https://www.orlandoweekly.com/arts/today-is-the-anniversary-of-nixons-i-am-… On Nov. 17, 1973, President Richard Nixon was knee-deep in the Watergate controversy when he arrived at Disney's Contemporary Resort to give his now infamous "I am not a crook" speech. In an attempt to quell the outrage surrounding his presidency's involvement with the scandal, Nixon spoke before the Associated Press Managing Editors annual conference, and it was actually during a Q&A portion of the speech where he blurted out the words that would ultimately define his legacy. ---- In other news, it would have been somewhat hilarious, if Orlando was sending a signal to the Universe on our SEC pension wistle blowing: https://news.bloomberglaw.com/securities-law/musks-twitter-buyout-challenge… Elon Musk’s $44 billion buyout of Twitter Inc. was challenged in a lawsuit by a Florida pension fund that argues the deal can’t close before 2025 because Musk was an “interested shareholder” in the social-networking platform. The Orlando Police Pension Fund filed suit in Delaware Chancery Court on Thursday. According to the complaint, Musk had agreements with other major Twitter shareholders -- including founder Jack Dorsey -- to rely on their holdings when offering to take the company private last month. Those arrangements triggered a Delaware law that calls for a three-year delay in closing such deals, the fund ...

Driver charged more than 1 year after carriage horse Ryder’s collapse in Manhattan
by Gunnar Larson 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

More than a year after a New York City carriage horse named Ryder collapsed in Midtown, his driver Ian McKeever was arrested on animal abuse charges, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said. McKeever was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on Wednesday and charged in a misdemeanor complaint with one count of overdriving, torturing and injuring animals, and failure to provide proper sustenance, according to the DA’s office. He pleaded not guilty, according to court records. McKeever's attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The complaint details Ryder’s last day as a carriage horse on Aug. 10, 2022, when he started work with McKeever at 9:30 a.m. Throughout the day, he was seen looking “very frail and thin,” and walking slowly while panting with his tongue hanging out of his mouth, according to the complaint. “As alleged, Ryder should not have been working on this hot summer day,” Bragg said in a statement. At around 5:10 p.m., Ryder collapsed in the middle of West 45th Street near Ninth Avenue, authorities said. According to the complaint, McKeever repeatedly tried forcing the horse to stand up by pulling on his reins, yelling and using his whip. He also didn’t provide the horse any water, and left him with his harness on until a member of the NYPD eventually took it off, the complaint details. The police officer was also the one who put ice and cold water on Ryder until he was able to get back up, according to the complaint. After the horse's collapse, Pete Donohue, a spokesperson for Transport Workers Union Local 100 – the group that represents horse carriage drivers – told Gothamist the horse was suffering from equine protozoal myeloencephalitis, a neurological disease horses can contract from eating infected opossum droppings, and not heat exhaustion. After the incident, Ryder was retired to a farm outside of the city. The city’s health department then accused the horse carriage’s owners of falsifying his age in veterinary records, from 26 to 13 years old. According to the criminal complaint, on top of old age, he suffered from a variety of significant health issues. “Despite his condition, he was out for hours and worked to the point of collapse,” Bragg said in a statement. “All animals deserve to be treated with the utmost care and the type of abuse that Ryder allegedly suffered is unacceptable.” Ryder was euthanized due to his poor medical condition in October of last year. Ryder’s collapse made headlines and renewed calls from animal rights advocates to ban horse carriages in the city. On Wednesday, Edita Birnkrant, executive director of New Yorkers for Clean, Livable and Safe Streets – or NYCLASS – said she was grateful to see animal rights taken seriously, but one arrest, she added, doesn’t undo what she describes as an industrywide problem with abuse. “Animal cruelty is not taken seriously. It is not a top priority, so it's rare that these kind of charges are filed in any abuse case,” Birnkrant said. “We want there to be some kind of accountability and justice, but it's not enough because this doesn't begin and end with Ryder. There are so many horses out there right now suffering.” https://gothamist.com/news/driver-charged-more-than-1-year-after-carriage-h…

Gunnar Donald Arthur Peter Larson ---- Peter Thiel Is Still Hoping That Donald Trump Just Fades Away https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-16/peter-thiel-is-still-hop… At the end of 2016, Donald Trump and the venture capitalist Peter Thiel sat down to a meeting with a group of the most powerful figures in the tech industry. With Apple (AAPL)’s Tim Cook, Tesla (TSLA)’s Elon Musk, Google (GOOGL)’s Larry Page and Amazon.com (AMZN)’s Jeff Bezos looking on, the president-elect thanked Thiel for his early support. Trump then attempted a sort of handshake. Grabbing Thiel’s hand and lightly patting it, he raised it above the table in a gesture that seemed somewhere between tenderness and triumph.
