From a story about the May 2017 un-cancellation ot "Timeless" —

"The nation’s only hope is an unexpected team. . . ."

As often happens.

"We have reached peak polarization."

Consider the headline below,

"Why Trump Supporters Lie About the Inauguration Photo."

Consider also Olga's "Brain Bro" below in the context of

Adam Frisk reports from a Canadian network, Global News —

Compare and contrast with the photos in the previous post,
Inauguration Crowd Size According to Getty Images.

The "Spectators fill the National Mall" photo above seems
to correspond to the crowd during , not before  the inauguration
(as shown in the second photo above, the "People gather" photo).

Compare to the photo in today's earlier post taken during  the Inauguration:

At left, just prior to the inauguration in 2009;
at right, during the inauguration in 2017.

" 'Split' is being released by Universal under the Blumhouse label,
a brand associated with unpretentious, clever, neo-traditionalist
scare-pictures like 'Insidious,' 'Paranormal Activity' and 'The Purge.'
That seems like the right company for Mr. Shyamalan . . . ."

A check of the Blumhouse label leads to a NY Times article
