The cyber truck bomber is hard to figure. What exactly was he trying to achieve? At first, I figured this was a moron or at least somebody who didn't know much about explosives. A special Forces guy had to have known that what he put together wasn't going to make much of a bomb and that the bullet-proof construction and high walls of the bed of his vehicle would contain most of the blast. He could have rammed the doors and set off the explosives in the lobby. Maybe he didn't want to kill anybody and just wanted the symbolism of one of Elon Musk's vehicles blowing up outside of one of Trump's signature properties in Sin City. Not much to sacrifice your life for.
Anyway, 2025 is off with a bang. Hopefully the remainder is more boring but I doubt it. We are definitely living in interesting times.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

It appears that Justin Trudeau is stepping down.

The president-elect continues to whitewash the January 6, 2021 insurrection.

I saw January 6, 2021 with my own eyes. It was an abomination. Don't let Dear Leader flush reality down the memory hole.

In stark contrast to four years ago and blanketed in snow, the US Capitol is quiet and peaceful.

And they're talking about investigating Capitol Police officers who defended the capitol building on Jan 6th...apparently for doing their jobs.
