(CNN) — If politics doesn’t work out, US Rep. Maxwell Frost might just have a backup career as a rock star.The Gen-Z Florida congressman appeared on stage at Paramore’s concert Friday night at the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC. Videos by fans in the audience captured Frost, 26, singing and dancing as the band performed the 2007 hit “Misery Business.”“Do you see this? Do you see the future right here?” asked lead vocalist Hayley Williams after bringing Frost on stage in a video retweeted by Frost.Frost also tweeted several photos of himself and Williams, 34. He wrote he was “very grateful for this moment,” alongside video of his exuberant performance. “I’ve been practicing in the shower for YEARS,” he added.For fans of Frost, his appearance at the emo pop band’s concert probably wasn’t entirely surprising. The federal legislator, who represents Florida’s 10th district, describes himself as a long-time music lover and performer raised by a father who worked as a full-time musici...

WINTHROP, Massachusetts (WBZ) — A Winthrop woman is out a set of wheels after rats devoured the wiring in her car. Mechanics told her the wires are made with a common food product.Sharonle Bolger knew something was wrong when the lights on her dashboard went out. She took her Hyundai Santa Fe to the dealership to be looked at. That’s when they discovered the rat problem. She says the mechanics originally told her the wires were made with rice, however car companies actually insulate the wires in newer vehicles with soy.“I didn’t know that every time I was turning my car on, I am actually cooking rice for them, and cooking them dinner,” laughs Bolger, “I like fried rice, but not in my car.”The mechanics told her rats are attracted to the soy; however, AAA has spoken with manufacturers like Honda and Ford. Reps for AAA say the companies told them the soy used in the insulation or foam is not food grade material, and it shouldn’t attract rats.“Years ago, the wiring, and insulation of w...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:16:19 GMT

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — Officials in Canada’s Atlantic Coast province of Nova Scotia said Saturday a wildfire that forced thousands of residents from their homes over the past week is now largely contained because of rain. David Steeves, a technician of forest resources with Nova Scotia’s Department of Natural Resources and Renewables, said the fire in the Halifax area is about 85% contained, sits at 9.5 square kilometer (about 4 square miles) and is unlikely to grow due to a combination of firefighting efforts and long-awaited rain.The news was also good across the province, where Premier Tim Houston said the total number of active wildfires declined from 10 in the morning to five by mid-afternoon.“If you step outside you will see something beautiful: rain, and hopefully lots of it,” he told an afternoon briefing.The only fire that remains out of control is one in Shelburne County in the southwestern corner of the province which remains “scary,” Houston said.

Nkunku, who marked the goal with is expected to leave Leipzig for Chelsea at the end of the season.Dominik Szoboszlai made sure of the win in the 85th when the Frankfurt defense crowded Nkunku, who passed for the unmarked Szoboszlai to fire a shot past Trapp. Leipzig’s second cup title came after beating Freiburg on penalties last year, and the fourth time in five years that the club backed by drinks giant Red Bull was in the cup final.
