Now the "QAnon Shaman" wants to use autism as an excuse: Hell no
Lawyer for Jacob Chansley, better known as the "QAnon Shaman," offers bizarre, bigoted and ignorant defense theory
Autistic people are not damaged. We are not criminals. The QAnon Shaman does not get to use my neurological difference as his shield. Psychological tendencies such as narcissistic feelings of shared omnipotence may well have played a role in why people like Chansley and hundreds of others found themselves storming the Capitol, but that was the result of choices they made, and perhaps their social and cultural circumstances, not because of how they were wired. Jacob Chansley is entitled to a strong defense, like any other criminal defendant. But if his attorney is going to throw neurodivergent people under the bus (short or otherwise) in order to get him off, he'd better be ready for us to call him out on it.

Two #$%@ing YEARS?! COVID lockdowns saved more lives than we knew...
Inspector who failed to catch Mississippi River bridge crack is fired
Arkansas Department of Transportation Director Lorie Tudor said the inspector was fired after drone video showed the crackon the bridge spanning the Mississippi River in May 2019. Tudor said the crack was not noted by the inspector in his reports that fall or the following year.
Tudor said all "fracture critical" bridges that had been inspected by the fired employee will be re-inspected. She said the fired employee, who had worked for the department for about 15 years, did not follow proper protocol in the bridge’s inspection.
“The way we’re supposed to inspect the bridge is you literally go inch by inch along that beam and physically inspect every inch of the beam,” she said. “That did not happen.”
