#Prosecutors unveil 'doozy' #evidence at #Trump #fraud trial: 'Money flowing from one pocket to the other' - Raw Story

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-civil-fraud-trial/

> Prosecutors on Friday unveiled a piece of evidence in former President Donald Trump's civil fraud case The Daily Beast reporter Jose Pagliery described as "a doozy."Included among the many examples of allegedly fraudulent accounting practices by the Trump Organization, argued prosecutor Andrew Amer,...

#LockHimUp

"Investigators found that Trump duped insurance companies by lying about his stash of cash," the publication writes. "They claimed that the Trumps inflated the value of Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan by an estimated $178 million by incorrectly declaring funds as 'stabilized income' when it wasn’t."
“There was rampant fraud in preparation of Trump’s personal financial statements,” Amer argued to the court. “The defendants used those fraudulent statements repeatedly and persistently with banks and insurance companies in transactions seeking financial benefits.”

⏳Artist: #TimothyGoodman in City: #NewYorkCity NY USA 🇺🇸 2023 - Title: "My generation" (Meine Generation) - #Streetart #Art #Mural #Mastoart #Artwork #AllenGinsberg

Streetartwall. On a black advertising space a mural with a lettering written in white has been painted. In white capital letters it reads "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by Social Media."
Info: The mural existed only 24 hours. Out of respect for the American writer Allan Ginsberg, the artist was persuaded to paint over it. Ironically, as a result of a photo of his mural in the social media.
Original-Quote from Allen Ginsberg:
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of the night.

The #NewYorkCity Department of Education's ability to deliver even extremely good news in the most insane way possible is going to be the death of me, I swear.

(My child just cleared the waitlist and got offered a slot at our #1 choice for a high school... four days after the school year started. This is no way to run a railroad in my opinion, but I'll take it.)

Once again disappointed in #EricAdams as he tries to claim that immigration "will destroy #NewYorkCity". Seriously?

We had *massive* immigration back when Ellis Island was processing floods of new people (including some of my immigrant ancestors!). It helped us turn NYC from a middling, up-and-coming town to "the Greatest City in the World". Adams needs STFU and take #immigration out of his goddamn mouth.

Roaming is the story of three young #Canadian women meeting up for a getaway to #NewYorkCity. Zoe and Dani are high-school best friends who haven't seen each other since they graduated and decamped for universities in different cities. Fiona is Dani's art-school classmate, a glamorous and cantankerous artist with an affected air of sophistication.

"When neo-Nazis are praising your #immigration record, you may have gotten it really, really wrong." -- Mehdi Hassan on #NewYorkCity's awful mayor, #EricAdams.

Having come from #SanFrancisco (where people famously leave their hearts, as the classic song commemorates) here to #NewYorkCity specifically because of love (to be with my sweetie, who I met online), this just feels amazingly appropriate.

Streetartwall. A beautiful mural of seven black women was painted on the street wall of a hotel in a pop art style with African influences. The seven stylized, slender figures are each in a color of the rainbow flag - meant to represent the entire spectrum of the LGBTQIA+ community. Two each, right and left, are shown off to the side. Two are looking at us, around another frontally in the center. A standpipe in the middle of the wall was cleverly integrated.

Comic Drawing. A simply drawn, furry comic figure that looks like a man in a monkey costume (only without ears and hands), stands in front of a sculpture made of two halves of a heart stacked on top of each other. The text around him is the saying, "Take your broken heart and turn it into art."
Info:
That phrase, in truth, was a piece of advice that Carrie Fisher had given Meryl Streep some time ago.

Why have over 13,000 rent-stabilized apartments in #NewYorkCity been sitting vacant for multiple years?

Streetartwall. A pasteup of a woman in pop art style is pasted on a gray wall in New York. The background is a red sky with faint birds and a yellow steppe landscape. On it is a portrait of a woman in a long blue coat, a red turtleneck sweater and a black skirt with boots. Her head is that of a white manikin or robot. She stands casually in the heat and has a sad look.

Hey Mastodoners (is that a thing?) I just found out that my book Naming Gotham won an award for history excellence!! It's not public yet so I can't share the details, but wow!

One of the weirdest things about having moved to #NewYorkCity is that the wind, and the clouds, can blow in basically any direction. Sure, it's most usual for them to come from over Jersey, heading eastward. But right now they're going northwesterly, and that's not that unusual.

In #SanFrancisco, I can't recall *ever* seeing the wind not coming off the Pacific, usually with @karlthefog dashing toward Oakland.

I know I was complaining about noise a bunch last week. Things could be so much worse, though. I was just cranky. I'm fairly sure I don't actually have #hyperacusis — and my heart goes out to those who do. All my sympathy. Trying to live in #NewYorkCity with hyperacusis sounds difficult, and I salute those who do. (Though, as the article says, there are noises even in rural places.) https://www.curbed.com/2023/08/hyperacusis-noise-living-new-york-city.html

🎨 Will Eisner

“Subway: Night Riders” from New York: The Big City (1986)

#SilentSunday #WillEisner #NewYork #Subway #NewYorkCity #NYC #KitchenSinkPress #ComicBooks #Comics @comics @comicstodon

An empty nighttime NYC subway train except for a conservatively dressed businessman in a suit and hat sitting with a briefcase in his lap shuffling papers with an umbrella at his side. Suddenly from an adjoining subway car a drunken, boisterous fellow bursts through the door and lurches towards the businessman then begins to serenade him with a tune.
Holding onto the train pole the drunk concludes his song then begins to run out of steam, leaning on and sliding down the pole. He then moves directly in front of the businessman, and holds onto an overhead hand grip while peering at the businessman intently. He then sits down next to the businessman and tells him a story, alternately looking cheerful, in a rage, and weeping uncontrollably. All through the drunk’s overwrought display the businessman sat there stoic and emotionless. Finally exhausted, the drunk leaned against the businessman and passed out.

OTD (in irony) in 1994, Mayor Rudy #Giuliani tried to convince GOP leaders to hold their 1996 convention in #NewYorkCity to minimize the role of the party's radical right wing, saying "it would diminish that influence in the party, and that would be very, very good for the way the #Republican convention would be presented nationally."

A Giuliani associate running for Senate, Republican Charles Millard, asserted the #GOP is "gaining a reputation as a home for #rightwing radicals..."
