De-Extinction – As Undead as a Dodo (2)

 
I’m sure most of us have seen one or two of those Jurassic Park films, with reanimated T-Rexes and Velociraptors giving it large in modern day America. All rather fanciful stuff of course.

However, over the last 8 or 9 years scientists have been trying to turn fiction into fact by attempting to inject fossilised DNA that is less than 700,000 years old to be at all valid into a “closely related living species”. But that’s only the start of the jigsaw puzzle which also includes gene tranters, genome matching, cloning, surrogate birthing and parenting, to name but a few hurdles in the reanimation of an extinct species.

A biotech company called Colossal Biosciences, want to bring back the Dodo, and have almost $200m to spend on the project. Now I’m not going to bore you with all the technical bollocks. Just read the link if you’re interested. However, even though there are advocates in supporting de-extinction across a wide range of recently extinct animals, critics suggest it is a pointless exercise and that resources should be focused on saving endangered species from hunting, deforestation and perhaps even good old climate change.

Critics also feel that if scientists are successful in reanimating extinct animals it will mean the mass slaughter of all animals that maybe of some value either in terms of food or monetary value, knowing full well that scientists can simply “reanimate” them and repeat the process.

A slightly more concerning issue is a moral one and that is do we have the right playing God in terms of genetics, cloning and reanimating not only extinct animals but perhaps even dead people if their DNA remains are still accessible. And with the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) we could have the capabilities of bringing the dead back to life for good intentions or bad.

The idea of seeing dinosaurs roaming down the street will probably never ever happen given that their DNA is well over the 700,000 year validity threshold – by some 60 odd million years in fact. But what about a reanimated woolly mammoth, or a Pyrenean ibex or the good old Dodo? Or even more extreme, a reanimated Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein or a Osama bin Laden?

The concept of de-extinction should remain as dead as a Dodo. End of!

all that’s interesting

The BBC (102) and its “Fact Checker” Oscar Bentley

Who Verifies BBC Verify? Well these cunts do. You need to know this.

Daily Mail

The way BBC News and Factual works nowadays is to unleash a 24/7 deluge of variations of the same story all underpinned by its own very particular interpretation of events. The old doctrine of repeating a lie often enough until it is believed. However you have to be very skilled at this or you can come a cropper.

An example of this was the BBC’s gleeful reporting of a so called IDF attack on the al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza. Soon backed up by HAMAS supplied images of burnt and bloody children, battered and confused old ladies and piles of rubble with the remains of hospital red crosses on them. Oh those perfidious Israelis but really? Being a cynical old cunt with some experience in such matters I never believed a word of it. First thought was this is a show for the media. Why would a very professional army like the IDF waste a lot of expensive munitions and trash its own reputation? It was HAMAS people.

So it soon proved with military experts on other channels concluding that it was either a rocket misfire by HAMAS or a deliberate act by them to finger the Israelis. Satellite imagery and the measuring of angles soon proved it was a rocket fired from a known HAMAS site just outside the Hospital walls. The BBC pretended not to know this and shifted its feet a little bit to conclude that the damage could have been caused by a misfire, dropped the reporting like hot shrapnel and started to show video of different burning babies and battered and confused old ladies from other parts of Gaza.

So who is out-goebbeling Goebbels, Nazi Reichsminister for Propaganda? I give you Marianna Spring and Oscar Bentley.

Marianne Spring? BBC Disinformation and Social Media Correspondent 27 years old and recipient of 80% of all online abuse directed at BBC correspondents this year.

“We are a team of 60 investigative journalists here at the BBC; we are also a new brand, and we are a physical location above the newsroom in London. The point of the team is to verify video, to fact-check, to counter disinformation, and to analyse really complex stories so we can get to the truth of what’s going on.”

Oscar Bentley? A 25 year old Vegan Hard Left Labour activist and supporter of Just Stop Oil with a face that you just want to kick and former political runner for Jeremy Corbyn. Now installed as a BBC wonk and Political Fact Checker. (Admin I dare you to post a mugshot of the smug cunt)

A BBC Spokesperson: –  “Once people are BBC employees they are bound by the BBC’s editorial rules of impartiality, but any opinions they’ve expressed before working for the BBC are completely irrelevant

Jamie Oliver – Salt of the Earth (15)


other cunts available on request.

I live alone, and although I still wear the same size clothes I did at 20, I’ve noticed a slight thickening of the belly area. I put this down to an over-reliance of ready prepared meals, and decided to try to cook more.

So I looked about, and found this. Well, the first God knows how many are puddings, cakes etc. When you go a little further in, there’s meals, with meat, that have 5 ingredients, except for the salt, olive oil and ground pepper.

Excuse me, are they not ingredients?
What are they then? Road maps?
Directions on how to assemble an IKEA asbo bookcase?

He’s a fucking annoying cunt.

Queers for Palestine

A ‘turkeys vote for Christmas’ cunting for the those strange groups of people calling themselves ‘Queers for Palestine’.

It seems to me that in the bizarre world of culture wars and identity politics in the West, social justice warriors tend to see issues in simplistic terms; you’re ‘an oppressor’, or you’re one of ‘the oppressed’. It’s a binary choice, with little or no attempt to consider the nuances or complexities of a given situation.

So the thinking goes that alphabet ‘community’ members are ‘oppressed’. Palestinians are ‘oppressed’. Ergo, in an absurd conflation, ‘queers’ must be ‘for’ Palestine. Never mind the fact that if you were actually in Gaza, an admission of being ‘queer’ would likely bring down on yourself a proper kicking at best from Hamas, and at worst, an invitation to your own torture and death. You’d probably be looking to flee the very place you’re expressing solidarity with. Oh, the irony.

I don’t know, maybe it’s me, but I’m sitting here thinking ‘what planet do these people live on?’. It ain’t planet Earth.

Carol Vorderman (7)

Carol has many assets, some of which I would like to strip with both hands. She has a brilliant mathematical mind and has filled many a wank bank for years.

All those positives apart her recent vomit inducing venture into virtue signalling is as laughable as it is emetic. A mathematical “genius” who has made a living shilling for loan sharks. After Tony B Liar legalised advertising by these scum suckers she didn’t see a huge problem developing, she saw an opportunity.

Vorderman then spent years assisting the separation of desperate and/or stupid people from their money and their homes with usury interest rates, in collaborating with these bastards. All done in order to line her and their amply full pockets.

Did her huge intellect not prod the last relic of her minuscule conscience when seeing interest rates in triple and quadruple digits advertised on daytime TV?

Seriously she expects us to believe that she has had a damascene conversion brought on by the government sinking nearly as low as her?

Go jiggle your ampleness on ice or eat some fucking bugs if you need a career revival and stop with the self righteous bull shit. You spent years demonstrating your ability to go low enough to limbo dance under a snakes bollocks while wearing a top hat.

We remain unconvinced by your recent application for sainthood.

Carol Vorderman Is A Cunt Aint She
All the gushing over this saggy titted trollop by the usual suspects. Alan Carr and that other bender Joe Lycett telling her how strong she is for sticking to her guns on the Government.

BBC Radio Wales fucked her off for breaking impartiality rules. Well hopefully the BBC will tell that big eared twat Linicunt to fuck off as well.

Now don’t get me wrong about the shower of shit we have in charge of the country but I dread to think what it is going to be like under Kweer Starmer. Why do celebrities all think they know what is right for the country, and why are they all leftie wankers.

The old Dr Who, Dame Kelly Rugmuncher Holmes, the presenter of Drag Race, fuck me i don’t think there is a straight one amongst them. anyway have a read below.
