The media loves doing this with SUVs for some reason. Someone reading from another planet might be forgiven for assuming that SUVs were sentient beings with evil intentions.A pet peeve of mine is passive voice in reporting on these things. "The vehicle" didn't do any of that; the drunk did

Bishop Sycamore allegedly claims to make its home in Columbus, Ohio. However, according to The Sporting News, it appears that the school might not be real. Schools that boast the name "Bishop" usually are associated with the catholic church and are named in honor of local bishops or historic bishops. However, The Diocese of Columbus, Ohio, doesn't have any Bishop Sycamores throughout its history.
According to the Massillon Independent, Bishop Sycamore is described as an online charter school that students can attend. In addition, the school isn't listed in the Ohio High School Athletic Association's directory of schools, which leaves more question marks

A man is in custody after police found him naked, bathing in a sink in a State College laundromat.
Geoffrey Warui, 29, with no known physical address, faces misdemeanor charges of indecent exposure and disorderly conduct after police arrived at Wash and Dri Laundry during the night on Sept. 15 to find him doing laundry and bathing in the sink.
When police arrived at the 24/7 laundromat, they came to find Warui standing next to a washing machine completely exposed. When police spoke with Warui he explained that he was cleaning himself and washing his clothes according to the complaint. Police then instructed Warui to cover himself with a towel
A woman was trying to put her washed clothes into the dryer, but she was afraid of the naked man, so another customer walked over with her so she could dry her clothes.
Police told Warui to change in the bathroom once his clothes were finished washing and drying. They warned Warui that if they had to come back for him being naked that he would be going to jail, according to police.
At 11:25 p.m. police then received a call back at the laundromat for Warui being naked and bathing again in the sink. Police arrived to find Warui exposed on a table and then arrested him .
Warui is currently in Centre County jail, with a monetary bail value at $250. He currently awaits a preliminary hearing scheduled for Sept. 22.

This is great stuff. Sideshow Bob
* ARRESTED *
On 09/15/21 at 6:11pm officers were dispatched to a suspicious person (later identified as CHRISTOPHER S. CATICH) inside of the Dollar General Store, 1013 N.4th Ave. in the Juniata section of Altoona. It was reported that CATICH was in the store for several hours, looking at the store surveillance cameras. Officers discovered that CATICH concealed several stolen items in his pants and ultimately placed him into custody for Retail Theft. CATICH was then handcuffed behind his back and placed into the back of a marked police cruiser.
As officers were still investigating the incident, CATICH shattered the rear driver's side window of the police cruiser and crawled out of the vehicle, fleeing on foot. It was later discovered that CATICH jumped into a railcar of a Norfolk Southern train in Juniata and was located by authorities this morning in Dauphin County, still in handcuffs. Arrangements are being made to transport CATICH back to Blair County for arraignment.
CHRISTOPHER S. CATICH is charged with felony Escape, Flight to Avoid Apprehension, Retail Theft, Theft, Receiving Stolen Property, and Criminal Mischief. He is currently IN CUSTODY in Dauphin County.

How in the world did the police not have probable cause to arrest him when they had the chance? He returns to his parents home in his girlfriend's car, having driven two thousand miles with seemingly no concern that his girlfriend was no longer with him.

Instagram to 'pause' development of new app for children
It's an awful idea no matter how you try and spin it.Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, said Monday that the company has paused development of a version of the photo sharing app for children.
Mosseri, speaking to the "TODAY" show's Craig Melvin, said he still believes in the core idea of the new app.
“I still firmly believe that it’s a good thing to build a version of Instagram that’s designed to be safe for tweens, but we want to take the time to talk to parents and researchers and safety experts and get to more consensus about how to move forward,” he said. “If anybody leaves using Instagram feeling worse about themselves, that’s an important issue we need to take seriously and that we need to figure out how to address.”

Yeah, Tik Tok is strictly off limits here. YouTube is about it for ours. Some of her friends use Tik Tok, but their parents are dummies.
