Trump is weak.
A convicted felon wearing a blue suit appears to be in pain while attempting to climb stairs to an airplane. His hair is wispy and thin. There is no indication of a scar on his right ear.

Not sure about your city, but Louisville’s homeless population has prayers to keep them warm and fed.

The image is a vintage book cover for *On the Beach* by Nevil Shute. The title is prominently displayed in large yellow letters against a dark purple sky. At the bottom, there's a scene featuring a large mushroom cloud explosion, likely representing a nuclear event. A submarine is visible on the water in the midground, and a person with long, flowing hair, wearing an orange coat, stands on the shore with their back to the viewer, gazing at the explosion. Below, a caption mentions that the book features four pages of scenes from the motion picture starring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, and Anthony Perkins. The publisher "Signet" is noted with a price of 50 cents. The cover has visible signs of wear, including creases and scuff marks.

The cover of *The Shining* by Stephen King features an illustrated design with a haunting atmosphere. At the top, the title "The Shining" is displayed in large, bold yellow and gray letters, with "by Stephen King" in dark green beneath it. The central illustration showcases three characters. In the foreground, a young boy with brown hair stares ahead with wide, glowing eyes. Behind him stands a man with a serious expression, wearing a green sweater and collared shirt, and to his right, a blonde woman gazes off to the side with a somber look. In the background, there is a large, eerie Victorian-style mansion with turrets and detailed architecture, blending into a pale green misty sky. To the left, faint figures of hedge animals, including a lion, appear ghostly and surreal. At the bottom, text highlights: *"A new novel by the author of CARRIE and 'SALEM'S LOT"*. The cover’s muted greens, yellows, and browns create a sense of unease, matching the book’s supernatural themes.

The image is the cover of the novel *To Kill a Mockingbird* by Harper Lee. The top half of the cover features a black background with the title written in light green, italicized text, emphasizing the words "To Kill a Mockingbird" prominently. Below the title, the author’s name, "Harper Lee," appears in bold white, italicized text. The central artwork displays a stylized tree with black branches and clusters of bright green leaves against a deep rust-red background. The intricate details of the leaves create a vivid contrast with the dark branches, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the natural motif. A circular seal near the right-hand side reads, "Winner of the Pulitzer Prize," drawing attention to the book's prestigious recognition. At the bottom of the cover, in small print, the publisher is identified as "HarperPerennial Modern Classics," with a subtle logo in the lower right corner. The overall design combines earthy tones and a clean layout, evoking themes of growth, nature, and tradition while reflecting the book's deep cultural significance.

Some CEO saw a picture from the 50s with dozens of kids in iron lungs and thought “we could make a fortune on those”.
The image depicts a large room filled with iron lung machines, each containing a patient. Nurses and medical staff are attending to the patients and monitoring the machines. This historical scene illustrates the treatment of polio patients during a mid-20th-century epidemic, where iron lungs were used to assist with breathing for those suffering from paralysis.

The image is the cover of the book "Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything" by Joshua Foer. The design features three rectangular rooms stacked vertically, each in different colors (green, yellow, and peach). Each room contains surreal elements, such as a sumo wrestler, a woman in an Americana-themed outfit sitting on a ledge, a monkey hanging from the ceiling, a mannequin-like figure in a white dress and gloves, and a dinosaur tail peeking through a doorway. The title and author’s name are prominently displayed across the rooms.

"Cover of *Oryx and Crake* by Margaret Atwood. The design features a close-up of a pair of green eyes, overlaid with semi-transparent leaves and a large, dark blue flower in the foreground.

A quote from *The New Yorker* at the top reads, 'Towering and intrepid... Atwood does Orwell one better.' The overall aesthetic is layered and mysterious, evoking a sense of intrigue."
