I am bewildered that this labour of Sisyphus is being carried out by volunteers, while Southern Water, which has admitted responsibility for the catastrophe, is doing nothing to remediate it.
‘We feel we’re fighting a losing battle’: the race to remove millions of plastic beads from Camber Sands
A huge cleanup effort has seen volunteers working to remove beads by hand and machine. They can only wait and see the extent of damage to wildlife and dune habitat

In a Brazilian tax-fraud case, the judge stitches voices from prosecutor, defense, defendant, witness, and federal police, and the ruling ends in acquittal. Rodrigues & Azevedo analyze how polyphony drives this judgment. #langsky #linguistics doi.org/10.25189/267...
The image has a light lilac background. At the top left, in small uppercase letters, it reads “READ IN CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA.” Centered in large dark letters is the title “POLYPHONY IN A CRIMINAL SENTENCE,” with POLYPHONY in italics. In the lower left corner, there is a small semicircular icon with short radiating lines, resembling a sound or expansion symbol — the visual mark of Cadernos de Linguística.
