Two stories today about UAE selling off two huge NYC real estate investments

One story is about Abu Dhabi government fund & Tishman Speyer putting the Chrysler Building on the market - Abu Dhabi Investment Council had paid $800 million for a 90% stake

And a majority stake in 330 Madison Ave owned by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is heading to the sales market at pricing expected to reach nearly $1 billion

I don't know that these two sales have any significance, but the size of the deals seems notable and worth keeping an eye on.

Effort to ease Russian sanctions on Oleg Deripaska's companies Rusal, EN+ Group JSC EuroSibEnergo was boosted by ex-LA senator David Vitter - his firm Mercury LLC was hired by British national, Lord Barker of Battle, chairman of EN+, by @mkraju @jeremyherb cnn.com/2019/01/16/pol…
David Vitter has links to American Ethane which was touted by Trump at a Chinese trade event - co didn't disclose it was 90% owned by Russians (close to Putin & Maria Butina) - their lobbying firm Bold Strategies' was headed by Vitter's ex chief of staff
In 2014 David Vitter attended a key meeting with John Houghtaling and Russian billionaires Roman Abramovich and Alexander Abramov who all founded American Ethane in 2014 (although there's no indication Vitter had any business role with American Ethane)

Almost all of the Road Runner cartoons are available via the @BoomerangToons app.

I subscribed for $5 & decided I'm gonna watch & tweet about 'em all in chronological order, even the later, terrible ones, for which I have an irrational affection.

Here we go.
#BeepBeep
#MeepMeep
Boomerang lists them alphabetically not chronologically so Chuck Jones masterpieces sit side-by-side with 1960s atrocities (& later 'revival' attempts.)

I am going to start at the beginning. I will also be including Wile E. Coyote/Bugs Bunny & Ralph Wolf/Sam Sheepdog shorts, FYI
September 17, 1949: "Fast And Furry-ous"

Chuck Jones intended this short to be a parody of cat & mouse "chase" cartoons. Instead, he accidentally created the definitive chase cartoon series of all time.

The old plane tracking thread is totally broken. Older flights are still there but come up as a single tweet so if you want to find older flights go to Twitter search and type the person's name or tail number (if known).

(THREAD) THE “PEE-TAPE” EXISTS.

Here’s why we can be sure that it does.

(Whether anyone outside the Kremlin will ever see it is another question entirely.)
“One of the questions [Steve] Colbert asked his Russian handler, who was ex-KGB back when it was the KGB, was would a tape have been made? It is considered standard practice, he was informed…” tinyurl.com/yc4nyota
1/ To see that the Steele dossier’s narrative of Trump-Russia collusion is undoubtedly correct, all we have to do is understand what, on a close reading, memos #080 and #095 actually tell us. tinyurl.com/znm89bc
