Apr. 22—A man sustained serious injuries while being towed behind a vehicle while in a parachute Saturday in Worth County.

The accident happened at about around 5:15 p.m. three miles northeast of Grant City, Missouri. Jacob W. Dickinson, 37, of Fort Collins, Colorado, was being pulled by about 110 feet of rope attached to an ATV driven by Cael D. Schmitz, 21, of Lebanon, Missouri, on a private grass runway when the tow rope snapped, according to a Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report.

Dickinson fell from the sky and landed in a nearby hayfield east of the runway, the report said.

Dickinson was taken by helicopter to University Health Truman Medical Center with serious injuries. Schmitz was not injured.

TikTok sues the US government over law that could ban the app
TikTok is suing the United States government in an effort to block a law that would ban TikTok if its parent company, ByteDance, fails to sell it within a year. TikTok argues that the law violates the U.S. Constitution's commitment to "both free speech and individual liberty." "For the first time in history, Congress has enacted a law that subjects a single, named speech platform to a permanent, nationwide ban, and bars every American from participating in a unique online community with more than 1 billion people worldwide," the lawsuit reads.

Since then, states have tried to make abortion nearly impossible, prompting an increased look at contraceptives to allow both men and women to have more control over family planning. This conversation has led to the topic of male birth control — something doctors haven't quite mastered until now, perhaps.
