Miami is still a city where the stars come out to play – and on Wednesday one shone brighter than anyone else“Water so clear you can see to the bottom, hundred thousand dollar cars e’ybody got ‘em. Ain’t no surprise in the club to see Sly Stallone, Miami my second home.” So said Will Smith, and the actor-rapper’s observations ring true to this day. Miami is still a city where the stars come out to play. On this night however, and unfortunately from a Scottish perspective, Vinícius Júnior came to play his way through their defence.Just as thousands of Scots colonised Boston, so it appeared that the entire upper middle class of São Paulo had come to Florida for this big game. Brazilian celebrities had followed too, the most obvious being Ronaldinho who not only officially signed for a third division Italian side while in the city, but was afforded a VVIP spot just outside the players’ tunnel where he could greet the players, and manager Carlo Ancelotti, as they made their way out.

Thousands of previously undetected tiny earthquakes have revealed the edge of a miniature tectonic plate slamming into Alaska near the Denali Fault.The microplate could be focusing seismic energy in a straight line in a region under the Alaska Range of mountains, potentially contributing to large earthquakes and the development of small volcanoes in the area. The Yakutat microplate is an ocean plateau that is thicker than the Pacific oceanic crust surrounding it. Formed by volcanoes tens of millions of years ago, this block of crust is now being pushed under the North American Plate in Alaska in a process called subduction. But because it is thicker and more buoyant than the surrounding oceanic crust, the microplate pushes up the Alaska Range, which includes North America's highest mountain, Mount McKinley (also known as Denali). "Being able to identify where the Yakutat microplate is in the subsurface has helped us understand the tectonics," said Meghan Miller, the study's first author and a seismologist at the Australian National University. Study co-author Meghan Miller deploys a temporary seismic station. The data from these stations revealed a hidden microplate's location.

But the precise location of the edge of the plate that has already subducted under the continent has been hard to pinpoint. Miller and her colleagues installed seven new seismometers south of the Denali Fault, which runs through the Alaska Range. This is a tectonically active region, most famous for a 2002 magnitude 7.9 earthquake that was felt as far away as Seattle.

Instead, it was unmasked by about 3,000 newly discovered minuscule earthquakes clustered in a clean line running from northwest to southeast for 155 miles (250 kilometers) under the Denali Fault. The "very sharp, linear pattern" also aligns with a series of small volcanic cones and rock-type changes in the deep subsurface, Miller and her colleagues reported in the new study, published June 4 in the journal The Seismic Record.The researchers suspect that the leading edge of the plate is focusing seismic energy toward the surface. The plate's location also aligns with the initiation point of the 2002 Denali quake, which started on a nearby fault, Miller told Live Science, but exploring that idea further will require computational modeling. "What we were postulating is that the edge of the Yakutat plate is influencing all these different types of processes," Miller said.

Sony is going all out for GTA 6 marketingThe PS5 homepage, PS Store, and PS App have been updated with a GTA 6 themePre-orders have officially begunSony has gone full Grand Theft Auto 6 marketing mode as pre-orders for the most anticipated game of all time officially begin.The wait is finally over, GTA 6 pre-orders are now live, and in anticipation of the game's release later this year, Sony is showing that it definitely has a favorite by updating the PlayStation 5 homepage, PS Store, and PS App with a new GTA 6 theme.Now, when players boot up their PS5, they're greeted by a full-screen animation of the game's logo, before it fades into an ad for the game on the console's welcome hub. When navigating to the PS Store, the background now features co-protagonists Jason and Lucia, and the "Must See" UI has been updated with purple boxes that provide details on the Ultimate Edition, trailers, the Vintage Vice City and GTA+ pre-order bonuses, and a way to pre-order.GTA 6 is now the first thing you see when you boot up your PS5, they made an entirely new UI for this, insane. pic.twitter.com/xmz8h6RLzIJune 24, 2026As spotted by Shinobi602, Sony has also updated the PS App logo with GTA 6 branding. Instead of the blue icon, it's been replaced by the game's sunset theme and palm trees.It's clear that Sony is going all out to maximize the GTA 6 marketing, and it's not even a first-party exclusive. It also shared in a post yesterday that "thanks to a close partnership" with the studio, "GTA 6 will play best on PS5" and take advantage of PS5’s features "to deliver a deeply engaging single-player experience." @techradar ♬ original sound - TechRadar GTA 6 officially launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X and Series S, and will cost $79.99 / AU$129.95 / £69.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 / AU$159.95 / £89.99 for the Ultimate Edition. Pre-loads begin on November 12.It's also confirmed that physical copies won't have a disc and only include a digital download code in the box.
