  • Lots of people in this thread are asking why this would pertain to the case since it was only official acts that were covered in the Supreme Court ruling.

    Although the Manhattan case does not center on Mr. Trump’s presidency or official acts — but rather personal activity during his campaign — his lawyers argued on Monday that prosecutors had built their case partly on evidence from his time in the White House. And under the Supreme Court’s new ruling, prosecutors not only cannot charge a president for any official acts, but also cannot cite evidence involving official acts to bolster other accusations.


  • “Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” (2023). Included in Amazon Prime, available to rent almost anywhere.

    A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people.

    This movie sadly bombed at the box office, but is in my opinion a near-perfect fantasy adventure flick that strikes a really good balance of narrative and comedy, and respects the source material without making it a prerequisite for enjoyment. I’d put it up there with “The Princess Bride” and I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets a similar cult appreciation in the future.
