🐻 A young black bear cub balances on a tree branch in the Smoky Mountains — a fleeting moment of innocence and strength. Captured in black and white, this photograph by Dan Sproul highlights the textures of fur, bark, and shadow, reminding us how powerful simplicity can be. 🌲

The story I needed this morning —

“Now thriving after more than a month of around-the-clock care, the cub is expected to remain at the center for up to a year. Staff are using enrichment sessions that mimic maternal behavior to prepare him for a future return to the wild, including staff members dressed as bears, plush toys and camouflaged headsets."

In addition to his outside-the-mainstream views about medicine and health, #RFKJr has been associated with a number of peculiar activities, like dumping a dead #BearCub in Central Park and supposedly decapitating a #whale.

Nobody can resist a good mud puddle. Nobody.

A black bear cub patiently waits for their mum to bring back a salmon for breakfast. It was a bit foggy when I took this photo. Cubs are fun to watch and photograph. Some are super shy, others are playful.

To start the weekend on a beautiful note, this is a cute black bear cub exploring the shoreline of Vancouver Island with its mum and learning a few salmon fishing tips at the same time.

#RFKJr’s crackpot ideas go well beyond #covid to the #DEBUNKED claim that childhood #vaccines cause autism, that #WiFi causes “#LeakyBrain,” that #chemicals in the water supply might turn children #transgender, that #AIDS might not be caused by #HIV, that #Republicans stole the 2004 election &that #5G networks are used for mass surveillance. And that was BEFORE we learned about his #BrainWorm & the #BearCub.
#Trump this wk said #RFKJr has “got some very good ideas” that “turned out to be right.”

#Law enforcement took the #BearCub to Albany for analysis & determined that it had been hit by a car, likely outside the park. They also confiscated the bicycle to test for fingerprints.

“I was worried because my prints were all over that bike,” #RFKJr says in the video….

But the mystery remained unsolved, & the story eventually faded away. Now, almost 10 yrs later, Kennedy said he was prompted to come clean ahead of an anticipated New Yorker exposé.

“I wasn’t drinking, of course, but people were drinking w/me who thought this was a good idea,” #RFKJr said. “So we went & did that & we thought it would be amusing for whoever found it, or something.” [the man is completely #insane]

The 6-month-old, 44-pound #BearCub made national news after a dog walker stumbled upon it …in a wide-open part of the park right near the path where thousands of people run & bike each day.
…

“I had to go to the airport, & the bear was in my car, & I didn’t want to leave the bear in the car because that would have been bad,” #RFKJr continues.

Then, as he put it, “the little bit of the redneck in me” had an idea.

RFKJr just happened to have an old bike in his car, … & decided to stage the #BearCub in #CentralPark as if it had been hit by a bike.

It shows him sitting at a kitchen table, telling an incredulous-looking Roseanne Barr (yes, the canceled comedian) about how the dead #BearCub ended up in his van upstate &, ultimately, on top of a bicycle beneath a bush in #NYC’s largest urban park.

#RFKJr… says he was driving upstate early one morning to take a group of people falconing… when a driver in front of him fatally hit a bear cub.

The #ConspiracyTheorist-turned-third-party candidate’s campaign has weathered a series of increasingly improbable-sounding scandals in recent months, from Kennedy’s admission that a #worm ate part of his #brain to his denial of reports that he once ate barbecued dog (he said it was a goat).

#RFKJr unleashed this latest one himself, in a 3-min video posted to X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.

#RFKJr confesses he left a dead bear cub in #CentralPark 10 yrs ago

A decade after the shocking discovery of a #BearCub carcass in Manhattan’s Central Park, the mystery of who dumped it there has finally been solved.

And the man taking responsibility is none other than presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
