What folks should be excited for on October 9th is that's when episode 2 of Knights of Guinevere drops!

Well I already hate musk and basically nothing could change my mind about him at this point - so I wasn't planning to see this. But now I feel I must, since it's apparently so subversive you can't even advertise it.

Streisand effect incoming...
Blocking political ad content... during the time in which I am being deluged with ridiculously biased political ads.
That is legitimately hilarious reasoning. The tears are of laughter.

Just a reminder that YouTube played Trump ads non stop in 2024. Non fucking stop.
lol when they did this to stop misinformation during Covid etc they got railed over by the MAGA lot about infringing on rights and becoming a dictatorship etc
Even though they’re companies with a right to do anything they want with their own platform. Even if it is a corrupt action to appease a crybaby billionaire.
Yet where are they now
Irony, it has layers
replies:
They're all run by literal fascists, and it's about a fascist. Not sure why anyone is surprised, and what they actually expected?
Now tell me where can I watch it.
replies:
Someone should sue them for a collective boycott. I heard some fat dunce did that once.
It's four hours and showing in theaters? We have got to convince theater operators to bring back intermissions.
replies:
Banned in Boston.
I would venture to say where there’s a will there’s a way. The people that want to see it will find it.

streisand effect
From the title, I thought the documentary wouldn't be interrupted with ads in a rare focused attack on Musk by TikTok, Meta, and Google.
But then when the realization came, I wasn't surprised, just disappointed.
good way to tamp down interest in it /s
I guess it's going to be on Netflix?

Because they're cowards.
ah yes, a technique well known for its efficacy
replies:
I am glad you can easily get ads for gambling, scams and much worse and no one cares, so much that barely any other ads are hosted. Try paying for an ad that makes an oligarch look bad, ... njet. Violates Rule 1.
Bleecker Street were behind Beirut and Golda so while I’m definitely going to watch this via high seas and while I’ve enjoyed a fair few of Gibney’s works this arrangement sketches me out frankly
