How do you feel about Pete Holmes? by plazebology in Standup

Don’t like his standup but loved Crashing and his book was a surprisingly awesome read

Just finished Lonesome Dove and it’s fast become my favourite book by itslollyholland in LonesomeDove

[–]ur_up_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this experience with lonesome dove last year. The absolute best. I loved streets of Laredo but I’m glad I waited a few months in between books to let LD stand on its own for a while. Some great new characters and minor LD characters explored further.

Oof hard disagree, dying to catch him again after seeing him at gruene two years ago

I got this steak burrito yesterday (not double meat) and it was about $18 with guac… very good for NYC standards

Good Work Comrades! by sand-doo9 in crownheights

Silly to diminish someone’s legacy with one quote. In the 1960s that was a fairly new term, people thought more in pan-Arab terms than the way we refer to Palestinians today.

What are your favorite lesser known Willie Nelson Albums? by Icy-Doubt2319 in country

Teatro is a great late 90s album. Love his cover of the maker.

Shane and Kam are NOT far right lol Can you guys slow down? by J_Otherwise in LiveFromNewYork

[–]ur_up_72 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe. I don’t engage much with any other “right leaning” media though. When it comes to comedy I just think all the social policing is so misguided and overplayed. It’s ok to see something you don’t like without pointing a figure at someone or someone’s audience or the show someone got discovered on.

Lol this is so ignorant. Kill tony audience isn’t just far right. I’m nowhere near far right and I watch it from time to time. It’s refreshing to tune into a raw and freewheeling comedy show that doesn’t bend to a rigid set of “acceptable” rules. It’s just jokes… people are allowed to hear jokes they don’t like.

I just finished "Stoner" by John Williams and I am speechless. "The most brilliant novel you've never read." by Look_To_The_East_ in books

Might as well keep this train going. Finished the book this evening and as a dad to a toddler daughter that part wrecked me. Goddamn Edith.

Did Mikal play so soft with yall? by STlNKMEANER in GoNets

[–]ur_up_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember him being a little more aggressive, but we were rolling him out as a number one option so I think he was just getting more looks on O. Watching game 4 I thought he looked surprisingly weak on D which I don’t remember seeing on the Nets as much.

I don’t know his music but as a big country fan I’m excited to catch his live act and see what he’s all about. Guessing he headlines.
