Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

Give me a ping, Charlie Brown. One ping only, please.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like… tears in rain Charlie Brown.

I genuinely hate having to plug my work on here. I would rather post my cartoons and drawings without a link to my website, but unfortunately social media is an important element of our business, so I have to do it. I do appreciate the reposts and thank you for the support since I came to Bluesky.

Re the previous quote Tweet (or whatever the heck you call it on here). Like @mooseallain.bsky.social I don’t enjoy advertising my services on here, “selling myself” isn’t my thing and agents aren’t taking new clients. I know, “boo-hoo!” but people have to understand it’s necessity.
