I heard his story about dumping the bear corpse and holy shit... I cannot stand his voice. It's just irritating to listen to him talk about anything. Had no idea he sounded like that lol

His voice is the result of a medical condition called spasmodic dysphonia.

The monkey has a right bare arm.

That monkey has a right to defend itself (and RFK Jr.) if someone breaks into their house to steal their bananas.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

RFK, Jr. is bananas enough for everyone.

It took me going to that site to realise this was satire. I just figured for RFK JNR this headline made perfect sense.
