Compare that slop below to this inspired work @scottsaslow.bsky.social did for the alt cover on the upcoming 4K blu of FABULOUS STAINS. He started from my teenage drawing, found an existing image of Diane Lane in the approved stills, gave it a little embellishment.
It's not that difficult, studios!

Yeah, the lady in Berwyn who started an empanada business is clearly just biding her time.

Tom Homan is a bitch.

Here’s something revealing: A WGN report found the vast majority of people ICE detains don't have criminal convictions. Tom Homan’s answer:

“Most national security threats don’t have criminal histories. They’re lying low to do the dirty deed.”

Here's another clip to celebrate Cliff's 85th birthday. This one features him walking around Birmingham in his 1973 film Take Me High. Look out for brutalist landmarks like the Central Library (RIP), Alpha Tower and New Street Signal Box

Let's see what's happening in the community
Screenshot from the New Orleans subreddit; the title is Louis Armstrong Beehive Crotch/Ass, and the pic is a zoomed in view of the lower torso and upper legs of a metal statue of a man wearing a suit, head not visible, and there's a small beehive attached squarely on his dick area. Arrow to the right indicates this is pic one of two. Pic two from the same New Orleans subreddit post; the pic is a zoomed in view of the back side of the metal statue, and there's a small beehive crammed right up in his butt area; one assumes this is connected to the beehive in the front; the bees found this nice recessed space that's protected from the weather and got to building.
