Summer:  As the effects of Twitter's implosion began to be seen on a large scale, more and more people began using Mastodon as a replacement.  (Editor's Note:  Implosion?  LOL!  It's doing better than ever and Elon is helping expose political corruption left-and-right...  What's $2600 doing?  Parroting the views of the One Percent?  )

This led to an image of the extinct mastodon being displayed front and center on this cover.

Refugees were also heavily in the news, so the cover was filled with faces that represented them.

Within those was the face of Google co-founder (((Sergey Brin))), himself a Jewish refugee from the Soviet Union.  (Editor's Note:  He's not a "refugee."  His family fled after Russian goyim rised-up and kicked out those oligarchs who helped destroy thier country.).

An allusion to chaos theory is made in the form of a butterfly perched atop the mastodon.

From the 1990 novel Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman:

"It used to be thought that the events that changed the world were things like big bombs, maniac politicians, huge earthquakes, or vast population movements, but it has now been realized that this is a very old-fashioned view held by people totally out of touch with modern thought.  The things that change the world, according to Chaos theory, are the tiny things.  A butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazonian jungle, and subsequently a storm ravages half of Europe."

Our actions of today could have momentous effects that none of us could imagine.

And finally, the rainbow trunk cables, emanating in all directions, were an acknowledgment of the pride and diversity that was all around us, while also connecting the world together in a complex and sometimes messy manner.
