Marks & Spencer launches new summer drinks – and they're perfect for BBQ season
With their new summer dips and pistachio chocolate bar, it's safe to say Marks & Spencer's Foodhall is the place to go for picnic treats and BBQ snacks alike this summer. Of course, you'll need something tasty to wash down the Green Goddess salad and Chicken Caesar Dip picky tea with, and as ever good old M&S hasn't let us down.
If you can't manage a Spanish getaway this summer, then you can bring a taste of the Mediterranean to your own back garden thanks to M&S' new Sangria drinks. Featuring a sparkling twist on the fruity classic, there are two varieties of the drink available including a traditional red version and a refreshing white.

Announcing the new releases on their Instagram account, M&S describes the drinks as the 'perfect sips in the sunshine', making them a great pairing for the sunny weather we've been seeing in the UK recently.
Priced at £7 per bottle, the lightly sparkling drinks can be purchased right now from M&S Foodhalls and via Ocado, where you can snap them up from the comfort of your own home.
Sangria fans will no doubt be excited to hear the white version contains refreshing orange, lime, and papaya flavours, whilst the bolder red is described as having 'a divine balance of fruity flavours.'
Whether you choose to sip yours whilst sharing a tasty tapas board with friends or you fancy an early evening tipple in the garden with some salty snacks, we reckon this is one M&S buy that you won't want to miss out on.£7.00 at ocado.com£7.00 at ocado.com
Earlier this month, M&S fans also went wild for the brand's new super summery Limoncello drink that's perfect for drinking with ice or mixed into a citrus flavoured cocktail. With the brand announcing they're declaring Friday 27th June as 'National Picky Bits Day' we'd say it's a great excuse for ditching the oven in favour of al fresco dining and a cheeky weekend tipple. You're welcome!

Sam LaPorta, wife get blessed by Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican in ‘special moment'
The Lions might be extra blessed this year. Or at least Sam LaPorta. The Detroit tight end and his wife, Callahan, visited St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City and were blessed by Pope Leo XIV, a Chicago native. The newlyweds, who tied the knot on June 14, traveled to the Vatican soon after, as captured in pictures on LaPorta's Instagram. 4 Sam LaPorta and his wife Callahan get blessed by Pope Leo XIV. Instagram/_slaporta and callahanlaporta 4 Sam LaPorta and his wife Callahan get blessed by Pope Leo XIV. Instagram/_slaporta and callahanlaporta 'Thank you to a very busy man for blessing me and my bride,' LaPorta wrote in the caption of his post. 'A special moment we'll never forget.' Leo, named pope in May, and his sports allegiances have been written and discussed at length, which included the unearthing of footage of him at the 2005 World Series supporting his beloved White Sox. The White Sox have leaned into the pope's South Side baseball fandom, creating a mural inside Guaranteed Rate Field and opening up a standing offer to throw out the first pitch at a game. 4 Sam LaPorta of the Detroit Lions takes the field prior to an NFL Football game against the Washington Commanders at Ford Field on January 18, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan. Getty Images In late May, Vice President J.D. Vance gifted Leo, whose given name is Robert Francis Prevost, a Bears jersey with XIV and 'Pope Leo' draped across the back of the dark uniform. 'Good choice,' Leo told the vice president. New Bears head coach — and former Lions offensive coordinator — Ben Johnson said in early May that he 'heard rumblings, but that hasn't been discussed too much firsthand' on the pope's football fandom. As for the Lions, they finished last year with a sterling 15-2 regular season before getting bounced in the divisional round in the playoffs by the Commanders. 4 Sam LaPorta of the Detroit Lions catches a pass for a touchdown during the second quarter against the Commanders in the NFC Divisional Playoff at Ford Field on January 18, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan. Getty Images LaPorta followed up his Pro Bowl rookie campaign with 60 receptions for 726 yards and seven touchdowns. Now, Detroit will be without both Johnson and former defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn — the new Jets head coach — as it looks to maintain supremacy in the NFC North.

Two bruisers busted after illegal ‘fight club' at Long Island park broken up by cops
The first rule of Fight Club is — you don't talk about Fight Club. Two Long Islanders were arrested over the weekend after pummeling one another at a park in front of a cheering crowd during a face-off promoted on social media. More than 70 spectators in their early to mid-20s packed Melville's Walt Whitman Park to catch a glimpse of what police called an unauthorized 'fight club' early Sunday evening, according to Newsday. But the clash was cut short by the cops — who caught wind of the event after it was publicized on Instagram, the report said. The crowd quickly scattered, but the battered brawlers stayed put and were cuffed by officers. 3 Suffolk County police broke up a 'fight club' meeting at a park in Melville, N.Y. Google Maps The duo, Finley McCloskey, 19, and Jake Zimilies, 19, both residents of Northport, were issued appearance tickets charging them with unlawful assembly, according to the Suffolk County Police Department. 3 About 70 people gathered around the fight to watch. Google Maps The Instagram account originally used to boost the fight online was deactivated, police said. The idea of a 'fight club' was first popularized by the 1996 novel 'Fight Club' by Chuck Palahniuk, which he based off of his own experiences participating in the illicit organizations. 3 The illicit 'fight club' was advertised on a now-deactivated Instagram account. Google Maps The book was later adapted into the Oscar-nominated film under the same title in 1999 starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. It is unclear if the gaggle of wannabe fighters were inspired by the fictional tale, or if they obeyed the sacred nine rules of Fight Club — including the requirement that all first-time attendees participate in one brawl. The Post reached out to the SCPD for clarity. The Big Apple is no stranger to brawling bonanzas. In September, a migrant shelter in Queens became overrun by a teen 'fight club' that terrorized neighbors in the middle of the night. Another Queens shelter saw a similar disaster in early 2024 after migrants living there formed a fighting ring in a nearby McDonald's parking lot.

This New A.I. Trend Asks "Where's Mama?"
This New A.I. Trend Asks "Where's Mama?" Since the birth of internet chat bots, users have been toying with machine logic. We ask our Alexas and Siris a myriad of hypothetical questions on a daily basis, sometimes yielding alarming- or endearing results. Though sites like ChatGPT and Google Gemini are able to answer simple queries in an instant, users have discovered a way that they lack nuance- and it's oddly charming. This screen cap posted by user @ultravioletllove via Instagram poses the question to Google AI, "Help I'm a baby burger where's my mom." The AI is informed enough to know everything about burgers, but lacks the nuance to know that a burger would not be using the site. Upon finding this post, I did my own searching as various animals and objects. Here's what I found... My first search as a kitten yielded the expected results- as well as my second search as a cupcake. Google also suggested nearby bakeries where I may find my "mom" as a baby cupcake. This search phenomenon is weird, cute, and somewhat telling of the current state of AI chat bots. Although we poke fun at the lack of nuance present in AI, it feels more and more as if this is a temporary thing. One day, will the results yield the answer "you can't be using AI as a kitten or a burger?" I argue that even if AI as a whole advances enough to gain a human level of nuance, it is in the best interest of us, as well as the leading companies in the industry to keep playing along. But for the time being, this search anomaly is a fun way to kill time- and useful if you do happen to be a burger or kitten. This is for the AI Creative Fellowship
