Quote:Human-Octopus Hybrid From the Future Speaks During Accidental Alert at Elementary School, Prompts Lockdown  
"Picked my daughter up from school and she comes running up to me from the bus. 'Dad, dad, dad, there's an octopus that's gonna smash my eyes with a hammer,'" Scott Summers, a father of a 6-year-old at Woodland Primary, told KGW.

Quote:So how is an octopus like a human? No, this is not a Lewis Carroll riddle. Even though it may seem like octopuses could not be any more different from us, our genes share one major thing that no one has seen in any other animal. The answer also sounds like something out of Alice and Wonderland: protocadherins. Or rather, lots of protocadherins.ARE OCTOPUSES MORE HUMAN THAN WE ARE?

Quote:Is there an older name for Cecaelia?  “Octopi do not play a major role in most Native American mythology-- most coastal tribes consider the octopus to be just another type of shellfish. In some Northwest Coast tribes of British Columbia and Alaska, the octopus plays a more prominent role as a medicine animal, considered to have formidable powers over the weather or over sickness and health.”

Quote:Cecaelia And Octomaid: Myths, Origin, Facts & Powers Cecaelia have incredible agility, as they can quickly move between different movements with little effort. This agility is what makes them so formidable in combat; they can dodge attacks, swing from things, and perform lots of complicated maneuvers effortlessly. Cecaelia have razor-sharp teeth at the front of their mouth that give them a powerful bite. Cecaelia are able to control their muscles in their limbs and digits extremely well – sometimes even better than most other beings. Cecaelia have superior reflexes which allow them to react to spells and interactive elements quicker than most people; they can also react to falling objects quickly before they hit the ground or do something else dangerous. Cecaelia are able to be physically active for much longer periods than others – making it easier for them to survive at the bottom of the ocean where there is scarce light. They also see “perfectly” in an environment that usually has no light sources at all: the sea’s deep waters. Cecaelia are fast swimmers thanks to their adaptation to ocean water, capable of moving freely without any resistance from currents while they glide through water effortlessly. The waves aren’t a problem for cecaelia either: since they’re adapted to life underwater, they are fully resistant.

Quote:First aid treatment is pressure on the wound and artificial respiration once the paralysis has disabled the victim's respiratory muscles, which often occurs within minutes of being bitten. Because the venom primarily kills through paralysis, victims are frequently saved if artificial respiration is started and maintained before marked cyanosis and hypotension develop. Respiratory support until medical assistance arrives will improve the victim's chances of survival.[24][20] Definitive hospital treatment involves placing the patient on a ventilator until the toxin is removed by the body.[20] Victims who survive the first 24 hours usually recover completely.[25]

It’s easy to mistake Watters for giving credence because that’s actually what he did. He gave it credit for doing a lot of “great stuff.” Even Fox News’s Emily DeCiccio has written QAnon centers on beliefs that are “baseless.” Watters’ comments were irresponsible. Let’s see if Fox News does anything about it.[Image: https://www.poynter.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/AP_20182642473546-1500x1000.jpg]

Quote:Attempt to link Mitt Romney to alleged 'recruiter' of accused sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein misleading
 

• Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah had eight years of business experience before co-founding the Bain Capital investment firm in 1984.
  
• British publisher Robert Maxwell was among the early investors in Romney’s first investment fund at Bain. 
  
• Romney had already established himself in business by the time Robert Maxwell gave him money — and Maxwell’s investment was not the first in the fund.
  
  
• Robert Maxwell died before his daughter began working with Epstein. So any alleged connection between Romney and Epstein lacks evidence. 
  

Quote:Jeffrey Epstein donated to several Democrats throughout 1990s and early 2000s

Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier charged with sex trafficking, has been a prolific donor to various Democratic campaigns and party committees over the past couple decades, including contributions to some who are now calling for the resignation of a Trump cabinet member who cut a deal for Epstein in a similar case more than a decade earlier.

John Kerry, Hillary Clinton's successor as former President Barack Obama's secretary of state, also was a recipient of Epstein's donations during his time as a U.S. senator in Massachusetts in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Quote:Biden’s top scientist met Jeffrey Epstein twice. It’s now complicating his confirmation.

Epstein claimed on one of his websites that his foundation had sponsored “many prominent scientists,” including Lander. A spokesperson for Lander told The New York Times in 2019 that the boast wasn’t true. (Two other scientists whom Epstein claimed to have sponsored also said Epstein had never supported their work.)

“Well, first is the the actual pathologist who did the autopsy did not determine that was a suicide. They couldn’t. They said it looked more like a homicide,” responded Epstein. “So this point, the question becomes, what investigating was done in a matter of days to make them come out with that determination. And it turns out that because it was called a suicide, there doesn’t seem to have been an investigation.”

White House science adviser resigns and acknowledges ‘disrespectful and demeaning’ behavior after investigation[Image: https://media.cnn.com/api/v1/images/stellar/prod/220207093432-eric-lander-file-2021.jpg?c=16x9&q=h_653,w_1160,c_fill/f_webp]
The resignation of the President’s science adviser and director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy comes just a day after damning reports surfaced that he had been the subject of an internal investigation late last year after a complaint was filed under the Executive Office of the President’s Safe and Respectful Workplace Policy. The investigation, first reported by Politico, found “credible evidence” of violations of the policy and “corrective action was taken consistent with those findings,” a spokesperson for OSTP told CNN. It did not find credible evidence of gender-based discrimination, the spokesperson noted.
