Burger King Nightmare King (2018-2018): A 1/4 pound beef patty, crispy chicken fillet, American cheese, bacon, onions and mayo, served on a dyed-green bun. Released special for Halloween, BK claimed that it was developed with a sleep institute, designed to induce nightmares if eaten before bed
A black background, and a black plastic tray on which rests a sandwich with fried chicken, a beef patty, bacon, onions, and cheese, on a dark green sesame bun. A creepy, bony, black-grey hand with long nails reaches into frame to grab it. The copy read "Nightmare King--Feed Your nightmares"

Spooky Spectacular Count Chocula (2000-2000): A limited-edition Count Chocula variant that featured marshmallows shaped like bats, "books of magic", moons, and bubbling cauldrons. The real kicker was the "spooky" lenticular cut-out mask on each box. Frankenberry and Boo-Berry versions were also made
A cereal box with the Count Chocula logo and an extreme closeup of the Count's face, which features him wearing a purplish lenticular mask over his eyes, complete with a weary-looking bat sitting on the bridge of his nose. A bowl of cereal and a lineup of new marshmallows is at the bottom

John Roberts has spent his entire career trying to kill the Voting Rights Act. Now his Republican-appointed majority is dusting off arguments once used to destroy Reconstruction to roll back the gains made during the civil rights era.

Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.
The disaster the justices have unleashed has its roots in one of the darkest periods of our past.

ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport. She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury. It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players. They have failed.
Aminata Seck, 26, a student-athlete at Kentucky State University, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport while traveling with her school's basketball team Aug. 7, said Sadiqa Reynolds, a lawyer helping coordinate Seck's case.

Seck's team was headed to New York for a tournament, and she was taken into custody after going through airport security, said Reynolds, former president and CEO of the Louisville Urban League.

Has the Walgreens in your area deteriorated too? Less staffing. Prescription delays? They got bought by private equity last year. Private equity has ruined or local veterinary hospital too. I suspect that's likely why the quality of the food at several food chains has tanked too.
