As someone else in another thread called it…
Trumpster Fire 🔥
I’m definitely stealing that.
Recent events starting the new year are not good nor funny though, it was almost certainly (investigation ongoing though) related to the New Orleans attack.
Apparently the Cybertruck that exploded had fireworks and fuel tanks inside, and the truck itself was rented from the same Turo app. They highly suspect it was another act of terrorism, no fault of the Cybertruck itself.

As much as I thought this would end up being a meme, if it does, it’s not a good one. As Billy Joel said, “We didn’t start the fire”, well let’s not try to spread the fire either.
If anything, share the link I posted from Adam Mockler, keep up with the news, watch out for yourself, friends, family and neighbors, and let’s all please try to have a good new year.
Edit: Added Adam Mockler’s link to his reporting on the New Orleans tragedy.
I by no means want to make light of a terrorist incident, but that is a stupid plan. 9/11 set the bar pretty high for terror. Driving a truck through a crowd is basically at the same level as one angry psychopath. I mean, our own kids do worse in their own schools, so it really was a pointless act. It barely even registers on the terror meter for me. Terror just doesn’t work. Even 9/11! All that did was piss us off to the point of re-electing Dubbya. And now we have the TSA. I suppose if the goal was to make us suffer in the long term, I guess they won there.
Perfect! Those things look just like a dumpster too.
As funny as it may seem, at this point the evidence suggests it was actually another act of terrorism, likely related to the tragic New Orleans attack.
Looks right out of robocop
Here’s the original photo before the low-quality noise reduction and oversaturation, in case anyone else is interested.
First of all thanks for the picture, it looks so good! Much better!
Secondly, aren’t the flames and smoke in slightly different positions? Perhaps there exist multiple pictures, or a video, from this angle?
Edit: The video is contained in this Supercut from the Guardian: https://youtu.be/pq9_zvpamUk?t=15
Good eye. Turns out they’re both frames from a video.
Oh, comme c’est magnifique! C’est la vie 💁🏻♂️
J’en pleure
Oui, ma déclaration peut être interprétée de plusieurs manières. J’aime réfléchir à la beauté de la composition plutôt qu’à la réalité qui est représentée. Je crois que cela peut être qualifié d’ évasion ou peut-être de délire.
You have a very good French grammar level, congrats. The sentences gives away an English phrasing, I can give you some examples of how we could have phrased it in French :
Tout à fait, ma réplique peut être interprétée comme telle, mais aussi autrement. Je me plais à réfléchir à la beauté de l’exécution plutôt qu’à l’objet qu’elle représente. D’aucuns dirait qu’il s’agirait d’une forme de délire ou d’évasion de l’esprit.
Vous vous êtes emporté m’sieur
Tant mieux :)
