Bill Maher shreds cancel culture: It belongs in Stalins Russia – Fox News

Comedian Bill Maher slammed "cancel culture" on his HBO program Friday night and said that the practice belongs in "Stalin’s Russia."

BILL MAHER SLAMS CDC'S ‘CONFUSING’ NEW MASK GUIDANCE: 'IT'S CALLED SCIENCE, PEOPLE!' "Young people have to stop flattering themselves that they’re Nostradamus and would have foreseen had they been around back then everything that is unacceptable now," Maher told his audience.

Hawaii reports 485 new COVID cases in highest single-day total since the start of the pandemic; no additional fatalities – Hawaii News Now

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Amid an ongoing surge in COVID cases across the state, Hawaii reported 485 new infections Saturday in the highest single-day total since the start of the pandemic. According to DOH Spokesperson Brooks Baehr, all the cases reported Saturday are from the latest 24-hour reporting period, which ended at 11:59 pm Thursday. The increase in cases comes as the state Health Department reported 622 COVID cases on Friday, which officials said was a result of delayed lab reporting and a continued rise in cases. The electronic laboratory reporting system interruption experienced earlier in the week has since been fully resolved, according to Brooks. Of the cases reported, 315 were on Oahu, 101 on Hawaii Island, nine on Kauai and 42 on Maui. There were also 18 residents diag...

Cuba Gooding Jr. May Have To Rape Accuser Millions Due To Ditching Court – Yahoo Lifestyle

Ain't No Mo Opening Night Party - Arrivals.Source: Joseph Marzullo/WENN.com / WENN Since Cuba Gooding Jr. hasn’t shown up to court to defend himself against rape accusations, he may have to pay his accuser $6 million. An unidentified woman, who is going by Jane Doe, accused Gooding Jr. of raping her in 2013 and filed a lawsuit against him last year. From the beginning of the case, the Boyz N The Hood star has ignored his court dates and hasn’t made an effort to defend himself against the charges. Federal Judge Paul Crotty then issued a default judgement against him July 29, ruling that he is liable in this case due to his absences, Page Six reported. “Defendant’s failure to appear in this case or answer the complaint after being properly served indicates that his default was willful,” C...

Clifford pulled from theater schedules due to Delta worries – The A.V. Club

Someone needs to put a mask on that dog.Photo: Paramount Pictures Everything old is new (and lousy) again today, as Deadline reports that Paramount Pictures has done the impossible and managed to leash Clifford The Big Red Dog, pulling the upcoming film from its planned September 17 release date. The reason is a familiar one, and one that we’d all hoped we’d seen the back of by this point: COVID-19 concerns. Specifically, the film—which stars Jack Whitehall and Darby Camp as the human servitors of the massive scarlet canine, voiced by David Alan Grier—is being pulled from that fall release spot because Paramount is worried about what concerns over the Delta variant of the disease might do to families’ willingness to hit the theaters and spend time with their large red friend. As hospi...

Scientists find a real life Patrick and Spongebob in ocean expedition – Fox News

Scientists have discovered what some are calling the "real life" SpongeBob and Patrick: from the timeless and beloved Nickelodeon cartoon "SpongeBob SquarePants." The characters, a yellow sea sponge with buck teeth and a pinheaded pink starfish, have been on television for more than two decades.  HOW TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SHARK ATTACK So, when the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Retriever Seamount – a remotely-operated deep-sea vehicle – caught the pair sitting side-by-side in the Atlantic Ocean, it was hard for Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History marine biologist Christopher Mah not to make the comparison.  "I normally avoid these refs..but WOW.

Vaccines save Provincetown after COVID outbreak that triggered CDC mask U-turn – Daily Mail

A famed conservative columnist who lives at the epicenter of the United States' latest Delta COVID cluster said of the virus 'Let it rip' after seeing how mild his vaccinated friends' symptoms were.  Writer Andrew Sullivan says the COVID-19 outbreak in Provincetown, Massachusetts, that infected around 900 people and triggered CDC's mask U-turn was sparked by wild July 4 indoor parties following Pride Week.  This outbreak was behind the CDC's sudden backpedal on mask recommendations for vaccinated Americans to wear masks in indoor places in COVID hot spots.   But now Sullivan says first-hand experience of his friends' illnesses showed that the Indian Delta variant poses little risk to vaccinated people - and called for restrictions to be lifted once and for all. Writing his his popular blo...
