The Olympic rings in a screengrab from the 2026 opening ceremony. Except it's part of an AI generated video segment, and so the blue ring in the upper left is gray instead, and also out of position slightly. It's hard to tell, but it also looks like the rings don't interlock the way they're supposed to.

A white great egret standing on a blue paddle board in a lake. Its head is in the water and wings extended backwards as it reaches for a fish. There's a dock in the background with ducks on it, and a great blue heron on a different paddle board. The heron is also watching closely for fish, stanced up and ready to strike.

A black and white comic about a cat. He sees food on the table and thinks it's for him. He sticks his head through the handles of the bag it came in trying to get at it. When told no, he turns away, but the bag is stuck around his neck. He realizes this with alarm, then bolts up the stairs meowing loudly, bag flying behind him. In the last panel, he imagines himself flying through the air with a cape on as the Superman theme plays.

Tangle is onstage, tipsily singing "Hungry Like The Wolf" and pointing at Whisper, who has her head down on the table in embarrassment.
