“[Children] don’t have a problem, they just don’t have a problem. It doesn’t have an impact on them. I’ve watched some doctors say they’re totally immune.”
– President Donald Trump, in a video commentary on why schools should re-open, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
The video had been tweeted out by Trump’s reelection campaign, but was promptly removed by Twitter for violating its newly-minted standards against spreading false information.

Since 2014, wildlife filmmaker and photographer Mithun H has searched for Saya, a black panther that’s been eluding his admirers in the Kabini Forest in India for years. After camping out in the area for six days recently, the photographer captured an image of Saya, alongside his leopard companion, Cleopatra.
Mithun H notes that the couple has been together for four years and has an feline atypical relationship. “Usually in the courting pairs generally it is the male who takes charge and moves around with the female following close behind. But with this couple, it was definitely Cleo who was in charge while the panther followed,” he wrote on Instagram.
Mithun H has previously worked with National Geographic Wild on The Real Black Panther, which follows Saya’s life.

“Hello, you don’t need a mask. There is a cure.”
– Stella Immanuel, a Houston-based primary care physician and minister who, in a recent video, declared that the COVID-19 coronavirus can be easily cured.
The video was retweeted by – who else – Donald Trump, which Twitter promptly removed. Immanuel has already joined the President in touting hydroxychloroquine as a cure for COVID-19, but also has a history of making particularly outlandish statements — including that the uterine disorder endometriosis is caused by sex with demons that takes place in dreams.
For the curious: incubus.

“So it sort of is curious: A man works for us – with us, very closely, Dr. Fauci, and Dr. Birx also highly thought of. And yet, they’re highly thought of, but nobody likes me. It can only be my personality. That’s all.”
– President Donald Trump, in a White House press briefing on July 29.
No, Donald, that’s not true. A handful of people like you: Vladimir Putin, David Duke, most of your family, and a slew of delightfully deranged voters. I personally pray for the latter group.
