I blocked Elon Musk on Twitter today because his Tweet appeared uninvited (for no reason I could discern) on my feed saying the QAnon shaman is innocent - this after this person has already pled guilty, apologized and is serving a prison term, which is more evidence I have not to take anything Musk says seriously.

  We’re talking about the guy we have clear video evidence doing the thing he was accused of, admitted to, and convicted of, right?

  45min interview with him in prison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwdkng6ZGp8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwdkng6ZGp8 I have no doubt he's guilty. And crazy, like more crazy and dilusioned than I expected (that's not why he's in prison though).

    Obviously he is guilty of some stuff. You're probably guilty of some stuff too, and so am I. But being guilt is not a binary outcome is it? For justice to be served one needs to take into account all the circumstances and evidence. There's a difference between harming and endangering other people, and damaging property, being coerced, being set up for crime and many other things (IANAL). Saying "nah, he's guilty, I know it, no new evidence can make a difference here..." is ridiculous. It just show for who the goal is not justice, but politically motivated vengeance.

  I remember that. That's what I thought too, but I thought he had turned it off after people complained. Apparently not. It's very "Dear Leader" to force your message on people. I just got through watching "Secret State of North Korea (full documentary) | FRONTLINE" and in video sneaked out, Kim has his speeches blasting on a loop over city streets for months at a time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-cX1d4BSCI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-cX1d4BSCI
