At a Google event and don't know anyone but everything is very Instagrammable
A series of balloons in star, round, and heart shaped, some with the Google logo containing the numbers 25 in place of the two Os. A large, lit up number 25. An array of cupcakes with circles on top in the Google logo colours. Some have white circles with the Google logo with the numbers 25 in place of the Os. Others have glittery letters sticking out of them saying Hello 25. An array of colourful balloons in red, blue and green with a large white balloon at the top featuring the Google logo with the number 25 in the middle.

Looks like Ryan Broderick of Garbage Day had the same thought:

(From: https://www.garbageday.email/p/the-algorithmic-anti-culture-of-scale)
A screencap from Garbage Day with the following text: 'My guiding theory has been that neither Bluesky or Threads will end up killing Twitter. That this whole race to build a new Twitter will just result in a bunch of increasingly-smaller versions of the same app, used by different groups. Nothing I’ve seen from Threads this week has convinced otherwise. But I do think it’s worth pointing out the scale already at play here.'
