Did you enjoy typing all that up? Because — nobody cares, nerd! — that whooshing sound is you missing the rabble-rousing tone by a country mile. It is a cute idea.

Besides which, we’ve been seeing punching-kicking stylized martial arts choreography from both men and women for a long time. The visual language of movie badassery evolves over time.

Thank you for letting us know the video doesn’t explain anything. Saved everybody some time.

Love that movie. She was not an actress, but Soderbergh built that movie around her. She’s fantastic in it, and it’s very believable badassery.

We’d have to completely reinvent water management, meat production would probably be wiped out, and we might have to spend fifteen minutes suppressing a rebellion in the area that wished to be called Jefferson.

What force? Come at us, bro.

Red states will hire people to sit in front of the entrance to bathrooms and render an official state declaration of which gender bathroom you may use on each occasion.

You have residue from my troll; kindly dismiss it.

Didn’t they try to grab them by the pussy? Sad!

Internalize the stars and replies.

True, Kennedy’s not in the bag, but can be problematic. They won’t win every battle, but every win they do get helps them tighten their grip.

Isn’t one of those pandas now dead? Thanks, Obama!

Not everyone can flee red states. Fleeing requires resources.
