Nothing much to get. It's just short videos with a few prevailing themes like girls dancing or lip-syncing or making jokes. Feel free to ignore it if you want.

I don't have TikTok but I do get sucked into Instagram Reels (essentially the same thing). I do love the short funny videos.

I don't think I'm creative enough to do anything on TikTok especially dance.

I am currently 'spider-sitting' a friend's tarantula while they are out of town. I went to feed her today, and a strange situation occured. After having a laugh and grabbing a few shots, I made sure the spider was safe from the live cricket that it clearly didn't want to eat.

Spoiler, 'cause spider pic.

Spoiler!

This is neither funny, or cool, but is an absolute must watch.

Fled the scene. Hope they catch her and string her up. Seeing talk about them suing her at least. Hopefully into oblivion.

She's obviously a dim wit and made a stupid mistake, but you'd like to see her life ruined? She disrupted a bicycle race (granted it's the biggest one on the planet), she didn't murder anyone.

I ****ing love Dave Chappelle, he's so random and does whatever he wants at any given time. He decided to join Foo Fighters and sing Creep by Radiohead to reopen Madison Square Garden. Really cool.

Just caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, injured dozens of people with head trauma, broken ribs including at least one rider breaking both arms in multiple places and getting knocked out of the competition.

Yeah, sure baseline financial compensation would be a good starting place as an example. You do nothing and good luck trying to keep spectators from being deterred from copying it like she did for the social media attention.

This isn’t new though,

The TDF is the one who should be liable by essentially letting fans interact with the race and occasionally it results in injury.

Yep, it's absurd. Take any major sport - hockey, basketball, football with many inebriated/attention hungry fans and put them on the sidelines within range of literally stepping on the playing surface and this would happen all the time.

Just dumb.

George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Bill Hicks, and now Dave Chappelle.

What does 'allez opi-omi' mean?
The woman who caused the major crash earlier in the race was holding up a sign saying "Allez ope-omi".
The sign is a combination of two languages, French and German.
"Allez" means "go" in French, while "opi" and "omi" are German terms for "grandpa" and "grandma," according to Dict.cc.
So the sign would translate to "Go grandpa-grandma."

murder is where you draw the line?

The fan needs to be sued or organizers will feel the wrath of future would be idiots disrupting future races and hurting its competitors

I get what your saying but basketball essentially does this. There's no barrier, no fence, no wall, just seats next to the court.

That said, basketball does a better job keeping people off the court, and has security to ensure the safety of the players/game.

Baseball has a barrier, although generally small, and there are some that run the field, but those are becoming fewer and father between.

Tour de France really should have some sort of barrier, set up, or method to ensure proper security to prevent this kind of thing.

I don't think the spectator intended to cause the pileup, but they shouldn't have been in position to cause it regardless.
