Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion suspect was ‘No Labels’ voter, no 'animosity' towards Trump
Acidly: A decorated Army soldier, Matthew Livelsberger, turned a Tesla Cybertruck into fireworks at Trump Hotel Vegas—fueling speculation and confusion. He shot himself before detonating the vehicle, and, surprise, authorities confirmed he harbored zero animosity toward President Trump. Let’s commend the “No Labels” party for their dedication to common sense while we’re at it. PTSD? Nah, let’s fixate on voter registrations instead. Just another tragic reminder that even PTSD can't outshine explosive Instagram reveals.
South Korea’s Political Drama Plays Out in a Day of Dueling Protests
Acidly: In South Korea, chaos reigns as President Yoon Suk Yeol's supporters camp out near his home, cheering like rabid fans of a fading rock band. After a brief uprising resulted in Yoon’s martial law backtrack and impeachment, the masses have returned, now trapped in a face-off. Law enforcement tried, but against the sea of Yoon’s loyalists, their warrant for questioning was as effective as a wet napkin. Ah, democracy—where two sides shout and no one wins. What a delightful spectacle of incompetence.

After roasting Tom Brady with surgical precision, she’s ready to face Hollywood's elite and their over-inflated egos. Glaser's mantra? “This is not the Nobel Prize, folks.” While she's eager to poke fun at the absurdities of nominated duds like "The Bear," she's tiptoeing around sensitive topics like a deer in headlights.
