Happy anniversary of the Villa Diodati summer, where the Shelleys, Lord Byron, Claire Clairmont and Polidori gathered in a house on the shores of Lake Geneva and told ghost stories.
Celebrate by taking laudanum and hallucinating horrors, or by watching one of the films inspired by the events:

Will the Trumpers learn that you can’t press release your way out of dumbshit decisions? We shall see.
