  + stars: | 2022-09-30 | by ( Jordan Hart | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Mega mansions cost their owners between $10,000 and $50,000 in electric bills, reports say. A record-breaking $141 million mansion known as "the costliest house sold at auction," has monthly electric bills estimated at around $50,000. California's San Diego Gas & Electric raised its rates due to higher supply costs, and the new bills cost residents nearly 12% more than last year on average, the Wall Street Journal reported. Castillo said those hoping to cut down on electricity bills should focus more on their A/C units instead of turning off lights and appliances. In the LA Times report, he said that makes up 70% of electric bills during the summer.

Dancers who work in a topless bar in California are seeking to join the Actors' Equity Association. The dancers had already been seeking to unionize, as Insider reported in May, but Wednesday's press release specifically linked their bid to the Actors' Equity Association. President of the Actors' Equity Association, Kate Shindle, said in the press release that the dancers approached the organization for support. "We like what we do," a Star Garden dancer named Velveeta said in the press release. Wednesday's press release claimed that the club's security guards repeatedly failed to protect dancers from "threatening and abusive behavior from patrons."

TikTok is being sued for wrongful death after two girls died trying to recreate a choking challenge. The lawsuit alleges the girls aged 8 and 9 were fed videos of the challenge by the app's algorithm. The suit alleges that the app's algorithm recommended videos of the strangulation challenge to the young girls. The police took Walton's phone and tablet, and later told her stepmother that she had been watching blackout challenge videos "on repeat," the suit says, according to the newspaper. "TikTok unquestionably knew that the deadly Blackout Challenge was spreading through their app and that their algorithm was specifically feeding the Blackout Challenge to children," the Social Media Victims Law Center's complaint claims, per the Los Angeles Times.
