TikTok prankster ‘Mizzy’ is facing backlash once again after another video of his went viral showing him 'hijacking a train'. The controversial 18-year-old, whose real name is Bacari-Bronze O’Garro has become known for his outrageous pranks. The prankster first garnered outrage at the beginning of May after his videos showcased the problematic pranks he was pulling on strangers. His most notable videos include him trespassing and entering the homes of strangers, with his antics resulting in him being arrested and sentenced with a two-year criminal behaviour order. The behaviour order prevents Mizzy from trespassing on private property as well as filming others without their express consent in his content.

The TikTok was described as “GTA in real life.” As a result, Mizzy was reportedly arrested and held overnight on May 26 after appearing in court on three separate charges. He was accused of “endangering safety” according to the Daily Mail. Judge Rose Edwin told Mizzy that he “has shown blatant disregard [for] complying with court orders.” The prankster has pleaded not guilty to all three charges and will remain in custody until Tuesday, when he will appear in court once more.

A verified Twitter account related to Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also known as AOC, has caused confusion after the account tweeted that she had a crush on Elon Musk. The account, which has over 90,000 followers, does state it is a parody account, which is required if the user has paid for Twitter Blue and is pretending to be another individual or company, as per Twitter’s rules. However, because the Twitter display name is so long - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Press Release (Parody) - sometimes the “parody” can be cut off, especially if the tweet has been quote retweeted. Which makes confusion much more likely. On Monday, the account tweeted: “This might be the wine talking, but I’ve got a crush on @elonmusk”. The tweet has over 50,000 likes, and now has a community note letting viewers know that the account is a parody to try and clear up confusion. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The tweet came as a surprise to many who thought it was an official AOC account, seeing as the Congresswoman has publicly criticised Musk on multiple occasions. Musk himself even replied to the tweet with a simple fire emoji. Many didn’t get the joke at first, with a lot of Elon fans/AOC haters seemingly getting annoyed at the fact that AOC would want to date Musk. Others criticised the account’s existence all together, saying that it was rooted in the right’s misogyny and hatred towards AOC: This is not the first time the parody account has gained a lot of attention (and confusion). Previously government officials from Ted Cruz to Laura Loomer have interacted with the account not knowing it was a parody. Have your say in our news democracy.

MrBeast has just released one of his most expensive and creative videos ever that almost broke a YouTube record and has been showered with praise for the quality of production and the amount of money poured into it. The 25-year-old YouTuber, the real name Jimmy Donaldson, has returned to one of his big-scale projects for his latest video after recently embarking on philanthropic endeavours such as helping people see and hear again. His new video was very different in comparison as was similar to something that you might see in Squid Game. It involved 100 contestants aged 1 to 100 all trapped inside clear plastic boxes. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The idea is to see how long they could all last while inside the boxes until only one contestant remains with challenges arising to whittle down the players quicker. The winner will receive $500k as a reward. The video clocks in at 25 minutes and all things aside it is a genuinely well put together and compelling watch. Ages 1 - 100 Fight For $500,000 www.youtube.com At the time of writing, the video has been viewed more than 43 million times on YouTube which Donaldson claimed almost broke the record for the number of views on the platform within 24 hours. In the comments Donaldson added that he and his team had spent "millions of dollars and months working on this video, I hope you all liked it." It's fair to say that it has gone down well with his fans. One person wrote: "This is one of the best Mr. Beast videos ive ever seen. It had the competitiveness and drama that we expect from challenges but added great representation throughout all the ages and some amazing emotional and heartwarming roller coasters. Well done!" Another added: "This is by far my most favorite challenge from Jimmy!" A third said: "This was actually epic. Way to take elements of other reality shows and make it your own." We won't giveaway any spoilers but its worth sticking around for the entire video which has both a tense and wholesome ending. Have your say in our news democracy.

For young Indians, there's a flip side to the so-called economic miracle: too few jobs and too much competition.

At some stage in everyone's life, it would be nice to be considered intelligent or at least in possession of a high IQ. You can take all the IQ tests that you want and read the most complex books available to you but there must be an easier way of gauging how smart you are. Luckily for you and me, the great folks over at AsapSCIENCE have identified four questions that could help determine how much intelligence you possess. They assess your emotional intelligence, your verbal and non-verbal abilities, your musical-rhythmic intelligence and your visual intelligence. Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter To partake in this mini-quiz watch the video below and listen carefully. How did you get on? Harder than you thought they would be, right? Well, as you may have noticed, there isn't one particular way to understand just how intelligent you are, as IQ can cover multiple traits and subjects. So, while you might be really clever at recognising whether the tone is right in a piece of music, you may have difficulty identifying the correct shape in a line-up of many. Of course, there is a chance that you got all of those questions right - but don't feel disheartened if you didn't. Intelligence can come in various forms and is sometimes assisted by your personal background and upbringing, and can't always be easily pinpointed through an IQ test.
