They’re modified grey wolves, Colossal Biosciences had a separate project on red wolves.

Pretty sure it’s 3, they have a history of claiming to resurrect extinct species when they’re just modifying existing species to be a little more similar to the extinct one.
They claimed to bring back dire wolves but they’re more similar to grey wolves. They make the argument that the genes they used are what most makes a dire wolf a dire wolf, but it’s controversial.
I also remember hearing they said they would bring back a population of red wolves by extracting red wolf DNA that had been absorbed into a coyote population, but seemed to ignore the existing red wolves (which could do with extra genetic diversity) and worked using coyotes as a base.

Possibly, I’m waiting until a motive is confirmed.

Everybody described him as being withdrawn, it seems like nobody but his roommates knew anything about him, but those roommates haven’t talked as much. It’s like none of the people that were physically around him were part of his world, and they describe him as being online a lot.
I think he was more shaped by the internet than the people physically around him. Especially since he was described as being apolitical until after he left his parents’ home.

No, but I also hear that there are a lot of leftists with right wing parents, especially in Utah. Maybe that was why he moved out, I don’t know.
Maybe he was more right wing instead. I don’t know. I’m not the person who was saying he was leftist. I was just pointing out that he wasn’t a registered Republican.

Not on its own, but he’s not exactly a registered Republican either. Just wanted to correct that one thing.

Yes, and the voter registration is for a Tyler Robinson, not a Tyler James Robinson.
The Snopes fact check has a screenshot of the registration of Tyler James Robinson.

By the way, why do you think mRNA vaccines are genetic therapy?
- Comment on Or in 2025. Looking at you, Florida. 1 month ago:
RNA vaccines may be relatively new, but they aren’t genetic therapy. It does not get integrated into your DNA.
- Comment on ABS decision to reuse biased, coercive Census religion question puts human rights in the spotlight 1 month ago:
On the one hand, changing the way the question is asked might make it more accurate as one snapshot in time. On the other, it makes comparisons between years harder, and the change could mask other religious changes currently happening in the community.
I’m also not sure if asking if they’re religious first and only asking for which if they say yes, won’t have no bias in a different way. I used to know people who would say: “The Bible is truth and not religion”, and those people would be counted as not being religious if the changes were to occur. Then again, those people are rare, and might feel compelled to answer that they are religious anyway, even if they don’t think of themselves as such.

I keep hearing that Cities Skylines II has constant bugfixes because each fix reveals new bugs. It’s better, but still divisive. More people continue playing the original, according to Steam’s statistics.

Mammals are just jealous of the long enlightened reign of the dinosaurs, and want to paint the previous dynasty in a bad light to justify usurping the throne.

To clarify, Lidia claimed that both the racist no campaign and the yes campaign drowned out the progressive yes campaign.
- Comment on If Australians knew the whole truth about Indigenous history, Lidia Thorpe’s royal outburst would not have been a shock | Celeste Liddle 11 months ago:
Lidia Thorpe has also believed before the vote that a No vote would prove Australia is racist, just as a yes vote would prove Australia is racist. Given that, I think Lidia would agree with the author here.
- Comment on The problem with GIMP 1 year ago:
They’ve been working on GIMP 3.0 for over a decade, which has non-destructive editing, as well as an upgrade to the UI toolkit (although actual UI changes are still to-do). They don’t want it to be this way, development has just been insanely slow. Mostly due to lack of developers and donations, although that has been changing recently.
They planned to have GIMP 3.0 out by May, but with so many delays it might be a few months yet.
- Comment on Greens Support Digital ID Bill if Amendments Passed 1 year ago:
Since I use Ubuntu Touch, I’m a bit frustrated with the state of government apps only supporting Android and IOS. Recently managed to finally run Android apps on it, but they still don’t all work perfectly. I understand that it’s not something most people know about let alone use, but I fear that if any government app becomes essential that we lock in the existing duopoly, at least in Australia. At least if it was open source it could perhaps be ported over.
