Michael Moore says Texans don’t deserve vaccine
Director Michael Moore criticised Texas for its decision to reopen the state and remove its mask mandate in a series of tweets
Texas - we hear you. You didn’t want to be part of our electrical grid. And now you’ve removed your mask mandate & are allowing large crowds to gather. We hear you! COVID is a hoax! So u don’t need our precious vaccine. We’ll send it to ppl who are saving lives by wearing masks. Michael Moore (@MMFlint) March 3, 2021
2. Yes, we must and will find a way to vaccinate the poor and people of color in Texas. To Texans who say, hey, it’s not me - it’s the Governor! Well, then, impeach and remove him. We’re tired of this. Don’t mess with Texas? Happy to oblige. Michael Moore (@MMFlint) March 3, 2021

The Elders have voiced grave concern about the lack of ambition from many world leaders, as the UN reports back on carbon commitments ahead of the crucial COP26 climate summit in Glasgow this November.
Despite growing momentum for drastic action, many major economies have yet to submit their national carbon reduction pledges to the UN’s climate body (UNFCCC), or have put forward commitments that woefully fail to deliver.
Mary Robinson, Chair of The Elders said:
“Whilst the EU and the UK deserve praise for going bold and going early on climate pledges, the most impressive climate leadership has come from vulnerable countries like Rwanda and Jamaica who have put forward plans that deserve both emulation and investment.
Review Round-Up: Chaos Walking
Chaos Walking [34] reviews are coming in now (not encouraging so far): https://t.co/UQVakg0ITS Beneath its perfectly entertaining surface, the film is a mess of contradictions that fails to live up to its own potential. - Slant Magazine (in theaters Friday) pic.twitter.com/0r9JOA7JUC metacritic (@metacritic) March 3, 2021
Poor Tommy Holland can t catch a break. Last week Cherry landed with a thud and now Chaos Walking lands with an even bigger thud. Who knew a movie that looked and sounded terrible from the jump is just that.
Critic Summary:
The San Fran Chronicle Reasonably engrossing, but not fun, and also depressing, repulsive and annoying. There is a reason this is just now coming out after filming years ago.
Why Does Fire Fighters’ ‘Fill the Boot’ Charity Fill the Union’s Coffers?
Thousands of “panhandlers” in oversized suspenders camp outside of town squares and churches and major intersections every Labor Day. Instead of fast food cups, they plead with passersby to donate what they can into large rubber galoshes, exhorting them to “Fill the boot!” Perhaps that is why they are so well-received by busy motorists. It also helps that these men are standing in front of fire engines.
The International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) has turned this spectacle into a wildly successful charity benefit, generating about $20 million each year for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. But a series of multi-million dollar payments from the charity to the scandal-plagued labor union have led some fire fighters and union officials to question the arrangement.
