Too much talent

Holy Fuck

Sorry, What Did You Say RFK Jr. Did to a Dead Raccoon’s Penis?

The only thing the guy in charge of our country's health and well-being loves more than spreading measles is mutilating dead animals.


It’s impossible to imagine a world without Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—not just for launching the U.S. back to 1905, where everyone died of measles, but because every third headline about him is the most twisted jumble of fever-dream reporting.

Over the weekend, the New York Post published an excerpt from its investigative reporter Isabel Vincent’s upcoming book RFK Jr.: The Fall and Rise, out April 14. The angle being that Vincent got access to three of his secret journals in 2013, and has since been digging through 1,200 pages of RFK’s life and his “deepest thoughts.”

Among these journal entries, he apparently wrote about chopping off a raccoon’s penis. Yeah. We’re not really sure what to say either. The excerpt reads:

It would foreshadow Bobby’s later life — such as when he scooped up a road-killed bear on a New York State highway in 2014, dumping it in Central Park when he realized he needed to catch a plane. In his diary, he writes about cutting off the penis of a road-killed raccoon in 2001, while his “kids waited patiently in the car,” so that he could examine it later.
Unfortunately, it’s not made clear what exactly Kennedy did with the fur bandit’s penis, but Google says raccoon penile bones are also known as “mountain man toothpicks,” so do with that what you will. Who knew a raccoon and a Fox News host could have so much in common?

The rest of the excerpt focuses on RFK’s three “father figures,” or the “trio of surrogate fathers” that helped him become who he is after his own was assassinated in 1968. They were Lem Billings (his dad’s childhood best friend); Skip Lazell (his high school, right-wing, biology teacher); and Harvard professor Robert Trivers (who has alleged ties to Epstein).

The poor road-killed raccoon also marks the umpteenth known instance of RFK Jr. needlessly mutilating an animal: There’s the bear he dumped in Central Park, the whale whose head he chopped off and strapped to the roof of his car, and the countless baby chickens and mice he allegedly ground up in a blender to feed his hawks. At this rate, it feels like we’re going to get a new RFK Jr. Did Weird Shit to Another Animal story every six months.

I guess I don’t know what I expected from a never nude who wears jeans in a hot tub.

Crystals for use in banishing someone:
Any of them will do if you have a good arm
and you throw them hard enough.
Namaste, motherfuckers.

There are people making weapons and developing systems that are intended as the means to rule over us. But according to assholes like Peter Thiel, they're not the bad guys. Somehow, the bad guys are the ones trying to stop them.

Two things:
  1. Better men than these dorks have been trying to conquer the world for 40,000 years, and the world remains undefeated
  2. But the Conqueror's Mentality (a close correlation to the Theory Of The Greater Fool) drives these guys to keep trying. "Everyone else may have failed, but that was then and not now - that was them and not me. I'm faster, stronger, and smarter, so I'm just guy who can pull it off"

Some of the most insightful commentary on the web.

The Selma to Montgomery March occurred on March 21 to 25, 1965, and was led by Dr Martin Luther King. This march was the culmination of several weeks of activity, during which demonstrators had tried to march on two occasions. They were stopped on both occasions, once violently, by the police. Approximately 25,000 people joined the March and it became a landmark event in the Civil Rights Movement, leading directly to the passing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The march brought public attention to the injustices faced by African Americans in voting.

In 1996, it was designated as a National Historic Trail in an act proposed by President Bill Clinton and passed by Congress, to be preserved by the National Park Service.

In March 2005, a re-enactment of the march took place to commemorate its 40th anniversary. This anniversary led to the creation of a pedestrian walk around Selma.

In 2015 the Marion to Selma Connecting Trail was designated to connect the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail with the site of Jimmie Lee Jackson's murder.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 directed the National Park Service to study potential additions to the trail and whether it should become a unit of the National Park System.
