conservation it’s still misleading and misinforming the public about how DNA works and about how irreversible extinction actually is. It’s taking money that could be used to save the animals we still have, and instead using it to make a hairy Asian Elephant and claim that it’s a Mammoth.

There is genuine conservation potential in this type of cloning and genetics work but like,, at some point you have to decide whether the potential benefits of Colossal’s real conservation work are worth the absolute tornado of misinformation that they create for their publicity stunt “de-extinction” work. And I don’t know where that line is, but the way they present this “dire wolf” stuff just leaves a terrible taste in my mouth.

I just want to point out that they are currently being misleading about the conservation aspect. Articles keep claiming they have cloned 15 red wolves, but according to their website, they have not.

They have cloned “ghost wolves”, which are a coyote population with high red wolf content. They used the phrase “within red wolf morphospace” which means… basically that they think they look enough like red wolves. They say they’ve done this to try and introduce diverse genetics, which is going to be happening much further down the line after more genetic tinkering and selective breeding, from what I can tell.

There is a carefully managed population of 270 red wolves, descended from 14 individuals. This is a similar number to the Przewalski’s horse, which has had great success in population increase and rewilding. While Colossal’s project sounds good in theory, I do question how necessary or helpful it truly is.

I really do not trust this company as far as I can throw them. With the recent outlandish claims full of bad science (pretending we don’t define species genetically???) I am starting to really doubt any claims of aiding conservation, at least in any meaningful way.
