RFK, Jr and the whale’s head:

Describing her father’s fascination with animal skulls and skeletons as “eccentric environmentalism”, she tells how the whale washed up on a beach near Hyannis Port and he sped to the scene.

“[He] ran down to the beach with a chainsaw, cut off the whale’s head and then bungee-corded it to the roof of the family minivan for the five-hour haul back to Mount Kisco, New York,” she said.

“Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet. We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day to day stuff for us.”

Maybe we could build a VR theme park kind of like Westworld meets The Truman Show meets Squid Game where they can run around and think they’re taking over the universe until the zombies or aliens or whatever show up and devise the appropriate ironic ending for each one. We’ll all watch it on tv in the evenings for entertainment.
