"The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution," said Trump in his post. "Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic's technology. We don't need it, we don't want it, and will not do business with them again!"

A variation of the "Epic Handshake" meme from the 1987 sci-fi movie Predator, showing a close-up of four men (instead of the original 2) greeting each other with an arm-wrestle handshake.

Each arm is labeled with the following text:

- Blind and vision-impaired people
- People with temporarily impaired vision
- People with slow internet connection
- People wondering WTF they're looking at

The words "alt text" are shown in the center where all four hands meet.

Whimsical sidewalk chalk art by David Zinn featuring a playful green dragon lying on its back, laughing as autumn leaves appear to burst from its mouth, while a small mouse in a blue dress stands nearby. The scene blends seamlessly with real fallen orange and brown leaves on the pavement, creating the illusion that the dragon is breathing autumn into life.
