\u27a2 HBO Max caused the Internet to EXPLODE yesterday when it announced that it was removing\u00a0“Gone with the Wind”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0because of racism and the glorification of the Civil War-era South. People were so freaked out, the movie\u00a0sold out<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on Amazon.<\/p>\n HBO Max later said they’ll bring\u00a0“Gone with the Wind”<\/em>\u00a0back, and will do so in its original form.\u00a0 But it’ll be accompanied by, quote, “a discussion of its historical context and a denouncement of [its depictions of ethnic and racial prejudices].”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u27a2 Cool Ranch Doritos are coming back to Canada. When the pandemic struck, people not only loaded up on toilet paper, but Doritos stocks as well, leaving store aisles empty. To keep up with demand, the company had to stop making certain flavors to focus on the most popular ones. Doritos cut every flavor other than the most popular three \u2014 Nacho Cheese, Sweet Chilli Heat, and Zesty Cheese. Cool Ranch, the fourth most popular flavor, will return to store shelves across the country this month.<\/p>\n \u27a2 Wild boars don\u2019t care if your train is late.

Within moments, a wave of Black Lives Matter protestors passed the couple’s venue on their way to Logan Park,\u00a0where the crowd would be demonstrating against police brutality and white supremacy. And so, in another change of plans, the two decided to join the demonstration for their wedding ceremony<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A hotel in England has stayed open during the pandemic to give homeless people a free place to stay.\u00a0 And they’ve been\u00a0returning the favor by doing odd jobs<\/a>\u00a0like gardening, cleaning up, and helping them build a new patio.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [75] Robert Munsch, children\u2019s author<\/p>\n [61] Hugh Laurie, actor (\u201cHouse MD\u201d 2004-12)<\/p>\n [51] Peter Dinklage, (\u2018Tyrion Lannister\u2019 on \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d 2011-19)<\/p>\n [42] Joshua Jackson, Vancouver BC, actor (\u201cDawson\u2019s Creek\u201d 1998-2003<\/p>\n [34] Shia LaBeouf, actor<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Treasure Chest Worth $1 Million Has Been Found in the Rocky Mountains<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Ten years ago, an art dealer and author named\u00a0Forrest Fenn<\/strong>\u00a0put at least $1 million worth of gold, jewelry, and other valuable items in a treasure chest and hid it somewhere in the Rocky Mountains.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
