And here I am this morning sipping on coffee watching Tubi. I’ve been done paying more for less for a while now.
Don’t need to pirate. If this gradual enshittification has done anything to me, it’s been to make me lose any and all interest in keeping up with the latest shows. It’s turned my TV into mere background noise while I do other things.
Maybe Tubi and Pluto and Freevee will eventually go away. Maybe then I’ll just stop staring at a screen altogether.
I read a six hundred page physical paper book last weekend, cover to cover. I’d completely forgotten how pleasurable that is, and I can buy paperbacks by the pallet for next to nothing these days or attempt to borrow from the library before they become completely illegal.
I also remembered that it’s entirely ok to read a book that isn’t some centuries old work of ethereal literature. Run of the mill pulp fiction can be mighty entertaining even if you don’t get to brag that you read the unabridged version of Beowulf in the original language at your next craft cocktail party
