Yeah, I read this article and a similar one the other day and it sure sounds to me like he just cross bred some sheep and none of the people involved know what cloning is. He apparently cloned the sheep, but then used it to breed hybrids? That he sold based on percent of the originals DNA? If you can clone in the first place (doubtful, obviously), why are you then breeding anything?

One small rant I’d like to make as this article glosses over his bullshit of a sentence. This country is absolutely fucking terrible about enforcing poaching, wildlife trafficking, or any other number of clear degradations to our natural environment. Ignoring the fact that he most likely didn’t even hybridize anything, because ‘paid off a hunter for the ram’s testicle’ doesn’t inspire confidence as to the care of the sperm cells; he still was illegally trafficking wild animals and their body parts with the intent of raising invasive animals for distribution. And yet, he not only isn’t even getting a slap on the wrist, the judge in the case is fawning over him like he outsmarted all those fancy college kids by cloning a sheep in his barn with nothing more than his own wits and god on his side.

Tying deregulation to improving birth rates is definitely one of the weirder libertarian takes I’ve heard, pure Peter Thiel I’m sure.

Absolutely love The Fall.

Those are lyrics from a limp biskit song, with the line said by the patient being the next line in the song. But that line is also from a song by the who, in which he stutters the generation part. Joke is he’s trying to get rid of a stutter, but in failing says another songs lyric. Hope that wasn’t too circular in the explanation.

Which is why, as the free market capitalists they are, they went straight to the govt who magically doubled the cost of these vehicles via tariffs. Gotta love competition.

Probably Late Night With The Devil. I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet but I want to.

Haha, exactly. Surprised it isn’t a live action ‘Barbie 2: Return to Kenland’ because marketing says a male lead polls better.

The ‘Twenty thousand years of this, seven more to go’ always clicked so hard for me.

Binders full of sofas.

Look at this douchecanoe sailing up in his douche canoe.

He’s always been the one to say the quiet part out loud.

With somehow worse graphics.

Henson expects La Niña, which is associated with cooler temperatures, to take effect later this year and subsequently reduce average temperatures.

“Even if next year doesn’t bring similar records, we know what the long term forecast is, and that’s warmer and warmer over time,” Henson said, adding: “When you turn up the burners and leave them on for a century, you’re going to see the water boil.”

When it’s 0.1 degrees cooler next year and it gets reported as a cooling trend.

Edit: I guess that quote was from the NBC article about the same, here’s archive:

Trump getting immunity from the SC only to squander it by allowing discovery isn’t my first choice, but damn would that be hilarious.

Haha, yeah as soon as I got to 5 I thought there’s where the baseline has been since childhood.

A lot of states (mine included) have already had their primaries, so if he steps aside then those states will not have had a say in selecting the democratic candidate. I’m guessing the talking point will then shift to something along the lines of ‘I didn’t get a choice in who the next candidate will be, so I’m not voting’ or calling for all states to re-run their primaries like that’s an option.

Should he decide to step aside, it’ll be fun watching the pivot from ‘Biden should step down’ to ‘how could the dnc just pick someone like that, how undemocratic!’ Same people, same agenda.

And the enshittification of Spotify rolls on.
