I've been making fake posters for movies I see this year based on posters for other movies. I'm trying to figure out which ones to feature at the end of the year. If you've got a second I'd appreciate if you flipped through them and told me your favorites. ga2so.com/posters-2025/

Thanks!

Yesterday I wrapped my year-long "make fake posters for real movies based on real posters for other movies" project. You can see all 257 with extra stuff here: www.ga2so.com/blog/categor...

And here's a thread of some favorites.

Well, this makes sense.

DHS says REAL ID, which DHS certifies, is too unreliable to confirm U.S. citizenship

It's the punch line to a bad joke that started 20 years ago when Congress passed the REAL ID Act.

1. Yes, absolutely tip generously!
2. @jessethorn.bsky.social is rudely doing that thing where he looks completely different from how I imagined he looked, and that is rude.

Whatever your idea is about the American labor system and how it “should” work… you need to tip more. Just tip more. Tip generously. Tip!

Contributor: You're not imagining it. L.A. has surrendered to the potholes

To avoid a legal obligation to make sidewalks accessible, the city stopped repaving streets in July and doesn't plan to resume.
