A video still of a woman sobbing dramatically, likely from a telenovela. The caption “[Cries in Spanish],” of memetic fame, has had the word “GenAI” crudely pasted over the last word, so it reads “[Cries in GenAI].”

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #330,885!
A near-white, rounded rectangle on an earth-tone gradient with the bold, near-black text “#330,885” centered on it. Smaller gray text above it reads “Celebrating 10M Users 🎉”. Slightly overlapping the bold text at its bottom right is “Bluesky Elder Certified”, written in small caps in a ring, with “First 10%” appearing in blue type in the center, emulating a seal. “Demetrios” and “@dco.st” appear at the bottom left in dark text and “Joined Jul 21, 2023” in light text on the bottom right.

The Manhattan Company, founded in 1799 to provide water to NYC, operated a bank that eventually became the Chase Manhattan Bank (now Chase). Tho the story was eventually refuted by the designer, Chase’s logo, resembling a cross-section of wooden pipe, was often cited as a nod to the bank’s origins.
The Chase logo, four interlocking trapezoids forming an octagon with a square center. It bears a (coincidental) resemblance to a cross section of a wooden pipe.

Leaping,worried-looking kitten over a bright green field. Subject of an early 2000s meme that stated “every time you m*sturbate, god kills a kitten”.
