This should be considered some kind of neglect or abuse.

I didn't realize Rock Creek was considered so polluted.

At least it isn't as bad as the Anacostia River

He should just come out and announce that he worships Nurgle.

The sewage was no doubt very upset to see its creek being contaminated by RFK Jr.

When I was a little boy in New York City in the 1940s, we swam in the Hudson River and it was filled with raw sewage okay? We swam in raw sewage! You know... to cool off! And at that time, the big fear was polio; thousands of kids died from polio every year but you know something? In my neighbourhood, no one ever got polio! No one! Ever! You know why? Cause we swam in raw sewage! It strengthened our immune systems! The polio never had a prayer; we were tempered in raw shit!

Love Carlin, but this bit didn't exactly age well. lol

It was exactly the line I thought of when I saw the headline.

Why'd I think it was a RFK quote

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

Because we live in the stupid timeline, the one where this absolutely 100% could be real. I thought it was too lol

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

You know why?

Satire is dead, it's no longer possible to top the absurdity of real life.

Fuck that. Humor is not dead.

he needs to update those ideas by 160 years

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Counterpoint, the great society party wants to return us to 160 years ago when a man was allowed to own some people. If that means throwing a bunch of other things out, him and his crowd are fine to do it

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He's just sharing his various worm parasites with them ❤️

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure he got that from eating rancid meat in the Amazon

They are now part of the collective.
