Infield errors by the Astros in Houston are always entertaining to me.
Tony Sipp of the Houston Astros reacts to an error in the 2015 ALDS. He is wearing a white home uniform and has a shocked look on his face.

John Waters sits in a red leather chair on a carpet in front of a bookcase with stacks of books around him. The caption over him reads "We need to make books cool again. If you go home with someone and they dont have books, don't fuck them."

Disappointed as these are smaller than I expected I guess, but on the bright side they're awful so there we go.

Donald Trump visits Jim Halpert and David Wallace in Scranton.
TV still - an office conference room where two men sit across from each other at a conference table. A younger man wears a grey suit. The older man wears a dark suit. There's also a cart at the back of the room covered by a red and white checkered tablecloth. There is some food on top of the cart. Barely visible through a flap of the tablecloth is another person looking out and trying to eavesdrop. This is a scene from the Office.

Latest d&d craft project - palisade walls. Pretty happy with how they turned out. #dnd
Craft walls made of pointed wooden sticks to look like palisade walls with a rocky dirt ground in front. Behind the walls are a few archers peeking over lowered sections.

The craft project depicts a wall that's been set up behind pointed wooden sticks. The wall is part rock and part wooden platform with a ladder leading from the ground to the top. On the back side here some melee fighters are climbing the ladders to approach the archers lining the wall. The ground is a mix of grassy patches and exposed dirt with the occasional tuft of weeds.

Describe your favorite movie in the most boring way possible Marty talks to other high schoolers for a week.
Back to the Future movie poster featuring Michael j Fox as Marty Mcfly. He's standing in jeans and a life vest and looking at his watch while delorean car has its door opened like a wing overhead. There are flames in front of Marty as well, and they are spaced the same as the tires on the car. The title of the movie is on the top left corner and film credits in the bottom right corner.

Watching a random game from 1980 and Kurt fucking Bevacua is reading the lineup. "If you're wondering why I'm off today, it's because we're trying to win."

Looks like his baby pictures were featured on the front of Weekly World News in the checkout line
doctored image of a boy to look like a bat with sharpened teeth, elongated mouth and ears. The ears are pointy and the boy is also bald. This featured heavily in tabloids back in the day as Bat Boy.

This is during. There's a wall of force, a few stunned people, and the accuser/baddie is in a resilient sphere AND force cage. It's a mess. But it was fun. And only like halfway done. #dndengel

Talked with Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today...
Black and white shot from The Twilight Zone episode "Long Distance Call" - a young boy is smiling while holding a phone up to his ear. His mother is in the background looking on in concern, since in the episode he says he's talking to his dead grandmother.
