You cannot be serious.

I tried unsuccessfully to watch his special. I mean, I think he is one of the most talented human beings to have ever graced the earth, and I don't have any reason to expect the stroke took that away from him. But it was way too sentimental and schmaltz, I had to stop.

@LuFins-Dad said in If Horace was at this Christmas Party, we would probably be watching True Crime videos about the massacre…: 70% of which are 30-50 year old liberal childless cat ladies that are AGHAST at the current situation. Well, at least there is a bright side for them. Four years of Trump means a few more years of job security...

Wow. My screen got a little blurry there.

I wonder how much the Biden administration paid to move the quarter of a million "migrants" out of South America and drop them off in upstate New York in the middle of the night.

""Ben Affleck: “AI can’t make film that is considered art.”" Neither can he.

Statements of pure, objective fact are not "insults". They are simple facts. If anybody doesn't understand the facts in that picture, then maybe that person is a morally corrupt Republican. Anybody like that, is not welcome at my holiday table. Period.

I thought The Penguin was wonderful. I thought Arcane was pretty good.

McFarren was originally nominated by Obama. After her 4 years were up she was renominated by Trump.

@Doctor-Phibes said in The Vinyl Revival - So wrong on so many levels: @jon-nyc said in The Vinyl Revival - So wrong on so many levels: It ain’t just nostalgia. The boy got a tube amp (Vox) a few months back and asked for a turntable for Christmas. : Humbly speaking as somebody who used to play in a band equipped with what would now be quite valuable vintage Vox AC 30's, I'd say it is a little hard to justify. The modern gear nowadays does stuff we could only dream of, and it doesn't break down all the time. Ayup. $2500 in gear that you probably have already bought for other reasons will outperform $200K of gear in 1990.

I’m still a little disappointed that nobody appreciated my blowback joke…

Nice. Two days a week full time TNCR posting.

Good for the hotels in Santa Monica, Pasadena, Burbank, etc..

@Horace said in Whither the GOP post Trump 2020 election loss: @jon-nyc said in Whither the GOP post Trump 2020 election loss: If someone tried to forcefully take over your property and the state forced a settlement on you that ceded 25% of it to the aggressor, would you consider that a loss? I refer you to the second half of my one-sentence post. "as compared to <whatever the hell anybody expected if Kamala had won>." What hypothetical outcome, in a Harris regime, are you comparing Trump's "handing Putin a W" to? She would not hand him a W? If your point is ‘Putin might still be successful even with us helping Ukraine rather than coercing their surrender’ that’s true as far as it goes, but that’s very different than the US formally recognizing the land grab and lifting sanctions and encouraging Europe to do the same.

Maybe fifty years ago. And I don’t have anything to add to that.

@Horace said in Hey Aqua: @89th said in Hey Aqua: @jon-nyc said in Hey Aqua: And I successfully evaded the cop. It’s one of my 3-0 success stories in losing cops. I briefly thought about beginning a life of crime at that point. Not to nit pick, but you would have been continuing a life of crime at that point. Similarly, you are currently taking a break from your life of crime. Considering the total statutes, laws, ordinances and HOA regulations currently on the books, I think it would be fair to say that we are all in some way, knowingly or not, continuing a life of crime. And Horace, contrary to what you may hear out there on the streets, there is no such thing as a victimless crime.

I love being the center of attention
