TikTok is working again
TikTok is back online after a brief outage last night. Many people started reporting problems with the platform just after 11PM ET, noting that while TikTok wasn't completely offline, it was definitely dealing with some kind of technical issues that impacted users trying to access the service and view video comments.
Based on reports from Reddit, Twitter, Bluesky, and looking at our own devices, some videos were able to load in TikTok's mobile apps, but accessing other features like comments or switching between accounts wasn't working reliably, leading some users to wonder if their accounts were banned. Trying to pull up the TikTok website, or even its support pages, displayed a message saying 'An error occurred while processing your request' along with a reference code.
TikTok didn't make any public acknowledgement about the outage or what was causing it. At the time, status pages for some of its service providers, like Akamai and Oracle, didn't indicate any wider problems. Downdetector listed 44,000 reports at our last check before regular service was restored at around 12AM ET, so while it's unclear what was behind the technical issues, at least everything was restored swiftly.

100 gallons of diesel fuel overflowed into Baltimore's Inner Harbor, MDE says
Maryland Dept. of Environment says oil spill leaked about 100 gallons of diesel into Harbor Maryland Dept. of Environment says oil spill leaked about 100 gallons of diesel into Harbor Maryland Dept. of Environment says oil spill leaked about 100 gallons of diesel into Harbor Two diesel tanks from Johns Hopkins University and Medicine's third-party vendors overfilled and caused an overflow of diesel fuel into the Inner Harbor in Fells Point on Wednesday. The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) said the spill leaked about 100 gallons of diesel fuel into the water. Johns Hopkins said those tanks supply power for backup generators at its patient care facilities in East Baltimore. A spokesperson said Hopkins immediately notified the MDE of the overflow. "We proactively reached out again to MDE as we learned more about the estimated overflow volume," the Hopkins spokesperson said. "We also are actively working with local, state, and federal authorities to support the response in the Baltimore Inner Harbor." Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said he and his team went to the site of the oil spill. "My team and I are currently onsite at Fells Point, where there's been an oil spill of unknown origins, Gov. Moore said on social media. "Thank you to the emergency crews from @MDEnvironment and @USCG who quickly responded and are working to contain the oil spill and safely clean up the area now."

Nighttime bowfishing temporarily allowed on Lake Minnetonka
Nighttime bowfishing hasn't been allowed in Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota for over 10 years. The local conservation district brought it back temporarily to deal with a growing carp population, but neighbors aren't thrilled with the lights and sounds that come with it. It was roughly a month ago when Jay Nygard took a video outside his Orono home. "It was just the lights! You'd be in there watching TV and everything was lit up like you wouldn't believe" said Nygard. From April 24 - June 30th, the agency regulating Lake Minnetonka approved a special permit allowing nighttime bow fishing in 4 areas: Harrisons Bay West Arm Jennings Halstead Bay Which Nygard wasn't aware of at the time of the video, so he took the initiative to se what they were actually doing and reached out to fisherman. "A I was out there, I was also considering the people on the shore. How do we solve this problem?" said Nygard. Curtis Cich is a bowfishing guide across the state, hoping to help find a solution to the problem these invasive species present. "They'll go down and dig up all the native plants and will eat all of the eggs of the game fish," said Cich. Cich says some of the bays are seeing over 900 carp per acre. But the best time to bowfish is at night with special lights. "With the lights we can see all the way to the bottom of the lake, where in the daytime we're seeing them in the shallows and chasing them," Cich added. "This little bit of light at night is a trade-off for making their lake better overall." "I haven't heard anyone disagree that there's a carp issue in Lake Minnetonka, there has been since I was young, but how do you deal with it?" Nygard added. WCCO received the following statement from the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District: "Common carp are invasive to Lake Minnetonka, and unfortunately, their growing population threatens the quality of this much-loved community resource. As part of our efforts to bring a greater range of recreation to more parties and manage the carp population, the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District approved nighttime bowfishing on four bays, between April 24-June 30, bowfishing participants must have a permit to participate and follow all approved regulations, including hours, lighting and noise limits. The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office Water Patrol is enforcing these regulations, and we encourage community members to report any violations to Water Patrol at (612) will evaluate the effectiveness of this nighttime bowfishing event later this year to determine if the restrictions need to be adjusted and if additional opportunities will be permitted. Community members can provide feedback on this year's event by contacting the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District office." Learn more here.
