Anime Review: Mashle
In a world where magical abilities are the norm, a non-magical guy uses his supreme physical strength. Action-packed. Simple and crude mild parody. Still enjoyable.

Study: Sharks Need Buddies Too
A study by N.D. Marosi et al titled “Rolling in the deep: drivers of social preferences and social interactions within a bull shark aggregation in Fiji” posted on 17 March 2026 shows that bull sharks, Carcharhinus leucas, are perhaps more socially complex than the “lone shark” image.
