Elizabeth Banks! Funny, smart, sexy, & cool. Plus, she's wickedly talented in comedy, drama, writing & directing.
She's the whole package; a force for positivity that puts a smile on my face.

As evidenced by him surviving in the mid-'90s Topps comic sequel with a literal "Nah, I'm too good at hunting raptors to actually get eaten, so I just bobbed and weaved outta there" - yes, I bought those comics, I'm very normal.

New MN state motto: "If you saw something, no you didn't."
How strong is my impulse to not tell on my neighbors is, as we descend deeper into a fascist police state? I just passed a guy eating a snack cake in a grocery store aisle. I just kept walking, didn't alert authorities, didn't negotiate with Tom Homan at all.

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.

Yeah, this is not even taking a knee. Basic expressions of empathy or solidarity, or concern about government abuses, can trigger attacks from the President and trigger death threats.
Amber Glenn won Olympic gold on Sunday. That same day, she left social media because of death threats. Her offense: she'd told reporters the queer community is going through "a hard time." The headline called it "backlash." www.readtpa.com/p/the-thresh...

The right used to attack athletes who protested. Now they attack athletes who express feelings at all.

THIRD, the movie updates the trans metaphor of the trilogy to now include de-transitioners and late in life transitioners. It also refocuses the story as a proper love story between Neo and Trinity as equal partners in their power.
