This week in internet happenings, the Wicked press tour gifted us yet another chaotic viral video, which turned into a frame-by-frame meme fest—for which I am truly grateful.

Here’s what happened. A reporter tells Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande:

To which Cynthia Erivo goes…

To which Ariana Grande goes…

To which Tracy goes…

To which the internet goes, oh let’s ride.

The memes ranged from, a variety of things that individuals were holding space for.

To defining and justifying every action in the context of queer media.

To people sharing what they did not know about themselves.

To…. whatever this is…

It was beautiful to witness and, as with any good internet story, a meme coin was born—and I made $700 on it.

Happy Thanksgiving!
