The Tubi user base continues to grow (74 Million+), as do their Live Channels and Movies/TV Shows available to stream. Below are 8 movies recently added on Tubi, with some Bonus movies. Check them out!
About: There are multiple of these Die Hard movies on Tubi currently. However, just watch Die Hard: With A Vengeance because it is easily the best one. NYC. The Summer. Germans. Samuel L. Jackson.
About: Maybe not the best of the Will Ferrell/John C. Reilly movies (Step Brothers probably?), but man if 17 year old me didn’t etch lines of this movie in my brain for the rest of my life. Lil’ baby Jesus, and the rest.
About: A sexy (eh, sorta), funny (eh, sorta), thriller (eh, sorta). Look it’s not the best nor the most coherent nor the friendliest to women or Middle Easterners, BUT it’s pretty fun. Turn that brain off and hit play.
About: A campy, fun 80’s horror movie, based of the Stephen King book of the same name. I like this movie, but I HATE Corn Children.
Bonus Movies: 8 Mile, Pan’s Labryanth, Selena, You Got Served, Hacksaw Ridge, How High. And find all Recently Added To Tubi Movies Here: https://tubitv.com/category/recently_added

How many streaming services are you paying for? How much a month do they add up to?
And that likely doesn’t even include what you are paying for high-speed internet! And commercials now too! Boo! They have fully Cable-ized streaming services.
It sucks and you likely are paying for some you aren’t even using, or if you are, maybe just few times a year when a new season of a good show comes out every 1 to 2 years.
Here’s my trick to minimize the money you are giving to these ghouls.
Quick note before we get into the step by step guide: Some of these platforms/services have yearly options, and these can have discounts compared to paying by month. If you know it’s a platform you use frequently, it may be better option to go the yearly route.
Step 1: Unsubscribe from every service with a monthly fee.
Spotify. Washington Post. Netflix. HBO Max. Uber Gold. Tinder. ESPN+. Disney+. Every Patreon. Everything.
You want to start with a clean slate. Go through all of your cards/accounts/etc. and make a list of the monthly payments that are coming through for these different services. Then spend the 20 to 60 to 120 minutes going through, logging in, and unsubscribing/cancelling future payments.
Step 2: Take Notes On All The Services
From the list you made above make notes of their monthly cost (or discounts for yearly), and realistically how much you enjoy/need them. Is it a “must have”? Did you forget you even had been paying for it? Do others use your login info? etc.
Step 3: Think of how you can substitute some of these services.
Can you share logins with others? Have you been looking for motivation to start reading again? Maybe do a daily walk? Start-up that COVID hobby again that fell off?
Do you have a local library you can easily use? You can borrow not only books, but DVDs/Blu-Rays! Some will even have free streaming services you can get access to, such as Hoopla or Kanopy.
Step 4: As you need, start resubscribing to the services when you need them
Absolutely can’t make it without your nightly, 17th time through rewatch of F.R.I.E.N.D.S? Go for it girl.
Commute and need your pocasts ad-free, or just want to support them because they make 45 minutes each morning bearable? Right on. Slap that Join button on Patreon.
You’ll notice you will not immediately resubscribe to everything. But you’ll slowly build at least some of your previous subscriptions.
Step 5: As soon as you resubscribe to a service, UNSUBSCRIBE
This is a crucial step. Your subscription will last for the month, and then next month you repeat Step 4. There could be some services you subscribe to immediately, some you wait a month or two, or some you never subscribe to again!
Using this method I’ve successfully cut back my monthly subscriptions by ~75%, and I’m doing just fine (arguable, mike). Give it a try. Save some money. Touch some grass. Read some books.

I loved British TV ever since I was able to start watching it due to streaming around 2010. Luther, Skins, Top Gear, and Peep Show were some of my early favorites. The amount of shows available, although across a significant number of streaming services, has only grown in the last decade plus. Check out these shows from the Live Channels on Freevee. At this very moment of me writing this, and probably you reading it, I am watching Grand Designs. Can’t get enough of Kevin and his house takes.
About: In the last 3 months no human on earth has watched more Grand Designs than I. My Guinness World Record award is currently pending. I can’t get enough of this show: the genius and the hubris of these people that decide to “build their own homes”. I loathe some of them, but often I find the perseverance of them inspiring. Also there is Kevin, who holds back no punches on their lack of qualifications and often times insanity. I original got hooked on this show during first few months of Covid Pandemic, but that love has never gone away, and now you can watch 24/7 on Freevee.
About: Do I hate cars? Yes. Do I find one of the hosts of this show on par with Piers Morgan for British Unlikability? Yes. Do I love to see the stupid cars go vroom vroom? Also Yes. Duality of man. I contain multitudes. Etc. Some of the episodes are pretty meh, but often they are pretty fun.
About: The whole BBC gang showed up. We got Home and Garden. We got Scifi. We got Comedy. We got Travel. We got Earth. Imagine if the United States’ Public Broadcasting Service was as well funded as the BBC. These could all be PBS channels. A Ken Burns PBS Channel??? The dream.
About: If you thought American Antiques Road Show was pretentious, you ain’t seen nothing yet sister. I actually didn’t know the American Antiques Road Show (PBS!) was based on a British version! Well anyways, the British version is fun because 1) the accents, obviously and 2) the UK is just so much older than the US, and I think old things are just neat.
About: I can’t stop looking at the poster. I know it’s small, but look at it. Beautiful. I recently saw people razzing on this movie on Bluesky but in a fun/supportive way. If you like horror movies and you haven’t yet watched this, you gotta. You gotta watch Malignant.
About: There is something about movies where Dudes Are Getting Things Done that I can’t get enough. And as much as I dislike American Car Culture, this is a well paced, and action filled movie with Men Being Men. Remember when Dudes were Men?
About: Skyscraper didn’t make my Top Disaster Porn movies, but that doesn’t mean this non-sense idea of a movie isn’t semi-entertaining. Need to turn your mind (and heart?) off? Skyscraper is the movie for you.
About: A little British Bear wearing a little coat and a little hat, and doing little British Bear things in London? Your kids are going to love it. You’re going to love it. Cozy up with blankets and popcorn and have a nice family evening in. 🙂
About: Maybe the most perfect Camp Thriller movie of the year 1997 (and even all of the 90s)? Great performances from both Cage and Travolta. A must watch if you have never seen.
About: Recently watched this and it absolutely slaps. It doesn’t feel like a 3 hour and 15 minute movie. Remember the dual VHS version of this from when it was first released? Take me back.
About: Jon Stewart showing up is a surprise, but not as much of a surprise as how he meets his end in this late 90s Teen horror/thriller. You should watch it. Now. Go.
I’m a Pluto.tv virgin, but damn if they don’t have a great lineup of free movies available to watch. I think I’m going to start with Congo. Check out Congo and some of the other new additions in March 2024 below!
About: Part Jurassic Park. Part Indian Jones. Part The Net. Annnnd you’re already gone, off watching Congo (1995). Stop back in when you’re looking for your next movie on Pluto.tv.
About: This movie is stacked: Foster, Whitaker, and Stewart. Thankfully Pluto.tv has the No Leto Cut of this great thriller. Crazy to think this was Fincher‘s movie between Fight Club and Zodiac, both of which seem and are so massive, where this largely takes place in one Brownstone in NYC’s Upper West Side. (Filmed on a Hollywood Studio lot, sadly.)
But for real, I think Gattaca is a bit of a “cult classic”, after not having box office success, but I don’t think it’s had the wide-spread love that it deserves. Watch it if you haven’t seen.
About: Imagine the world was watching you waste your life away reading this stupid shit, instead of like going for a walk, or talking to your kids, or being a contributing member of your community.
Wait, now I’m imagining them watching me WRITE this drivel. oh my god. i’ve wasted my life
About: Awful poster. Now that I think about this film I recall almost all advertising I saw for it being bad. Probably 10 years after it originally came out, I caught it on Netflix, and you know what? It’s pretty good!
About: Mikey likey, Mikey want to watch a 90’s comedy classic that he at one point knew nearly all the words to. Relive your childhood with me, and let’s watch TB tonight.

[Article] Let’s check in with The Colorado River Situation and see how she’s runnin’
“California is on pace for its driest year in recorded history as a decades-long megadrought continues to escalate. Lake Mead, the largest reservoir on the Colorado River and a safety valve for 37 million people across the Southwest, is at its lowest levels since its creation after the Hoover Dam was constructed in 1936. A tree-ring analysis published earlier this year showed that the current drought is the worst in at least 1200 years.”
Currently is a new weather service that you should follow.
[Article] The Continuing Decline of Streaming ‘n’ Creaming(???)
“That’s because, given the continued volatility, HBO Max and Discovery+ can’t afford to just combine everything and be done with it. The “efficiencies” gained by the team-up are a net loss for subscribers, and workers: HBO Max laid off 14 percent of its staff last week, part of the $3 billion in “synergies” promised by the Discovery+ deal.
Already, HBO Max has pulled 36 shows from its service, most of it reality or children’s programming, to make way for Discovery’s similarly situated content. That reduces royalties the app would have to pay to content creators, and is an immediate boost to corporate pocketbooks.“
[Articles] Heat hurt. Heat make me no feel good. Heat bad for brain.
“Studies have found links between rising temperatures and a range of mental health issues including mental fatigue, aggression and even higher rates of suicide. This connection is not just limited to surges in temperature, Dr. Obradovich said, it’s also present for people living in climates where it is consistently hot.
Scientists have yet to uncover why this may be, and whether heat itself can cause brain changes that may lead to these effects. But regardless, experts say, it’s clear that oppressive heat is linked with worse mental health.”
Well thankfully it’s not getting hotter. Now, to take a big sip of coffee and read this article on Grist.
“According to the model, roughly 8 million Americans currently live in parts of the country that experience heat index temperatures above 125 degrees F at least one day a year, a threshold the National Weather Service considers “Extreme Danger.” The group’s peer-reviewed model projects that that figure will increase 13-fold to about 107 million [Americans] in 30 years. The increases in temperature are expected to be concentrated in the middle of the country, in a region the nonprofit has named the “Extreme Heat Belt” — an area running from Texas and Louisiana up to Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa.”
[Article] The Third Way? More like Turd Way. A great debunking of Andrew Yang and his new “party”
“There is a genuine and widespread frustration also being exploited here. It’s objectively true that America’s two-party system is broken and stifles democracy. It’s also objectively true that both parties are captured by wealthy elites that largely agree on many key issues, namely “foreign policy” with, I would argue, significant differences on issues of social welfare, tax policy, bodily autonomy, and a host of important life-and-death matters. The two parties are not “the same” in every way, but on many key issues a large cohort of voters correctly assess that they are. Polls show that Americans are increasingly cynical about “the system,” increasingly dislike the media, and distrust many U.S. institutions. There is no doubt a skepticism about the “elite” and our political systems. Where Yang’s schtick breaks down is that his “party” is being funded by these very same corrupting forces.”
August in Lower USA is gonna end with quite high temperatures: the East Coast will have warm weather until the end of the month, while intense heat will persist into September in the West with chances of monthly heat records specially in Utah,Idaho,Montana and Canadian Alberta. pic.twitter.com/00dIu05FJk

[Video] Do not listen to this Youtube Beta Dweeb. And go clean your room!!
Yes it’s 3 hours long. Yes, it’s arguably too cheeky, especially at 3 hours. But here are a couple of choice clips to better understand who Jordan Peterson is and how little he knows about climate and why he should shut the fuck about it (and everything else).
The short answer is: probably not. In October 2021 there was the leak from Twitch (owned by Amazon), which showed payouts to the streamers. From the leaks we found out only a *very* small percent of the streamers are making large sums of money, or even a livable wage.
[…] 25 percent of the top 10,000 highest paid Twitch streamers don’t make minimum wage — and based on the fact that payout data covers a range of time spanning some point in 2019 to the last handful of months in 2021, 25 percent might actually underestimate the actual figure. For example, if you take what the 8,000th streamer on the list has made since 2019 — $29,396 — and divide it by two, you get $14,698, which is below the annual minimum wage of $15,080. Even that might be a charitable estimate: The numbers likely cover a bit more than two years’ worth of time.
