this guy that plays with animal corpses is going to grow up one day to be a serial killer.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 47 minutes ago

what does it take for a person get institutionalized

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 20 points 2 hours ago (4 children)

I keep thinking about that guy that had to shutter his political career because of one awkward yell at a campaign rally. Or Al Franken. How did we get from there to here?

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 minutes ago

I wish I could find the video but I could swear I saw an interview with Dean admitting it wasn't actually the scream that ended his campaign but instead was more traditional reasons like polling numbers. The media just sensationalized the scream. It may have been a daily show interview but i can't definitively say.

Imagine being 18 years old and this kind of insanity is all you’ve ever known.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 56 minutes ago

It was a different time back then.

AND WERE GOONG TO WHITE HOUSE ! HEYAAH

Fucking classic

Honestly I’d give my left testicle to even have John McCain back in office. I didn’t like that guy but atleast when he talked about Obama he said something like “no he’s not a Muslim and he’s not going to ruin the country. He’s a fine man we just disagree “

Or something like that.

I’d trade trump for McCain right now if it was an option.

So I agree WTF happened to politics! They aren’t even trying to be shady anymore.

We know the government doesn’t have aliens now atleast because trump would have announced it, say he found them, and name the species after himself.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Trump told a lot of stupid, hateful people that their bigotry and ignorance weren't merely justified, they were righteous in their beliefs

He told them that their hatred made them better than the people they fear

He promised them that he would hurt the people they dislike, and they're hoping that they'll get to hurt them too

And too many people in the US are stupid, ignorant, afraid and full of hatred

It has been said that in times of trouble, the arts flourish. I don't know how true that is, but of all the tributes I've seen to the batshit crazy that is RFK Jr, I think our own @Formfiller@lemmy.world has captured RFK Jr's true self best in the most fitting artistic memorialization I've seen yet:

Interesting.

I didn't know he was still invited on family vacations.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 16 minutes ago

his family disowned him, hes the blacksheep of the family.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

RFK thinks cutting a raccoon penis makes him like Leonardo da Vinci but it actually makes him more like Buffalo Bill.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Please don't disparage Bill's good name like that.

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 50 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

“I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be,” he wrote, reportedly reflecting on strained relationships with his brother Douglas Kennedy and cousin Bobby Shriver. “My kids waited patiently in the car.”

This wins the Not the Onion gold medal

I suppose while doing weird things is a wonderful time to notice it's a pattern for your family.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

TOTALLY NORMAL.

WE'VE ALL HAD HOLIDAYS LIKE THAT.

TOTALLY REGULAR URGE TO KEEP THE PENISES OF ROADKILL FOR CLOSER STUDY LATER.

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

We won't know if it was killed on the road until we examine its penis.

Um, if the sin is amputating deceased animal dicks, well then... Whips rock at RFK

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 30 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Any penis can be detachable if you put in the work. Detachable Peeenis

/seriously though, wtf

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 6 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

I think the implication in the song is that it was detachable more than once.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 minutes ago

Łook who didn't pay attention at the glue factory

It was me

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 5 points 1 hour ago

Reattachable penis

[–] austinfloyd@ttrpg.network 11 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

I was not expecting a King Missile reference in 2026. Thank you.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 29 minutes ago

Wait, that sentence has been said before? 🫪

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 31 points 6 hours ago

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 8 points 5 hours ago
