  13. Two Pennsylvania teens are facing charges after prosecutors said they drove their friends on dangerous TikTok-inspired stunts, killing one and causing what are expected to be lifelong injuries to another. While the district attorney’s office called out TikTok and Instagram by name, similar videos have appeared on other apps and social media sites as well. A TikTok spokesperson said videos involving table and car surfing violate the company’s community guidelines and that 99.8% of them are removed proactively, and 92.4% of videos removed for violating the app’s rules are taken down before anyone views them. The incidents were unrelated to one another and involved different stunts, but both happened in Northampton County, 85 miles west of New York City and 80 miles north of Philadelphia. In one case, a 17-year-old died on June 1 while riding on top of a folding table tied to the back of his friend’s car, according to Northampton County District Attorney Stephen Baratta. Prosecutors said the friend recklessly drove too fast and “whipped the rider sitting on the table into another parked vehicle, resulting in [his] death,” Baratta’s office said in a statement. The victim in that case was identified as David Nagy, 17, FOX 29 Philadelphia reported. In the other case, a 19-year-old woman allegedly drove through a parking lot with her 20-year-old friend “surfing” on her trunk on March 18. The woman on the trunk fell off and suffered “catastrophic head injuries that will be permanent in nature,” Baratta’s office said. Neither teen is accused of “criminogenic thinking,” meaning they are not accused of planning to hurt their friends. However, Baratta said, they are allegedly criminally culpable because the incidents were “so grossly negligent and reckless.” “The families did have a closeness and a trust with these close friends — I mean they knew them very well,” Baratta told reporters at a news briefing attended by FOX 29. “That’s what’s so heartbreaking in this case.” Baratta added that neither driver has a criminal record and neither victim’s family is “calling out for incarceration.” As a result, he said his office won’t seek jail time for either of them if they agree to plea deals. He said the families want to use the cases in the hope that other teens will make better decisions. “These families are seeking accountability and hope that these charges will result in deterrence for other youth who may find themselves attracted to the thrill of mimicking dangerous social media challenges that have the potential to injure others,” his statement said.The dangerous stunts are not just limited to Pennsylvania. A similar car surfing stunt in Utah left a 15-year-old girl with a severe brain injury last year.

  20. Bizarre stat of the day... Grisham has 16 hr in his last 53 games. No other xbase hits. Only he & Mantle have had a 50-game stretch in which they hit at least 15 homers without a single other extra base hit.
  21. The Grand Ole Opry is often called the heart of country music, and for more than a century, it’s lived up to that name. Since its founding in 1925, the iconic Nashville venue has become a rite of passage for country artists and a symbol of tradition. So when the Opry announced that pop star Sabrina Carpenter would be stepping into the circle on October 7, fans were quick to weigh in. The official announcement came via the Opry’s Instagram account on September 19. “Oh, boy! @sabrinacarpenter is making her Opry debut! The two-time Grammy-award winning global superstar just released her 7th studio album ‘Man’s Best Friend’ and we can’t wait to welcome her to the Opry stage on October 7. See you soon, Sabrina!” Carpenter, 26, is without a doubt becoming a rising force in pop music. With seven studio albums and multiple chart-topping hits to her name, the former Disney Channel star has built a successful career on her own terms. Still, her name isn’t exactly synonymous with country music, and that left some longtime fans conflicted. While some fans praised the move, others expressed confusion, asking questions like, “Ok love her so much but why is she at the Opry” and “She’s pop not country. What is happening with the Opry!!???” One comment even called her debut a “disgrace to country music.” On the flip side, many supporters defended her appearance. Some highlighted that Carpenter has country influences in her sound and has teamed up with a country icon, Dolly Parton, for a version of her single “Please Please Please.” For those fans, her Opry debut feels like less of a stretch than critics are claiming. It's worth mentioning that the Opry has a long history of opening its doors to artists outside traditional country circles. Performers like Paramore, Pharrell Williams and Steven Tyler have all graced the Opry stage. While the venue honors its roots, it has continued to evolve alongside the changing times and the music that resonates with new generations of fans.
