A picture of Barack Obama pointing aggressively at the frame with the word "Lost A Full Hour This Morning -- Thanks Obama!!!" written as befits this sarcastic meme.
Via KNOW YOUR MEME:
"Thanks, Obama!" is a sarcastic expression used by critics of President Barack Obama to blame personal troubles and inconveniences on public policies supported or enacted by the administration. The phrase is often used to caption animated GIFs in which the subject appears to be struggling with a rather simple task, satirizing those who scapegoat Obama as the cause of problems for which he has little or no influence.

Finalist @ 13Horror.com. Was pleased because this is my "f' it" Script, where I didn't reign in my literary-style voice at all, went balls-to-wall with my # of characters, included craziest insights into how the universe works, and sprayed blood on every wall. Chuffed w/feedback too #script #horror
Again, this was my "f' it" Script, & it moreover plays in the $100M gardens, so I knew it would never get made from a newbie. I just needed to get it down.
-- But lookit how cool the Feedback wuz from this Fest I didn't win, while I head out to my big-time sandwich delivery!

Screenwriting "poster" visual in tones of orange with an impossibly huge moon bearing down upon sillhouetted spires of a manor house, as a bird flies away.
It reads: All knowing, all powerful Creator, there can be nof greater God." -- But There Is. -- One more sacrifice. and the Universe changes forever.
None Greater Than (with title struck-through).
This poster is overlaid on another poster that seems visuall the same.

The Feedback materials read:
"Reading None Greater Than felt like walking into a fully imagined place and realizing, a few pages in, that it has its own weather, its own gravity and its own rules. From the opening cosmic imagery to the slow reveal of Dickensgate Manor, you establish mood with confidence and patience. And the same applies to your characters: it's seldom I read a screenplay with 15 or 16 speaking parts, but they were each delineated, and provided excitement and function. The early classroom scene with Wangerin works especially well. It isn’t just exposition, it tells us who he is and why people follow him. Later, the “rats” sequence on the lane is genuinely unsettling, and that ending!

I was also impressed by how naturally the philosophy, religion and math elements are folded into the story. The Fibonacci motif and the prayer-wheel logic feel like obsessions growing inside these characters. That gives the horror an emotional engine, not just a visual one. If there’s an allegory here about belief, control, and the danger of trying to impose meaning on chaos, it lands without being preachy. It’s there for readers who want it, and invisible to those who don’t.

You’re a great writer and very visual. Overall, this is ambitious, smart, and often genuinely creepy. "

Early joggers stunned this week when the body of a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic washed up on the rocks of Metro Beach. Robot removed, bt the discovery has inspired a memorial w/visitors leaving Chuck E. Chs plushes, tokens, & a man pouring Pepsi frm a C.E.Chs cup quietly saying “This is for Charles.”
A closed-eye animatronic of Chuck E. Cheese lays amidst rocks and snow, it's chest horribly ripped open. The sea forms a backdrop with pale blue sky, overarching.

He still has a contented smile upon his face, as of course he would.

Cases where police moved out of the way of moving vehicle and exercised deadly force, with more in thread. - Kirby vs. Duva (2008): Officers cannot create or avoid danger and then use deadly force anyway. Shooting after the officer was no longer in danger was unconstitutional.

Claude Rains as The Invisible Man (okay, an excellent action figure, thereof).
I adore any of the linen-wrapped "monsters." The Mummy, The Invisible Man, Rebus/Larry Trainor of The Doom Patrol.

In glorious b&w, Jack Griffin stands with a defiant fist raised, his face swathed in bandages, ascot high, gloves, dark glasses with side-pieces covering his eyes. His black bathrobe has elegant checks at the collar, cuffs, pockets and waist-tie.

And what a performance by Rains.

2/2 His article for Life Magazine abt eating human flesh destroyed his career. Ultimately checked himself into insane asylum & shortly after, committed suicide. "All his books are very good, bt also, chillingly, depict a man moving farther & farther away frm civilization into t heart of darkness."
Text reads
"It was like good, fully developed veal, not young, but not yet beef. It was very definitely like that, and it was not like any other meat I had ever tasted. It was so nearly like good, fully developed veal that I think no person with a palate of ordinary, normal sensitiveness could distinguish it from veal. It was mild, good meat with no other sharply defined or highly characteristic taste such as for instance, goat, high game, and pork have. The steak was slightly tougher than prime veal, a little stringy, but not too tough or stringy to be agreeably edible. The roast, from which I cut and ate a central slice, was tender, and in color, texture, smell as well as taste, strengthened my certainty that of all the meats we habitually know, veal is the one meat to which this meat is accurately comparable."
