Screenshot of the four most popular videos on the official Spyro the Dragon channel on YouTube. The announcement trailer for A Realm Beyond has 4.8 million views in just over 24 hours. The announcement trailer for Reignited Trilogy has less than half of those views, at 2.2 million in 8 years. (Though I imagine the majority of those 2.2 million views on the Reignited trailer were from the first few weeks or months after its publication on 5 April 2018.)
Frame from Star Trek: Lower Decks, episode 5x06 “Of Gods and Angles”. In front are three floating geometric sentient beings: a deep blue cube, a yellow sphere, and their offspring (a green half-cube half-sphere). Behind the beings are five officers of the USS Cerritos: Commander Jack Ransom, Ensign Olly, Lieutenant j.g. Beckett Mariner, Captain Carol Freeman, and Lieutenant Shaxs. The blue cube character, named Quadralon, is voiced by Jack Quaid. Quaid also voices Lower Decks main cast character Lieutenant j.g. Bradward Boimler (not shown).

Scene from DuckTales (2017). Daisy Duck is at a restaurant. The waiter (off frame) has their pitcher about to pour more of Daisy’s beverage into her cup but Daisy has her hand over it. Daisy has the text “me”, her cup reads “piece of media I love”, and the pitcher reads “the fandom and their bull”.

A closed narrow yellow gate on a pavement path. The gate does not extend on the surrounding grass, allowing pedestrians to walk around it, rendering the gate pointless.
The previous icon for Birthday Bot#5876 on Discord. It is a white two-tiered birthday cake with candles against a sky blue circular background. I’m not sharing the new icon since I don’t want any AI-generated media on my profile. I understand not sharing the new icon makes it harder to identify the bot, however. If anyone wants to share the new bot icon, feel free to reply to this Bluesky post.

Hey y'all!!! I wanted to keep you guys updated and say that I'm back and I will be posting new drawings as of now. But I also wanted to ask for some help, I've been in a tough financial spot for while, living from paycheck to paycheck for a couple of years now and recently I hit negative, couple that with my aging hardware, rising prices and costs are starting to add up quickly. I'd usually open commissions but doing so would make things way worse since I still got a backlog of work to finish, so I wont accept requests until it is all done. So I'd appreciate if any of you have any spare cash you're whiling to donate to my Ko-fi page to help get through the end of the year, any amount helps a ton! And please don't donate if that will put you in financial hardship, if u can't donate, sharing this around will help me just as much. Thank you for your attention 💚 🧡 https://ko-fi.com/yv33s

A meme with four panels using stills from The Road to El Dorado (2000). The first panel has one of the assistants to Chief Tannabok say to him “Chief, we destroyed the Halloween decorations with fire!” The second panel has the chief say “Halloween is over anyway, it’s fine!” The third panel has the assistant more worried, with the caption “but the fire has melted the ice with *her* in it!” (“Her” referring to Mariah Carey.) The fourth panel has the chief in shock. The caption reads “Echoes of wintry singing in the distance”.
What's happening: Elon Musk confirmed that X will delete all heuristics from its recommendation system within six weeks. In other words, the familiar logic of likes, replies, and reposts that shaped Twitter for years is about to disappear. In its place, Grok, the platform's in-house Al model, will read and watch more than one hundred million posts and videos every day to decide what users see. At the same time, X is testing a new interface that keeps users inside the app even when they open external links. How this hits reality: This marks the first time a major social platform has handed full control of content discovery to an Al model. Engagement farms, trend-hacking accounts, and traditional growth tactics may soon lose their edge. The new winners will be those who write in ways that Grok interprets as engaging, turning social media optimization into a new form of prompt engineering. This shift could reshape influencer strategies, ad targeting, and even political communication in a matter of weeks. Key takeaway: X did not just change its algorithm; it replaced it with an Al reader. Your reach will soon depend on how fluently you can speak Grok.
Screenshot of a tweet from Twitter/X. The post reads “Imagine waking up one morning, having a stretch and opening your bedroom curtains, and there in your window plant box are 3 sleeping squirrels.” 😳😂😂👇 The image below is a photo of three sleeping squirrels, two of which are facing upwards and the third one facing down.
The title card for the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “Rapture” (5x10). Odo is dragging Quark into his security office as he blames him for an accident in the holosuite. Fun fact: this is the first DS9 episode with the Starfleet crew members in their new gray uniforms, first seen in Star Trek: First Contact (1996).
A frame of singer Maurice White in the music video of “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire. In the middle of the image is the caption “Twenty-First Remembered” in the font used in the Game Over screen for the video game Dark Souls. This image is supposed to resemble said Game Over screen. Today is September 21, and the song’s lyrics refer to the “twenty-first night of September”.
In Brooklyn Nine Nine, Sgt. Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews) yells “I’m a muffin man!” towards Captain Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher).

A three-panel meme. Panel 1, pessimist: “There are ants on my pizza.” Panel 2, optimist: “Free ants!!! AAAAAAAWWWWWW YYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAA” Panel 3, Bear Grylls: “There’s a pizza in my ants.”
A four panel meme. The first panel is Lt. Commander Geordi LaForge in Star Trek: The Next Generation, played by LeVar Burton, waving at the second panel in disgust. The second panel reads “A transphobic billionaire author’s birthday”, referring to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. The third panel has Geordi point to the fourth panel in approval. The fourth panel reads “Anniversary of Tobey Maguire being cast in the then-upcoming Spider-Man movie”. Maguire was cast as Peter Parker on July 31, 2000 for the movie Spider-Man, which premiered on May 3, 2002.

Close up shots of the right Joy Con controller for the Nintendo Switch, the right side of a DualShock 4 (PlayStation 4 [PS4] controller), the right side of an Xbox controller, and the left side of a keyboard with a green backlight. The Joy Con has four face buttons: X on top, Y on the left, A on the right, and B on the bottom. This arrangement was first introduced on the controllers for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1990. The A button is commonly used to accept menu prompts, and the B button is commonly used to navigate to the previous menu screen. The PlayStation controller was first introduced in 1994. This has a green triangle button in place of X, a pink square button in place of Y, a red circle button in place of A, and a blue diagonal cross button (aka X) in place of B. Accepting and returning in menu screens did not require a change in muscle memory. In Sony in America, however, the new accept button became X (bottom) and the new return button became circle (right). This goes against muscle memory. The modern Xbox controller was introduced in 2005 and has flipped X and Y buttons compared to the Nintendo’s arrangement, and flipped A and B buttons. This makes it extremely difficult for Xbox and Nintendo and Xbox users to be aware of the button arrangements when switching (pun intended) consoles.
