Body size estimation of Late Cretaceous octopuses. The graph shows an allometric relationship between the length of the jaw and mantle in long-bodied species of extant finned octopus. The name of the corresponding species is shown along each growth curve. The sizes of N. jeletzkyi and N. haggarti based on their largest specimen are indicated by black vertical lines. Reconstruction of these two species, the extant giant squid, and gigantic vertebrate predators in the Late Cretaceous are shown with their maximum total length.

In 1970, Marshall McLuhan stated that “World War III is a guerrilla information war with no division between military and civilian participation.” – #Culture is Our #Business, p. 66. #sensemaking #history #warfare
A tweet on a black background with white text, posted by Dave Troy ([@]davetroy) with a sunflower emoji next to his name and a circular profile picture. The tweet reads: “The biggest mistake the West made the last 10 years was treating 'disinformation' as something different from 'war.' We have been in an information war, which repeatedly also has become kinetic, the entire time. And we have all been combatants. This is one reason... the last several years have been so exhausting. From Syria, MH-17 to Ferguson, Freddie Gray, Trump and Jan6th — all of that was part of one seamless theater of information and kinetic warfare. And we were trying to fix it with Snopes and browser extensions. If one good thing comes out of this it will be to teach everyone what information warfare really looks like and how low-intensity conflict works. And when we are experiencing it, to know to address it before it turns fully kinetic. Because it always will.”

army_talk_fascism: It would work under the guise of "super-patriotism" and "super-Americanism." Fascist leaders are neither stupid nor naive. They know that they must hand out a line that "sells." Huey Long is said to have remarked that if fascism came to America, it would be on a program of "Americanism." #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

Post by Frosted Poptart reads as follows: Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23. She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24. Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method." It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her. There is a sepia portrait of Alice Augusta Ball who is a very beautiful young black woman with neatly styled medium length hair wearing tasteful formal dress including a blazer and high collared blouse with what appears to be a florette clasp closing at the neck
