I got an email from something called “Strategical Thinking”. It was in support of RFK Jr’s treatment for tinnitus and lists times when Bobby was right about things. I didn’t look into any of this shit of course, but I replied: “I’ve got advice for Bobby. Don’t swim with your grandkids in sewage, and only eat roadkill if you know how long it’s been dead”. ---

That which hasn’t killed him yet isn’t making him stronger. Just stupider. ---

So it’s just fine and dandy to swim in sewage without your grandkids. You could be in the administration, your application has been accepted. 😃 ---

Though all of that is just weird unhealthy shit that HHS secretaries shouldn’t do. It’s not the main problem I have with RFK, namely he seems to be trying to actively kill as many Americans as possible and is adopting policies to that effect. If he was fighting Trump tooth and nail to save American lives by making vaccines available and supporting life saving research, etc. then I’d say, fine swim in sewage and eat month old road kill to your hearts content. ---

The lazy MAGAt Senate confirmed him and the rest of the cabinet just to make trump happy. Sure, make Kegbreath Secretary of Defense. We’re not at war. Let him strut around. What could go wrong? And these billionaires who can’t really be bothered- they got their’s. Let’s get Markwayne in there, too. ---

Hey, RFK Jr. is all about getting chemicals out of our food supply and supporting bountiful health, which is why he [drinks methylene blue](https://www.npr.org/2025/12/15/nx-s1-5634680/methylene-blue-supplement-safety), urges consumption of [raw milk](https://www.politico.com/news/2024/12/06/rfk-jr-raw-milk-recall-00192906) and [promotes tanning beds for teenagers](https://www.salon.com/2026/05/09/rfk-jr-pushes-personal-choice-over-teen-tanning-bed-ban/). MAHA, baby! ---

Tangentially related, I’ve been getting spam emails of the sort that used to come from Nigerian princes, but now apparently come from the likes of Melania Trump and Markwayne Mullin. Clearly the spammers have found a particularly credulous group of people to exploit. ---

I edited the title a little to make the subject clearer. ---

I believe Kennedy was an environmental lawyer at one point. Sometimes I wonder if he concluded at one point that the biggest threat to the environment was humans, and has pledged to wipe out the species.
