Olivia Munn Sickened by Brutal Attack on Chinese Woman
There’s been a massive uptick in attacks against Asian Americans since the coronavirus pandemic began. In New York City, such crimes are up 1900%. Actress Oliva Munn is speaking out to Inside Edition after a recent attack in Queens hit close to home. It hit home for Munn because her mother is of Chinese descent, and she’s also friends with the victim’s son. Cops say during a verbal dispute, the assailant threw a box at the woman and then pushed her to the ground. My mom shouldn’t have to feel this way. 😡 #StopAsianHate #ProtectOurElders pic.twitter.com/c8ZX9WJxZg — O M (@oliviamunn) February 28, 2021
Watched Wonder Woman 1984
'The time of greatness is now.' Wonder Woman 1984 It's pretty cool it's set in the 80's, specifically 1984. No, it's not as good as the first Gal Gadot Wonder Woman film. The first WW film, released three years ago in 2017, has a 93% Tomatometer score and a 84% audience score at Rotten Tomatoes. WW84 only has 65% and 73% respectively. But Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman plus 80's fashion/trends -- I give it a 'thumbs up.' The time of greatness is now. ✨ #WW84 is NOW PLAYING in theaters and streaming exclusively on @hbomax * - Get tickets: https://t.co/WaC55k6Y92 *Available on HBO Max in the US only, for 31 days from its release, at no extra cost to subscribers. pic.twitter.com/9AVShY4BMo — Wonder Woman 1984 (@WonderWomanFilm) December 27, 2020 I love Gal Gadot!

Filipino woman feeds fellow migrants in need
A Filipino woman in Dubai is feeding dozens of migrants each day. Despite being unemployed herself, Feby Dela Peña is adamant on helping others. In the sweltering heat of the late afternoon in Dubai, Feby Dela Peña arrives with 200 free meals of rice, fried fish and boiled eggs. The 34-year-old Filipina mother of three is unemployed and relies on her husband's modest income from a sales job. But when she saw people lining up for free meals one night outside her building, she decided to use whatever money her family had to help out. This is the first time in 12 years of living in Dubai that she has seen Filipinos like herself standing in line for a free meal. "Life is so hard and they don't have anyone to depend on," Dela Peña says. "If I stop this, many people will stop eating," she adds. As with most migrant workers in Dubai, the family lives in a shared apartment with 11 other housemates. Some of them also chipped in when they heard of h...
