RFK Jr. wants the study retracted.
The journal, which is a very prestigious one, refused.
Congratulations! π

This is a flagrant violation of their own state statutes, and what we know only represents districts *saying* they're doing this.

I am ENORMOUSLY jealous of those who got to participate -- I've had a Stand fanfic in my head since I was about thirteen.
(But yes, of course I'm excited and I will read the ever-loving hell out of it!)

I think he genuinely believes that his "Thank you for your attention in this matter" postscripts make him sound regal and presidential.
I don't know whether this is hilarious or lamentable.

I had nailed him, right down to mimicking an element of his personality that I couldnβt have possibly known about.

"You always said that if we were concerned or worried, there's probably a reason. So..." "Yes. I also taught you always to aim for the head. When we get back to Sanctuary, you'll be on restricted rations for a week, Nebula."

Remember this moment in #InfinityWar? I gotta tell you: I almost jumped out of seat and screamed with delight in theater when it happened. Let me explain...

Two comic book panels, both in close-up. In the first, a stern Batman says, "But if you EVER do this to my city again...then I'll kill you." And Swamp Thing, trying not to betray his amusement, replied, "Yes... Yes I do believe...that you MIGHT."
What I love most about this is the little indulgent, self-confident smile on Swampyβs mossy kisser.
Sure you will, little human, heβs thinking. Sure you will.
