Which musician would've put out the best music if they hadn't passed?
Okay, fair enough.

She had such a distinctive tone and voice. Just sad that she passed so young.

Gil I have kind of learned over the years that sometimes you make irrationally harsh statements when YOU don’t like something. These are musicians I would liked to have seen and heard more from. I may not like everything you do musically, but I sure as heck won’t respond like that.

Baylor is toast unless they win the conference tournament. BYU is the better team, but still a fraud overall. They really need this one with the schedule they have ahead.

Ritchie Valens, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain.

Good on you for spending time with your better half’s family. That is definitely a big deal and quite a way to ingratiate yourself with her family. I always felt safe walking around my neighborhood, day or night. It did not mean there were not issues, but I felt good there. I enjoy observing people and most of the time when I’d go to the park I would just sit and listen and watch folks. You could grasp pretty easily the importance of family and belonging. The Puerto Rican Day parade was a blast too. Bad Bunny’s performance, from what I have read, seems to line up exactly with my own experiences with Puerto Ricans. One woman I worked with always was sad when she returned from PR. Her uncle worked with us too and one day he just up and left and went home after spending most of his adult life in NYC. As far as I know he is still back home enjoying life with his people and that’s pretty cool.

My last four and a half years in NYC were spent living in East Harlem. The dominoes tables they make and sell there are incredible. I try to live around as few white people as possible so East Harlem was perfect for that. I loved East Harlem. Over at the park on 116th across the street from Rao’s was where you’d go if you wanted to hear good music. The amount of graduation and birthday parties that place has is ridiculous. All summer long it was a party. Being around so many Puerto Ricans was fun and I am thankful for the time I spent there. I remember one woman in my building spoke no English and I spoke no Spanish, but she always would smile and greet me and if I was carrying anything she always offered to help. Plain and simple kindness that I never saw living in the white enclave where I was in Astoria before that.

Gotta make sure this guy has a spot reserved for the grave pissing tour. Maybe just load @Brisketexan up with some allsups burritos for good measure when the time comes.

Please don’t give that poster any air by quoting them. The negativity and vitriol they have for everyone here is not cool. It doesn’t matter what you say to them. Please just put them on ignore.

Good on KU getting a really nice win. The top 5 in the conference are all really good to elite. After that it’s a precipitous drop-off. One of those five will make the last weekend. I would guess Houston, but you never know who gets a lucky bounce or whatnot at the right moment.

What are you listening to right now?
Rreading about various genocides for the last five weeks has been very draining. Important, but draining. I like upbeat music with a good rhythm. Can be totally random kinds of music, but this is a favorite.

Mitch McConnell
I feel like he’s near the top of the list of the grave-pissing tour.

Was just randomly listening to that the other day.

You’re one of my favorite posters on this site and not just because you took me to one of the coolest places on O’ahu for a hike! The coffee shop was cool too and I keep telling people about it as well. Anyhow I just don’t care what someone is or isn’t. Two of my good friends from New York were here recently on vacation. I had not seen them in 4-5 years. The one I knew best was the first friend I made in NYC as he came up to talk to me at work back in 2017 and immediately we were friends. He’s from Venezuela, but is also partially Nigerian. His husband is really cool too and is a dead ringer for Boris Becker from 20 years ago. I could not care any less that they are gay. I’m glad they are honestly because gay people, in my experiences experience, are just nicer overall. They’re awesome people that I’d do anything for and told them that if the time comes where they have to leave their home up in the Hudson Valley that they’re welcome to stay with me wherever I am in the world. The other day a guy I work with, who is fairly normal and pretty typically Hawaiian and whatnot says again that he wants to start going to church. I told him this. If you’re looking to get things or are hoping your life circumstances magically change then don’t go to church. Go because YOU want to go and not because someone said you should. I have never, ever attempted to make anyone believe in Jesus. I believe that were Jesus here in the flesh he’d show compassion and respect for anyone’s beliefs and that he would not walk around condemning and demeaning people. That, to me, is a central tenet of the message of Christianity. Not this maga garbage christo-fascism. My mother has gone to I think one church service with me (To the Baptist church in The Bronx where I sang in the choir.) and yet she is the kindest human being I know. She doesn’t need anything guiding her other than she treats everyone with respect. She has no particular religious beliefs and yet she will show kindness to anyone.- Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
Can the c-word be deployed with her? If not is there something better? What a hateful person she is.- Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
I cannot recall ever watching a single halftime show whether I liked the musician or not. I cannot tell you a single song this man does, but I did like him in Bullet Train. Some really good acting done there. I do hope Bad Bunny does something that infuriates TFG to stroke out. That would be fitting.- Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
TFG has continued to ruin sports. I am not the biggest consumer of the Winter Olympics as I have watched no events nor followed who is doing what. However, I have seen his comments trying to discredit any American athletes that speak out against him. The goal of doing that is to get them bombarded with threats against them and I saw that one of the athletes won’t be using social media much anymore due to what has been said to them. I hope that Italy treats people like our hillbilly VP and Jake Paul like the trash that they are at every opportunity while realizing the vast majority of our athletes do not condone the fascist regime we now have. I feel bad for folks who train for years for this chance to represent the US only to have to deal with absolute garbage leadership treating you as a lesser than for speaking out.- Epic movies or shows you haven't gotten around to watching
The godfather movies were before my time and honestly I have never found anything mafia-related to be interesting. Plenty of people find them to be fun and that’s fine. Just no real interest in that kind of stuff.- NCAA Hoops 2025-26
BYU is quickly staring at a first four appearance if they don’t get some wins quickly. They should be out of the rankings now as they have yet to beat a single good opponent. I am sure Sampson is really enjoying this victory more than most.- Trump’s America
I met a couple from DFW today that probably bought that if they went in there.- NCAA Hoops 2025-26
I attended one big East tournament game because I knew I wouldn’t see these two coaching for the long-term. It was Mullin vs Ewing in the 8-9 game in the Big East. The basketball wasn’t great, but seeing those two in The Garden coaching was worth being there.- NCAA Hoops 2025-26
The Johnnies being good is always good for the college game. I went over to their school almost ten years ago or so and walked around to see the gym and all the memorabilia they have. Quite a cool place to walk around while knowing who played there.- Trump’s America
Well TFG is a narcissist and a racist. Anything that demeans the Obamas is okay. That they’re trying to say it wasn’t him that reposted it is really on-brand. He posted it and he’s too much of a coward to say it was him. Do not believe a single word these fascist idiots say otherwise on this.- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
I feel like your objectivity is a good thing. We, that being the males in society, almost never just accept a woman for their intelligence level and charisma. It is always attached to how they look. I have heard her speak in person back in NYC and she’s a fantastic orator for a person that isn’t very big. I find her congressional committee questions to be very funny in how she sets up the person she is about to eviscerate. She does it all with a smile, is polite and then BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE. Never fails to entertain me. - Do We Have a Christ Followers Thread?
