        This is what you want to defend today? This nonsense type of headline?

        Sorry if I rustled your feathers, I didn’t think any fellow readers would disagree with my sentiment.

      Both Cambridge dictionary and Merriam-Webster dictionary note other uses of blast apart from explosions.

      The word is also noted to come from Old English, which is typically regarded as a period of the English language that ended in 1066. Probably not many bombs around, being centuries before any written record of gunpowder in Europe.

      To end any comment with a serious use of “hope this helps” is only pitiful. If the help is misguided as well makes it both pitiful and irritating

        Nobody got blasted by either definition. This is more doing nothing then patting yourselves on the back.

        God forbid anyone say boo against the narrative trying to be spun.

        These kind of pathetic tabloid articles do nothing but embolden the evil that is musk and his followers.
