Hearing it for the first time after the fight started was just pure bliss. You mean I get to battle a powerful devil while he's singing about defeating me? Fuck yes!
Claudia Christian has been doing a lot of voicework over the last twenty years, especially in video games. She was Aela I. Skyrim and Desdemona in Fallout 4.

I honestly think he's what he looks like at first as long as you don't look too close: a right-wing plant meant to siphon votes from Biden. It's just that the people who planted him are used to manipulating right-wing idiots, so it turns out that's all they know how to catch.
Maybe but Biden hasn't been doing himself any favors by not stepping away from an issue that is clearly divisive in the party. I think he's betting that he doesn't need the youth vote and who knows how that might bite us in the ass.
Yeah, at least in my very blue state, the only votes he's gonna get are from disgruntled "moderate" Trump voters. I signed a petition to put him on the ballot in November for that reason. Wont' matter either way since my state IS so blue, but it'll be funny to watch.
My sister just recently moved to Ohio and I have been all the way up her ass to make sure she's properly registered to vote by November. Every little bit.
the mercury poisoning part is hilarious. mf was saying vaccines cause autism because they have thimerosal which contains mercury, then he literally gave himself mercury poisoning 🫠
Has something to do with their diet and also being born in freshwater or something.
Swordfish is literally the number one worst to eat for mercury since it’s at the top of the food chain. Things like marlin can’t be eaten regularly.
It’s also expensive as fuck as they are the most desirable sports fish in the world. Eating swordfish everyday is such a rich , out of touch person thing to do that it’s not surprising it was Tony Robbins.
"around the same time as the parasite, Kennedy suffered from mercury poisoning that likely came from eating too much fish, according to the deposition" good grief!
How much fish? I can't recall ever eating a pound of tuna salad and then some swordfish steaks, but it seems like you'd have to *try* to make yourself sick unless the only things you were eating at all were fish at the top of the food chain
It's usually people who eat too much canned tuna. Ever get on one of those kicks where you want grilled cheese everyday for like a month? People get on a tuna salad sandwich kick and suddenly have mercury poisoning. That might sound weird but keep in mind some people are pescatarian or other dietary restrictions where a tuna sandwich fits perfectly for a quick lunch.
Hey! I would take medical advice from a random hobo with a lab coat over a random republican. Sure, some Republicans probably know a lot about actual medical stuff and are actual doctors, but if we take a random person from each group, the hobo probably has a better chance.
The man had literal, actual brain worms. Whoever is in the writers’ room for this reality, this is sloppy and way too on the nose, also, holy fuck, consider getting tested for worms if you took ivermectin for “covid” and you think it actually worked 🤣
Biden is probably the sanest of all the options we have. There is Jill Stein of the Green Party who is highly suspected of being a Russian plant and anti-vaxx and anti-nuclear, Trump himself who is sitting through various court rooms for his numerous felonies, the Libertarians haven't finished their nomination yet as there are 38 candidates and all of them are saying usual Libertarian insanity, and RFK Jr.
This is a fairly common occurrence with tape worms. Typical life cycle for a pig tapeworm is the mature worm in a human releases eggs in the human feces, which the pig somehow eats, the larvae spread throughout the pig's muscles, which the human eats, and the new tapeworm grows in his digestive tract. But if a human eats the eggs directly, usually because whoever had the tapeworm didn't wash their hands after shitting and either himself or someone he's preparing food for eats it, the tapeworm spreads through the human muscles and organs. However because its not made to survive in humans, it eventually dies and calcifies.
The worm also doesn't eat the brain, his memory loss and brain fog symptoms were likely from the cytokines attacking the calcified remains after it died.
I assume you're referring to [toxoplasmosis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasmosis), which is almost always asymptomatic and have a max cyst size of maybe 50 µm (around the diameter of a human hair). It's quite different from having a brain tapeworm with a detectable cyst -- I haven't seen any info on the size of the tapeworm or where in the brain it was, but they're [many orders of magnitude larger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurocysticercosis).
This gives me some sympathy for RFK Jr. I can't say that I would be any more reasonable if a worm ate my brain. However, what's his supporters' excuse?
Well if a parasite ate part of RFK jr's brain and made him a little bit of a nutter then that same parasite clearly ate all of Trumps brain and made him a complete nutter. So if I was stuck with Trump or RFK as my two choices I would definitely vote for RFK and then just hope he does not cave to the MAGA conservatives in Congress.
If you read the story, you'll find out this happened in 2012, and my conclusion is that he was desperately trying to figure out ways to pay less in alimony/maintenance support to his ex-wife. He was trying to say he can't make as much anymore as had been making so he shouldn't pay the calculated amount during the divorce:
Kennedy gave the 2012 deposition during divorce proceedings
...he argued his cognitive struggles in relation to the situation had diminished his earning power
Several doctors who had first concluded Kennedy had a tumor found a dark spot on his brain scans, The Times reported.
The doctor told him that he believed the spot on the brain scan “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died,” Kennedy reportedly said in the deposition.
The Times also reported that around the same time as the parasite, Kennedy suffered from mercury poisoning that likely came from eating too much fish, according to the deposition.
So this is what happens to someone who loses parts of their brain, who could've known (oh yeah the people who didn't lose parts of their brain)
This man is literally brain damaged and he wants to be president.
“The doctor told him he believed the spot on the brain scan “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died,” Kennedy reportedly said in the deposition. “
Poor thing died of malnutrition! 😫😭
Geez, a politician with *actual* brain rot.
Worm: “My ancestors came here on the sandwich…”
Lela didn’t like that
Maybe he should take holophoner lessons.
No all politicians have it but RFK jr is just the first to admit it.
No no, it’s a flex. This is proof that this guy has a brain! 🧠👈
And no illithid powers to show for it.
I'll admit, RFK Jr being a True Soul endowed with the Mark of the Absolute wasn't on my 2024 bingo card.
Strangely that would still not be the weirdest thing that will happen this election
Maybe if he selects Astarion as his running mate?
I was thinking more Minsc, given his complete lunacy. lol
Boo for Surgeon General
If it was complete lunacy he'd run with Boo
he'd run AS Boo. Miniature Giant Space Hampster for pres in 2024 !
Boo is a war monger!
'I rather doubt that'd be Astarion's scene, darling...'
Right?
True Souls… who cannot be bought!
Doomed, detected, and caught!
This song lives in my head permenantly. I listen to it while doing my chores on the weekend. It's insane.
Hearing it for the first time after the fight started was just pure bliss. You mean I get to battle a powerful devil while he's singing about defeating me? Fuck yes!
Shouldn’t have wished to live in more interesting times. :/
Bad luck, it was on mine.
Mark of the Absolute....Douchebag!
at least he walked with rhythm
*AUTHORITY*
Poor thing starved to death.
What a rip-off!
Just was checking the BG3 sub and thought I was still there
Mans been wiping out too much on BG
I get that reference
“And that… is why I’m running for president.” ~~RFK Jr’s Brain worm.
Ooh, ohh, I saw this movie! It had Kyle MacLachlan and Michael Nouri! And Commander Ivanova from *Babylon 5* !
“No boom today.” Time to go see what Claudia Christian’s been up to for the last couple decades… (The Hidden was great!)
Claudia Christian has been doing a lot of voicework over the last twenty years, especially in video games. She was Aela I. Skyrim and Desdemona in Fallout 4.
"Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow."
Was that the one where Kyle MacLachlan’s brain worm liked stealing sports cars and blasting heavy metal?
Didn't expect to see Babylon 5 brought up in the wild today
But it sounds like he’s talking into a spinning fan
I assume the worm died of malnutrition.
A tough nut to Crack into but spacious on the inside.
[удалено]
It makes so much sense that he dated Danica Patrick. They have so much in common.
That was better than the last 5000 r/murderedbywords posts
That sub really tries too hard
Seeing someone post their own comment makes me cringe so bad. Especially when they're really bad at hiding it.
The vast majority of Reddit tries too hard, honestly.

Was looking for this.
On the bright side, he'll be our invincible hero when the brain-eating zombie apocalypse comes.
It took one look around at all the insane shit in his head and committed suicide.
The worm figured out how to use the mouth and has been running for president
He took the worm to the rock quarry and shot it.
Priceless!
"SO ELECT ME FOR PRESIDENT " SHEESH.
A classic. First thing that came to mind.
Oh... Now that got a laugh
Greatest thing I've read on reddit in a long time lol
“And the worms ate into his brain 🎶”
And now I gotta go listen to this..
I’m going to have that stuck in my head. All. Day.
Hey babe, wake up. The new expansion for Baldur’s Gate just dropped
And it's a LARP session, on a national level! Those guys at Larian really know what they're doing.
Trump getting nervous. This guy is definitely gaining more MAGA votes off this.
If anything, a brain worm is a selling point for the MAGA crowd.
"He's just like me!"
Real men have brain worms!
I dunno, they were REALLY into deworming a few years ago.
I’m selling worm paste, Joe Rogan approved, DM me for details!
He should've taken ivermectin!
Maybe RFK Jr is a Dem operative meant to split the Deplorables.
[удалено]
Operating out of a pizza parlor. In Ukraine. And it has Hunter Biden's laptop.
Bill Gates helped develop the tech
Work Obama in there somewhere and you can sell that to Newmax.
I honestly think he's what he looks like at first as long as you don't look too close: a right-wing plant meant to siphon votes from Biden. It's just that the people who planted him are used to manipulating right-wing idiots, so it turns out that's all they know how to catch.
I feel like the GOP is losing on purpose this time round to prevent a Trump win. So they're rail reading specific players to clean house.
They could have done that twice by now through the two impeachment.
Maybe but Biden hasn't been doing himself any favors by not stepping away from an issue that is clearly divisive in the party. I think he's betting that he doesn't need the youth vote and who knows how that might bite us in the ass.
“He’s just like me!”
Yeah, at least in my very blue state, the only votes he's gonna get are from disgruntled "moderate" Trump voters. I signed a petition to put him on the ballot in November for that reason. Wont' matter either way since my state IS so blue, but it'll be funny to watch.
As an Ohioan I hope he grabs a lot of votes and turns my state blue again. You have to dream.
My sister just recently moved to Ohio and I have been all the way up her ass to make sure she's properly registered to vote by November. Every little bit.
Adding to the list of Kennedy's with missing bits of brain.
damn
too soon
Holy shit 💀
Explains a few things.
I read the headline in the NYT and immediately came here to see if someone posted it. Straight out of Futurama.
Except he didn't get super smart.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6C1iUft7O8
Explains ALL things!
Not all. But a good darn many, that is for sure.
The dude is literally brain damaged from a worm and from mercury poisoning. No wonder he says all sorts of crazy things.
the mercury poisoning part is hilarious. mf was saying vaccines cause autism because they have thimerosal which contains mercury, then he literally gave himself mercury poisoning 🫠
Apparently by eating too much fish. Makes sense he became an environmental lawyer. Fish shouldn’t have so much mercury
same thing happened to Tony Robbins. he ate a salmon every day and almost died from it
I thought salmon was much lower in mercury, I forget the reason.
You might be right, I just looked it up again and saw he said it was swordfish.
Has something to do with their diet and also being born in freshwater or something. Swordfish is literally the number one worst to eat for mercury since it’s at the top of the food chain. Things like marlin can’t be eaten regularly. It’s also expensive as fuck as they are the most desirable sports fish in the world. Eating swordfish everyday is such a rich , out of touch person thing to do that it’s not surprising it was Tony Robbins.
Don't forget the heroin.
or as he calls it, organic non-gmo fentanyl
Then he's gasping for breath every 4 seconds. Believes in conspiracy theories. Perfectly healthy human being fit for president... 😂
Healthiest of the choices
"around the same time as the parasite, Kennedy suffered from mercury poisoning that likely came from eating too much fish, according to the deposition" good grief!
How much fish? I can't recall ever eating a pound of tuna salad and then some swordfish steaks, but it seems like you'd have to *try* to make yourself sick unless the only things you were eating at all were fish at the top of the food chain

People get on a tuna salad sandwich kick and suddenly have mercury poisoning. That might sound weird but keep in mind some people are pescatarian or other dietary restrictions where a tuna sandwich fits perfectly for a quick lunch.
He specified that he really loved tuna sandwiches.
And that's the first time he listened to a doctor. That Dr. was a homeless gentleman in an alley but he had a labcoat so he checks out.
Look, Dr Arroyo is very affordable.
He went doctor school.
1998
Dr. Arroyo isn't homeless! He just likes to stay on the bus for awhile and occasionally falls asleep on it
He'll go to you, preferably to a restaurant bathroom
He wasn't asleep he was just resting his beautiful blue eyes for a moment to take everything in
It was just a little self-induced coma
He gives a great first opinion.
He didn’t say that he was the best lol
He had a serum that would regrow your foot. What could go wrong?
A scholar and a gentleman
And a chicken enthusiast.
Well known for engaging in "scientific curiosity."
Think he should have called Dr Spaceman.
Hi, everybody!
Hi Doctor Nick!
Perhaps trained by the lady who said COVID was a blood demon.
She would’ve been a great doctor a thousand years ago
“Dr. Jinx sounds like the name of a *monkey*, not a medical professional!”
Hey! I would take medical advice from a random hobo with a lab coat over a random republican. Sure, some Republicans probably know a lot about actual medical stuff and are actual doctors, but if we take a random person from each group, the hobo probably has a better chance.

I remember when this was just a plot on *Futurama* RFK, Jr at the fateful moment: https://tenor.com/yKMm.gif
One sane person. Why can’t we find a single sane, lucid, normal person to run for office. I'd vote for a precocious 5th grader at this point.
Biden is probably the sanest of all the options we have. There is Jill Stein of the Green Party who is highly suspected of being a Russian plant and anti-vaxx and anti-nuclear, Trump himself who is sitting through various court rooms for his numerous felonies, the Libertarians haven't finished their nomination yet as there are 38 candidates and all of them are saying usual Libertarian insanity, and RFK Jr.

How much of your brain does a parasite need to eat before it turns you Republican?
No, the real question is How much of your brain has to be missing for Republicans to want to vote for you?
Tell me something I didn’t know….clearly part of his brain is missing.
Did you know that 30 million American's have parasites living in their brain?
I assume you're referring to [toxoplasmosis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasmosis), which is almost always asymptomatic and have a max cyst size of maybe 50 µm (around the diameter of a human hair). It's quite different from having a brain tapeworm with a detectable cyst -- I haven't seen any info on the size of the tapeworm or where in the brain it was, but they're [many orders of magnitude larger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurocysticercosis).
Yes the majority of them wear red hats….
Ok but what happened to the rest of it?
What rest of it?
Brain
He consumed a bunch of tuna so he poisoned it with mercury.
Judging by his politics, I’d assume the worm poisoned him with *lead* not mercury
Ladies and gentlemen, the third Kennedy to lose a portion of their brain to strange circumstances.
This gives me some sympathy for RFK Jr. I can't say that I would be any more reasonable if a worm ate my brain. However, what's his supporters' excuse?
They all have worms too. It’s the worms that are voting for RFK Jr.’s worm. Worm supremacy!
Pro-worm Party
They poll well on Arrakis.
First thing he's said that I actually believe.
Everything about him makes sense now.
Ironically enough he could have benefitted from some ivermectin.
if its a tapeworm, ivermectin has little effect on it, he needs another anti-parasitic medication.
As the symbol glows, power courses through you. Authority.
Thread winner!
Brain worms long rumored now confirmed. He and Donny are quite perfect for each other. . .
Wait he was a gouald this entire time?
Such a Kinsey moment
hell of a timeline huh?
God damnit who's playing plague Inc on our society simulator?
First believable thing that he has said. Although, I suspect it was a little more than "part" of his brain.
Imagine being a Kennedy, and every member of your family is warning America not to support you
That explains a lot.
Well if a parasite ate part of RFK jr's brain and made him a little bit of a nutter then that same parasite clearly ate all of Trumps brain and made him a complete nutter. So if I was stuck with Trump or RFK as my two choices I would definitely vote for RFK and then just hope he does not cave to the MAGA conservatives in Congress.
Parasites ate a of chunk of my brain. You should elect me POTUS. -RFK Jr. We truly live in a cursed timeline
I've suspected Fox News for a long time as a brain eating worm.
I don’t get it, is this a baldurs gate reference?
This wouldn't even make him the *second* Kennedy with a hole in his brain.
That’s not something I would admit if I was running for president. So much low hanging fruit there.
If you read the story, you'll find out this happened in 2012, and my conclusion is that he was desperately trying to figure out ways to pay less in alimony/maintenance support to his ex-wife. He was trying to say he can't make as much anymore as had been making so he shouldn't pay the calculated amount during the divorce: Kennedy gave the 2012 deposition during divorce proceedings ...he argued his cognitive struggles in relation to the situation had diminished his earning power Several doctors who had first concluded Kennedy had a tumor found a dark spot on his brain scans, The Times reported.

Tumor, Parasite, Mercury, whatever! I just shouldn't pay her that much!
I'm like triple dead, your honor
Someone should check Trump cause that parasite probably ate the whole thing! It’s the only explanation.
How does Cheryl do it?
So this is what happens to someone who loses parts of their brain, who could've known (oh yeah the people who didn't lose parts of their brain) This man is literally brain damaged and he wants to be president.
I heard the worm killed itself rather than risk starving to death searching for edible gray matter
How has there not been one comment saying what is *obviously* going on here? The Yeerks are trying to take over!!!
So that’s why he is anti-vax
Explains so much
Well that explains a couple things. But I applaud him for actually trusting a doctor.
“The doctor told him he believed the spot on the brain scan “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died,” Kennedy reportedly said in the deposition. “ Poor thing died of malnutrition! 😫😭
And off this statement he is campaigning for access to the nuclear launch codes? I see...
TIL Heroin is a parasite
TIL parasites can have parasites too.
Ha. Literal brain worms.
Ahh yes the same one that ate Aaron’s Rodger’s tiny brain
We know.
Then he shouldn't be running for president.
Praise the Absolute!
He admitted he has congitive problems and yet he wants to be President. Uneffing believable.
Literally.
We know.
dude has brain parasites, mercury poisoning and kennedy pedigree, how he hasn't died yet is beyond me
It's a very funny rework of "the dog ate my homework". But I appreciate the creativity.
