In October last year, a group of Brazilian senators asserted that Bolsonaro intentionally allowed thousands of people to die from COVID-19 by downplaying its significance. The Brazilian president is considered by many to be one of the world’s most vocal COVID-19 deniers, and now a new independent study of 853 counties in the Minas Gerais state finds counties that voted for Bolsonaro in the 2018 election are more likely to have higher incidences and death rates from COVID-19....

Our July 17 Harry Potter cover story and book excerpt drew letters from many fans of the young wizard. “This was the first year I had to struggle to get my students to stop reading during math class,” wrote a veteran teacher, praising J. K. Rowling’s phenomenally popular series. An 11-year-old said he felt “a pang of grief” when he finished reading the new Potter book because he missed his friend Harry....

After the interview with 60 Minutes, the measured praise by the Vermont senator that the island’s leader had improved educational standards among his people led to “Castro” trending across Sunday night and Monday morning.

In a viral post on Reddit, which can be seen here, user Flbudskis explained their cat stands on its hind legs when he hears bell noises.

Justine, who posts on TikTok with the username The Vet Soapbox, filmed a black-and-white female who looked as if she hadn’t been brushed in years and appeared to be struggling to move around. The state of the cat’s coat was so bad it was thought she was beyond help, as Justine said in the video, uploaded on Monday: “Brought to be euthanized.” Rather than putting down the otherwise healthy cat, however, the team got to work trying to save the animal’s life, carefully removing each tuft....

Cyberpunk 2077 launched with a litany of bugs and poor technical performance, especially for players who purchased the game on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. The launch state of the game was so poorly received that Sony made the unprecedented decision to pull Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store, which has yet to return to despite numerous updates.

Well the Fox broadcast certainly captured the essence of Eagles fans Sunday, as whoever is behind the controls hit the boo button on Carson Wentz. The Eagles quarterback was struggling in Philadelphia’s home game against the Rams. After a failed third-down throw, “fans” could be heard booing their quarterback.

The Switzerland-based body will confirm the verdict at 10:30 local time (08:30 GMT) on Monday, it said in a statement on Friday.

Casey jumped 28 spots to take the lead at six under, alongside American Austin Cook. Englishman Casey used an eagle on the par-five fifth hole and four birdies to card a round of five-under 66. Cook powered his way to first place behind five birdies. But it is a congested leaderboard, with world number one Dustin Johnson just two strokes off the pace. Johnson finished the day with one of the more colourful scorecards....

Footage of the feline making the jump up into the shade, which looks to be made out of paper, was shared to TikTok by psykbryt_, and appears to have originated from Sweden. In the clip, the cat can be seen appearing to defy the laws of gravity — and the old adage that “what goes up must come down.” Jumping vertically, the cat finds a way to latch on to the edges of the open hole of the lampshade before squeezing their entire body inside....

Adam Cole already was one of the biggest stars of Ring of Honor. That went to another level which he was revealed as the newest member of the Bullet Club at the recent Ring of Honor “Global Wars” pay-per-view. It was a huge surprise to see the former ROH World Champion become a part of the ultra-popular faction — despite their nefarious ways — which continues to be a big part New Japan Pro Wrestling and has since spread to ROH with shockwaves spreading around the globe and even in the WWE....

Dermine said young people can be especially affected by demonic energies because of secularism, imagery in video games and a lack of role models. “Secularization leaves a void,” Dermine said. “Young people do not have anything to satisfy their spiritual and profound needs. They are thirsting for something, and the Church is not attractive anymore.” Dermine called the involvement of young people in a culture that celebrates the demonic a “Satanist mentality,” saying that those who are engaged with that culture “can become evil themselves very easily....

That said, however, no counterterrorism expert will ever concede the risk has ended-it’s a tough world out there, they say, and the world’s last remaining superpower has plenty of enemies. “I believe [the World Trade Center bombing] is an action inspired by a combination of frustration and resentment at the world leadership role of the United States,” said Robert O’Neill, former director of London’s International Institute for Strategic Studies and a professor of modern history at Oxford....

Love took full advantage of the opportunity, posting 25 points on 8-of-11 shooting in 21 minutes. He also went 5-of-7 from the 3-point line, thanks to the kindness of teammates who kept an eye out for him. Such is the beauty of the current construction of the Cavaliers. They have three players who are accustomed to being the feature player, and Love appeared especially comfortable as the No. 1 option in Cleveland’s 106-100 preseason win....

That isn’t sustainable in the long run, but it’s important to remember the Cavaliers were also one of the better 3-point shooting teams in the regular season. They were second to only the Warriors in makes (10.7 per game) and their 3-point percentage (.362) was tied with the Hornets for seventh. Combine their volume in the playoffs with some tactical decisions from Tyronn Lue and it’s easier to put their success into context....
