  • Depends on the grenade. Lotta people who talk about “grenade no work like that” are talking about a specific type of grenade they are familiar with.

    Some grenades have very easy pins to pull, some grenades start the fuse as soon as the the pin is pulled, some require the spoon be depressed for the pin to be pulled.

    Reality is, there are many types of grenades that work in different ways.

    It’s an attempt to create a unified narrative that can tie together a number of disparate groups. Groups who have no chance of winning elections or joining another coalition. Groups whose goals and ambitions are so antithetical to public interest that they can never actually say what they want out loud.

    The reason this document is so bizarre and unhinged is because it’s trying to speak the language of people who have to speak in a series of dog whistles to prevent being disregarded out of hand.

    It’s a rallying cry to all those who are upset when they get held accountable for saying what they actually think.









  • See, this is kind of my opinion about streaming services, I ain’t gonna pay them anything unless they’re picking up independent projects I want supported.

    I’m certainly not going to pay them for designed by corporate committee drivel that makes up 95% of original streaming content.

    The fact that Tubi exists basically applies clown makeup to all the other streaming services. Like, Tubi shows me ads as or less frequently as the payed services and I don’t need to make an account to use it. That’s a huge plus for me personally as I’m tired of account bloat.

    It doesn’t have every show or movie ever but no streaming services does. Its original shows are totally uninteresting to me, but that’s also true of 95% of new original shows on other streaming services. I ain’t about to shell out 8 dollars a month and sit through 10 minutes of ads every hour just to watch a couple of prestige shows.

    And there are plenty of options for watching everything, for free, without ads, assuming you’re willing to jump through a couple hoops.
