Never mind the goals, there are some fabulously over excited commentators here. In which regard, I especially commend numbers 10 & 12 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 bbc.co.uk/sport/football… #scotland #football

The ocean floor is slowly turning into a landfill For decades, most concern about ocean pollution has focused on floating plastic and waste washing up on beaches. However, scientists now warn that the largest buildup of debris is happening out of sight, deep beneath the ocean’s surface. A global review led by researchers at the University of Barcelona found that the seafloor is accumulating vast amounts of human-made waste, in some places at levels comparable to landfills. In the Strait of Messina, between Italy and Sicily, researchers documented over one million pieces of debris per square mile (around 400,000 per square kilometer), making it one of the most polluted seafloor regions ever recorded. Debris such as plastic bags, fishing nets, metal, glass, and discarded equipment does not simply sink straight down. Ocean currents, storms, and underwater canyons transport waste from coastlines into deep-sea basins thousands of feet below the surface. Plastics account for about 62% of seafloor litter and can travel long distances before settling. This is a global issue. Plastic has been discovered nearly 36,000 feet deep (about 10,900 meters) in the Mariana Trench, the deepest known point in the ocean. If current trends continue, scientists estimate the ocean could contain over 3 billion metric tons of waste within the next 30 years. The impact on marine life is severe. Nearly 700 marine species are affected by seafloor debris through entanglement, ingestion, or exposure to toxic chemicals. Abandoned fishing gear can continue trapping animals for decades, a process known as ghost fishing. Because this pollution occurs far from human view, it is often overlooked. But what sinks into the ocean does not vanish — it accumulates, persists, and alters ecosystems long after it disappears from sight.

@sciencegirl But they'll never enjoy the irregular artistry, or thrill to the risky depths, of a British pothole. Nor enjoy the unique frisson afforded by a broken axle and punctured tyre on a day out. Poor Japan, paying decent amounts of income tax for what exactly? 🤔

Japan takes road work to another level

A fine piece of dissective journalism from @BowenBBC which diagnoses and prognoses the causes, effect and consequences of the war against Iran. bbc.com/news/articles/… #IranWar

Clever Mr A. What a great story! #tennis

@XtraLeicester It is a shame that Vardy and Tonto were never really played together at either club or national level, although the chance existed at both. It seems a hell of an opportunity missed. Vardy, like Crouch before him, could score against anybody but was underrrated.

@allenanalysis @noneejudi They could have AI to replace the president...or just I 😏

🚨 Melania Trump this morning: Proposes an AI system—“Plato”—as a replacement for teachers. “Literature, art, science, mathematics, history… the entire corpus of knowledge… at home.” Replace teachers? With a machine? AI over teachers. That’s the idea. Instead of calling for better pay for our nation's educators/heroes. Sad day!

They should have been so good! As it was...😖 Friday afternoon special anybody? #cars

@AlanEyre1 @anneapplebaum This description seems nothing but accurate. Similar posts almost always drift into hyperbole and perjorative invective. This does not. It is an accurate description of historically traceable, repeating behaviour. And is all the more worrying for the world as a result.

spot-on, from @anneapplebaum Money quote: "Donald Trump does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places." "He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions. He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong. Instead, he acts on whim and impulse, and when he changes his mind—when he feels new whims and new impulses—he simply lies about whatever he said or did before." theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…
