A RANDOM BUNCH OF NEWS ORG AND PERSONAL POSTS ON BLUESKY (" X CEO Linda Yaccarino is stepping down after two years," "Literally lol at this push notification," "Linda Yaccarino, CEO of Elon Musk's X, to step down in surprise move," etc) ABOUT LINDA YACCARINO STEPPING DOWN FROM X, AND EACH PHOTO SHOWS LINDA USING HANDS IN DIFFERENT WAYS. Hands up like grabby claws: MONSTER HANDS. Hands up and to the side like they are swaying: HULA HANDS. One hand with thumb and forefinger together: WORLD'S TINIEST VIOLIN HAND. One hand spread open, held up to the side as Yaccarino holds a mic: JAZZ HAND. Testifying at some sort of government hearing, hands folded: KNOW WHEN TO FOLD 'EM HANDS. Classic brainiac steepling pose: I AM SUPER SMART HANDS. Pointing to the right, and in this layout it looks like pointing at another Yaccarino: YOU DID GROK HITLER. Next image, pointing to the left, same deal, NO YOU DID ELON GROKLER. One hand on top of head one hand vertically: "ELON SAYS" HANDS. One hand with finger pointing up: CHECK PLEASE. — Photo illustration by Joe MacLeod based on what he saw on Bluesky today
