@ori_goldberg 1/ The IDF and Shin Bet have released Shifa hospital director Mohammad Abu Salmiya after months of detention back to the Gaza strip. Israel’s government is in an uproar. This state of affairs demonstrates the depths of Israel’s unhinged mendacity. —> ~ Fiction Issue ~ @NYerFiction “New fiction by Sally Rooney, in The New Yorker’s annual Fiction Issue.” Back in the corner newstand days, the AFI was a lot of fun.. I miss dead tree magazines, and decided to go out and get a copy. Barnes & Noble was still open on Perimeter Center W. I had not been in a bookstore in a long time. They still smell the same. The price was going to be ridiculous, but it was time for a foolish extravaagence. The periodicals were against the western wall. I looked carefully in every section, but did not see TNY. A second examination of the magazine shelf yielded the same result. A lady said that some magazines were in a rack by the front. In the second rack we perused, TNY was for sale. The cost was $8.99, before tax. It was not the summer fiction issue. Pictures today are from The Library of Congress ~ @mtracey Presidents enjoyed functional immunity from criminal prosecution for “official acts” between 1789 and 2023. Now, the Supreme Court has codified that immunity. This is largely thanks to the Special Counsel purporting to criminalize a massive array of “official” actions undertaken by Trump, such as conferring with Justice Department officials, conferring with the Vice President, and even Tweeting — under a cockamamie and newly concocted theory designed to specifically prosecute Trump. Given the clear excesses of this literal “conspiracy theory” proposed by Jack Smith, the Court has accordingly formalized a wide-ranging immunity for all presidents, even for future “official acts” which might be more narrow and concrete, and related to more straightforwardly “unlawful” conduct. So if the President has now been accorded King-like immunities for his “core Constitutional” acts, as well as far-reaching “presumptive immunity” for his “official” acts, the reason for this new monarchical standard ultimately stems from the heedless crusade of Jack Smith and the DOJ ~ but when you impose meaningful search parameters, the truth emerges: The charges against Trump are obscure, and nearly entirely unprecedented. In fact, no state prosecutor — in New York, or Wyoming, or anywhere — has ever charged federal election laws as a direct or predicate state crime, against anyone, for anything. None. Ever. Even putting aside the specifics of election law, the Manhattan DA itself almost never brings any case in which falsification of business records is the only charge. Standing alone, falsification charges would have been mere misdemeanors under New York law, which posed two problems for the DA. First, nobody cares about a misdemeanor, and it would be laughable to bring the first-ever charge against a former president for a trifling offense that falls within the same technical criminal classification as shoplifting a Snapple and a bag of Cheetos from a bodega. Second, the statute of limitations on a misdemeanor — two years — likely has long expired on Trump’s conduct, which dates to 2016 and 2017. So, to inflate the charges up to the lowest-level felony (Class E, on a scale of Class A through E) — and to electroshock them back to life within the longer felony statute of limitations — the DA alleged that the falsification of business records was committed “with intent to commit another crime.” Here, according to prosecutors, the “another crime” is a New York State election-law violation, which in turn incorporates three separate “unlawful means”: federal campaign crimes, tax crimes, and falsification of still more documents. Inexcusably, the DA refused to specify what those unlawful means actually were — and the judge declined to force them to pony up — until right before closing arguments. So much for the constitutional obligation to provide notice to the defendant of the accusations against him in advance of trial. (This, folks, is what indictments are for.) In these key respects, the charges against Trump aren’t just unusual. They’re bespoke, seemingly crafted individually for the former president and nobody else. ~ @Fritschner “Kennedy told the person, who was traveling to Asia, that he might enjoy a restaurant in Korea that served dog on the menu, suggesting Kennedy had sampled dog. The photo was taken in 2010, according to… metadata—the same year he was diagnosed with a dead tapeworm in his brain.” ~ On July 3, 1981, an article appeared deep inside the New York Times. “RARE CANCER SEEN IN 41 HOMOSEXUALS.” Very few people knew how big that story was going to get. The author, Lawrence K. Altman, is still writing for the NYT. ~ Tyler Mahan Coe (chaotic good) @TylerMahanCoe I know I’m supposed to ignore the trolls but it’s so difficult to do when I know they became the way they are from feeling ignored by their mommies … @chamblee54 If only they hadn’t been drunk the day she got out of prison … the tweet has been deleted. ~ Every night for a thousand years. ~ “I do not need to wash my hands every day!” The words were probably grumbled in many bars, ball games and bathrooms across the country. It is hard to identify a fatal organism when we cannot see it with our eyes. So it is difficult to get the masses to believe that some tiny microorganism can cause a miserable death. ~ “That whole damned war business is about 999 parts diarrhea to one part glory.” Looking for the source of that quote led to the research shown above. … “Intimate with Walt Selections from Whitman’s Conversations with Horace Traubel, 1882-1892.” ~ contestants on the Hollywood Squares would tape five episodes at a time. You would bring a blazer, and five ties. ~ I just listened to this wonderful show, with Jamie Farr talking to Gilbert Gottfried. Towards the end of the show, someone mentioned that Jamie worked with Milton Berle. The story about “just take out enough to win” was mentioned, without any context. Someone said, you must not have worked with Forrest Tucker. ~ “He sounded terrible and then he went to Waffle House and then was fine.” “He was reinvigorated by the Waffle House.””I want to know what he ordered.” ~ Seán Ono Lennon @seanonolennon I really don’t know what people expect from me when they insult my mother. The mind boggles. ~ true stable genius i074 i075 0718i 0718ii ~ zabriskie point ~ I drive by a sign everyday. “Nancy Creek Cemetary” The spell check suggestion is elementary. ~ @QuoteResearch Before you engage in a protracted argument on x-twitter please consider this comment from Cyrus Stuart Ching in 1948: ‘What’s the sense of wrestling with a pig? You both get all over muddy . . . and the pig likes it.’” @chamblee54 When clicking on this link, I found myself in an argument with google ads. Arguing with the algorithm is the modern version of wrestling with a pig. ~ Prompt If I Were a Photograph or Picture this – I confirmed that it was blow up, and not throw up. That moment I captured at Krystal left room for doubt. The lady who took my order asked if I wanted to take an art portrait of her. I thought I would let it slide, since I knew that art was slang for porn, and there was no lens strong enough to make the onion hamburger smell go away. But there was no film in my camera anyway, and you can take that at face value, or think that it is a cliche metaphor. I wanted to be kind to the lady, so I ordered a sack full of Krystalburgers, and prayed that I would be alive when I finished eating them. The happy krystal habit is not what it used to be. If only they had white castles in georgia, but you can’t have everything. I can always settle for the mystery meat at taco bell, my true idea of junk food nirvana. Meanwhile, the rain is coming down here, and I am going to continue to type until the call to action. Maybe I could have considered what I could have done to make a naked krystalburger mama look like something other than the way those hamburgers smell. In the old days, of the Krystal emporium on peachtree industrial boulevard, across from the frito plant, the management would not have tolerated a krystalburger princess asking a poet to take her art portrait, with or without the side of fries. ~ “He sounded terrible and then he went to Waffle House and then was fine.” “He was reinvigorated by the Waffle House.” “I want to know what he ordered.” ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress ~ selah
