RFK has the sex appeal of an old moth-eaten sock and anyone who thinks otherwise needs to have their brain scanned and to be evaluated for a stroke
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.

The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

Scientists: have you been the target of an online harassment campaign, doxxing, or weaponized FOIA requests? I'd like to talk to you about steps you had to take to protect your digital security for an upcoming Nature story. (You can be anonymous if necessary.)

We’re experiencing the worst measles outbreak in years. And it’s in no small part because Sec. Kennedy is casting doubt on vaccines.
This kind of reckless rhetoric has consequences.
Especially when it’s coming from the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.
I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."
HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡

A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:
“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

I like my mush in the form of pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes but not in the form of green bean casserole

I’m zen about this because I love pumpkin pie but it’s one of those things you can’t get defensive about because it is just flavored mush and if people don’t like a big rectangle of mush I’m not going to call them incorrect, Thanksgiving is really a time for mushes of all sorts.
Just FYI:
My most controversial tweet ever, from Thanksgiving three years ago, back when Twitter was Twitter and Bluesky didn’t exist.

ppl are saying blueskey is boring so here is my cat Mischka inspecting a frozen duck. this is for thanksgiving - finding a quality turkey in Germany is not easy. But since turkey is an angry trash bird, a succulent duck will do just fine
