R.F.K., JR.: A DAY IN THE LIFE
The New Yorker
|September 29, 2025
Upon waking each morning, I open my drapes, remove the tinfoil over the windows, and stare directly at the sun for thirty to forty-five minutes until everything goes white and I can no longer see, which is when you know it's working.
I'm not exactly sure what's working, but I know it is and I know it's been proved.
By promoting suspicions about the institutions he oversees, critics say Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is jeopardizing public health. He says he is pursuing transparency.
-The Times.
CHERYL LOVES TO drive, so I'm the passenger most days. But not in the passenger seat. Not a lot of people know this, but the inside of the car is more dangerous than the outside. So what I've been doing for some time is lying on a sled I've attached to the undercarriage of the car. People ask “Isn't that dangerous?” and I laugh, because it's ten times safer than inside the car. And they say, “No, seriously, that seems incredibly dangerous,” and I'm, like, “You don’t get it.” I literally have the study on my office desk, or maybe in a drawer, and maybe it's a new study and it's out of Yemen and it disproves every “safety” feature that companies like Volvo claim is good for you. Yes, the Swedes are oddly beautiful, but they are known liars about safety.

REALISTIC HIGH-SCHOOL YEARBOOK INSCRIPTIONS
Abby! I can't believe we did it! Four years went by like that! Will you promise to keep in touch?! Let’s see each other once or twice this summer and then not again for about fifteen years, when we're both staying at a serviceable two-star resort that’s just fine with allowing small children fighting a horrible stomach bug to play in the pool. —Missy
