Don't know where else to share this, so I'll put it here.
I spent a little under a decade alternating backpacking and working in different countries, and met a lot of people. This guy I met in 2007 seemed basically fine at the time, I have certainly met a lot worse.
Here is the photo he put up on Facebook when Trump won in 2016, just before I unfriended him.
https://i.imgur.com/0fRZOSk.png
I was with this guy for a week and did not spot any sign of his being a crazed loon, he was more the "travel broadens the mind" type. So not sure if he changed, or was just hiding his terribleness from view.

QAnon shaman is already free.
I think the court took cognizance of some mitigating factors such as he's an idiot and until he broke into the Capitol on Jan 6, 2020 his stupid public antics were not criminal. He also expressed some moderately convincing remorse and publicly apologized for being an idiot.

People aren't actually going to see it, though; they're buying tickets they never use so that it will be "sold out" and "very popular" even though the actual shows are empty.

As I mentioned in another thread, the prevailing right-wing narrative is that theaters are telling people it's sold out to keep people from seeing it. Because, you know, Hollywood doesn't want this truth coming out.

file under least surprising revelation ever
The anti-child slavery activist Tim Ballard, whose work was dramatized in the movie Sound of Freedom, resigned from the Operation Underground Railroad (Our) organization he founded amid allegations he sexually harassed colleagues, it was reported on Monday.
Ballard, a former adviser to the Trump administration on child sexual trafficking, who is reported to be exploring a run for a US Senate seat in Utah, resigned abruptly from the group in June for then-unknown reasons.
But the online media outlet Vice reported on Monday that the ultra-conservative figure, an alleged QAnon conspiracy theorist, resigned after Our launched a sexual misconduct investigation against him involving at least seven women.

The details of that were, even less surprising, pretty strange and gross:
...invited women to act as his “wife” on undercover overseas missions ostensibly aimed at rescuing victims of sex trafficking. He would then allegedly coerce those women into sharing a bed or showering together, claiming that it was necessary to fool traffickers. Ballard, who was played by Jim Caviezel in the hit film Sound of Freedom, is said to have sent at least one woman a photo of himself in his underwear, festooned with fake tattoos, and to have asked another “how far she was willing to go,” in the words of a source, to save children.
