Octopus Killer moves_Deep in the High Seas
Cloud ink, or simply ink, is a defense mechanism used by octopuses and other cephalopods like squids and cuttlefish. Here's what it is and the role it serves:
- **Composition**: The ink is composed of melanin, the same pigment that gives color to human skin and hair, and mucus¹.
- **Function**: When threatened, an octopus releases this ink to create a dark cloud in the water. This cloud can confuse predators by obscuring their view, allowing the octopus to escape².
- **Additional Effects**: The ink may also interfere with the predator's sense of smell and taste, further aiding in the octopus's escape². It's not poisonous, but it can cause irritation if it gets into the eyes of the predator².
- **Risks**: Interestingly, if an octopus doesn't quickly clear the area after releasing the ink, it could be harmed by its own ink cloud².
This adaptation is one of the many fascinating aspects of octopus biology, showcasing their intelligence and resourcefulness in avoiding predators.

President Biden Plans to Provide Student Loan Debt Relief
President Biden announced on Monday a plan to provide significant relief to over 30 million borrowers burdened by student loan debt, aiming to fulfill a campaign promise and potentially appeal to younger voters.
Biden unveiled the proposal at Madison Area Technical College, marking his third Wisconsin visit this year and 10th since becoming president. The initiative is an expansion of federal student loan relief through the Higher Education Act, designed to address the soaring costs of higher education.
Unlike a previous proposal that faced legal challenges, this plan targets specific groups of borrowers, aiming to cancel some or all federal student loans for millions of Americans.
The plan's includes:
•Canceling up to $20,000 in interest for borrowers whose balances have inflated due to accrued interest, benefiting around 25 million borrowers.
•An additional 2 million borrowers would have their loans automatically canceled if eligible but have not applied for other forgiveness programs.
•Borrowers repaying undergraduate loans for at least 20 years or graduate school loans for 25 years.
•Students enrolled in programs with low financial value or affected by institutional misconduct.
•Borrowers facing financial hardship.
