What Does Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Actually Want? | The New Yorker

What Does Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Actually Want?

The third-party Presidential candidate has a troubled past, a shambolic campaign, and some surprisingly good poll numbers.

Kennedy’s family members have been nearly unanimous in opposing his campaign. Last fall, four of his siblings released a statement calling his run “perilous for our country.”

Universal Mother

‘O’Connor intentionally undermined her pop world ascendancy by spurning the trappings of fame, and this attracted derision from those who could not understand the path she chose.’

via Granta: https://granta.com/universal-mother/

The public watched an artist lean into her self-destructive impulses, seemingly unafraid to lose it all. What drives someone to win awards but boycott award ceremonies, to embrace being mercilessly booed at Madison Square Gardens after selling millions of copies and conquering the charts? She was so happy, in her dressing room, after ripping up the photo. Being a pop star didn’t suit her, she admits in an interview from Nothing Compares. ‘I didn’t throw away any career I ever wanted.’ Celebrity was an endlessly frustrating by-product of sharing a creative self with the world, but she was always willing to let it go.

Inside the ‘Nightmare’ Health Crisis of a Texas Bitcoin Town

A Bitcoin mine moved to a small town in Texas. One by one, the residents fell ill.

None of them knew what, exactly, was causing these symptoms. But they all shared a singular grievance: a dull aural hum had crept into their lives, which growled or roared depending on the time of day, rattling their windows and rendering them unable to sleep. The hum, local law enforcement had learned, was emanating from a Bitcoin mining facility that had recently moved into the area—and was exceeding legal noise ordinances on a daily basis.
