Meet Daisy – an AI-generated grandma created by British phone company Virgin Media O2 as the ultimate scam buster. Daisy's sole purpose is to talk to scammers all day so real people don't have to.
Daisy made her debut on Nov. 14 and has already had more than 1,000 conversations with scammers so far, the longest lasting around 40 minutes, frustrating them with her tech-illiteracy and wasting their time by telling irrelevant stories about her grandchildren.

Suzanne Soomers husband Alan Hamel worked with a company called Realbotix to create a, quote, "digital twin" of Suzanne who died in 2023. It mimics both her voice and speech patterns using recordings and footage of her. (and is..(sarcastically) sooooooo real looking)
He says it was her idea...but here's the weirdest part Hamel claims he has a, quote, "long-range plan" to get permission to get a John Ritter version made, and do some, quote, "additional episodes" of "Three's Company".
Joyce DeWitt is still alive. She's 75 years old and is probably really creeped out.

Yesterday we talked about keeping dust out of your home. Today, someone asked Reddit to name the top things that make your place seem gross to guests.
Nosy, judgy guests.....
and yes dust made the list, especially in spots that are easy to clean. If everything's dusty, it means you tidy up but haven't deep cleaned in a while.
The bathroom. They'll look around while sitting there, and they will judge you. Toothpaste splatter on the mirror is a big one.
Doorknobs and light switches. They're touched a lot, so the area around them can start looking gross. You're there every day, so you might not notice.
Dirty dishes. You can get away with it if it looks like you just haven't cleaned up from breakfast. But a full sink of dirty dishes is too much.
Old food in the fridge. Especially if they open it and there's a smell. Your whole place could be spotless, and you'll still seem disgusting.
Dirty floors. If you've got crumbs, grime, or lots of pet hair all over the place, you probably don't clean a lot. Sticky floors are the worst.
The smell. Taking the trash out before guests show up is always a good call. Also, try putting an air freshener by your front door. It makes a good first impression, because it hits their nose as soon as they walk in.

Happy Hump Day! If you're just working for the weekend, you're not alone . . .
Another new poll found burnout is on the rise. 33% of workers say they're even more burnt out than they were a year ago.
The top things that cause it are heavy workloads and long hours . . . a lack of support or recognition from your manager . . . and feeling like there's no room for growth.
The top five tips for managers who want to avoid burnout are: Encourage people to take their vacation days . . . manage projects better . . . foster open communication . . . let workers know they're appreciated . . . and hire more people to help.

A United Airlines flight from L.A. to Shanghai had to turn around over the Pacific on Saturday, because a pilot forgot his passport. They did a U-turn an hour and 45 minutes in . . . headed to in San Francisco . . . swapped out the crew . . . and landed in Shanghai six hours late.
United reportedly gave each passenger a $15 meal voucher for the trouble.
