QAnon Shaman’s Lawyer Calls Rioters Fucking Short Bus People
“A lot of these defendants… they’re all fucking short-bus people,” Albert Watkins told Talking Points Memo. “These are people with brain damage, they’re fucking retarded… But they’re our brothers, our sisters, our neighbors, our coworkers—they’re part of our country. These aren’t bad people, they don’t have prior criminal history. Fuck, they were subjected to four-plus years of goddamn propaganda the likes of which the world has not seen since fucking Hitler.”
Interestingly blunt defense strategy. But when there’s a live stream of the defendant at a domestic terrorist attack “it wasn’t my client” isn’t going work.

Sinead O'Connor Says Prince Was Abusive
In an interview with the New York Times, Sinead O’Connor revealed that Prince was a violent abuser who terrorized her. She says he forced his butler to serve her soup, and started a pillow fight that was with something more than a pillow. She says she tried to sneak out of his house but he chased her down.

Are You Lonely or Alonely?
Plenty of people are lonely in the pandemic, especially if they were in lockdown solo. But scientists say “aloneliness”, the state of needing some time by yourself, can be just as troubling.
Perhaps, but “Oh what an Alonely boy” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
