Strange News: Mysterious Deaths Ignored, Landmark Assault Trial in France, Banning Junk Fees

OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji is found dead in what US officials deem a "suicide." French national Gisèle Pelicot takes an heroic stand in an assault trial fundamentally rocking the nation. Over in the US, a new federal policy may ban 'junk fees.' Also -- spoiler -- remember when Ben, Matt, and Noel bragged, in slightly frightened language, about the brilliance of fungal life? Turns out a species of fungi has evolved to thrive off the radiation at Chernobyl. All this and more in this week's strange news segment.
