American politics is a lot more like the WWE these days. This week, the House Oversight Committee went off the rails as warring Nancy Mace, pictured far right, fumed at opposition Democrat Jasmine Crockett for using the term “child” in reference to her.
The raving Republican jumped in, yelling: “I am no child. Do not call me a child. I am no child. Don’t even start, I am a grown woman, 47 years old.”
Crockett, above, tried to continue as Mace spoke over her, before screaming: “I am not a child. I am a grown woman. If you want to take it outside…” Yep, that’s right – Mace wanted the debate settled with car park fisticuffs. Oversight? More like an overhand right.
Any American who has given up on driving hotdog maker Oscar Mayer’s Wienermobile must not fret. Nut firm Planters is offering a new opportunity to drive something just as absurdly oversized – a peanut that is 26ft long.
Being interrupted is really annoying, right? Even AI podcast hosts agree – or at least, that’s what Google’s users have found out.
Last year, its NotebookLM went viral with its AI-generated podcast hosts. But when it introduced Interactive Mode, things got a little nasty because users could “call in” and interrupt the bots mid-chat.
The AI hosts responded with attitude, leading Google to quickly realise that their bots sounded like they needed a chill pill. They have since carried out some “friendliness tuning”.
The family of an Oregon man who suffered severe burns when his face caught fire during surgery is suing the hospital for £735,000.
A Chicago judge, who is fresh on the bench, faces being reassigned after alledgedly sending a racist meme to a colleague.
Judge Caroline Glennon-Goodman, pictured, shared a photo of a fake toy called ‘My First Ankle Monitor’ featuring a black toddler with an electronic bracelet. Her caption? “My husband’s idea of Christmas humour.”
Apparently, the joke didn’t land when she accidentally sent it to a fellow judge.
Two Texan mums in North Houston are questioning a policy at Herrera Elementary that slaps parents with a $1-per-minute late fee if they pick up their kids after school. Apparently, officials have decided to turn pick-up time into an earner, where every minute counts as a dollar. Now, parents are demanding to know if the school’s got a secret side-hustle or if this is just how they fund the next field trip.
