Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Eeek! Conflicting answers. I was thinking "is" but it's sounding strange to me.

"none of which is more deserving" or "none of which are more deserving"?
Okay, from googling, it appears the internet disagrees about whether none is singular or plural. What's the full context of the sentence?

I want to commend [your company] for making these kinds of capacity building grants available to deserving organizations, none of which is more deserving than [my company].

I'm changing my answer to "is". And "which" is the subject, not "none".

Okay, so the "none" is referring to a singular object, "my company". So I still vote singular.
The common example I'm finding is: "None of the cake was left" vs. "None of the cookies were left."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
see that's why I'm thinking plural, because none refers back to organizations.

Nope. "none of which is more deserving" refers to your company, not to all of the organizations.
