Day 516

• Andrew Cuomo has resigned for sexual harassment as Governor of the State of New York.
• Another sacrifice to football, and the games haven't even begun yet:  This one, Virginia Union University, an HBCU in Georgia, Quandarius Wilburn, 19 years old -- at practice.
• A criminology lecturer at multiple California colleges has been flagged as a wildfire arsonist during the worst of California's fire season.  Gary Maynard is the fucktard's name, according to The Daily Beast through Keith Olbermann.
• A Welsh man and his family resisted getting the coronavirus vaccine due to what they believed misinformation.  Then, the dad went in for kidney stones to the hospital, and two days later, he and the mom went to a brother's apartment.  Now, all three have passed, within days, due to the virus.
• Georgia:  A vaccine-hesitant couple finally scheduled their first shots.  They never got there -- both got COVID and passed away from it!

Speaking of the virus, the following events have all been postponed or cancelled due to the Rise of the Delta Variant:

• The 2021 New Orleans Jazz Festival, the THIRD postponement of the event
• New Orleans' Run Dress Run
• It's 2021 Gretna Heritage Festival
• Limp Bizkit has cancelled it's tour, at least the rest of this month.
• The 2021 New York Oyster Festival
• The 2021 Chocktaw Indian Labor Day Festival

And the website Zero Hedge, where I got that partial list, snarkily asks how this could be, since the vaccine was supposed to return us to normal...  Forgetting (quite conveniently -- it's Red Hat Central) that the full vaccination rate in this country is nowhere near where it needs to be to safely hold events.  Hell, Debbie Gibson is supposed to do an eight-night Vegas residency this month and next around her 51st birthday with former New Kid on the Block Joey McIntyre.  Yeah, I'm damned concerned -- and that has NOTHING to do with external misconduct!  She's already HAD the coronavirus AND associated pneumonia (at least if I read what she said earlier this year correctly!).
