A potential bombshell political story not related to the United States Presidential Election dropped last night, when British tabloid The Sun reported that Vladimir Putin is planning to resign early in 2021 due to possible Parkinson's concerns.

The Sun claimed that "Moscow sources" stated that recent footage of Putin suggested that some physical tics were indicators of Parkinson's disease. Speculation was fuelled further when Putin began working to get a legal measure making him immune to prosecution after his reign ends through Russian government.

The one named source The Sun cited was Moscow political scientist Professor Valery Solovei, who noted that Putin's family was pressuring him to resign from office. Solovei has been saying Putin is on the verge of resigning for years, setting the timeline between 2020 and 2024 in previous interviews, so he may be vindicated.

However, the Russian government has denied the rumor. Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, said Putin was in "excellent health" and "is not going to resign," though that must be taken with a grain of salt.

As the news broke through Twitter last night, multiple users had the surreal experience of learning about the story through a Twitter post that was also celebrating the canonization of "Destiel," a ship in the Supernatural fandom between characters Dean and Castiel that is arguably one of the most legendary ships for old Tumblr users in the early 2010s. The original tweet has since been deleted, but its shockwaves were felt throughout Twitter for the night.
