A person wearing a red knit beanie hat looking directly at the camera with a serious, questioning expression. They appear to be in an indoor setting with blurred background elements that look like screens or electronic equipment. The image has text at the top reading ‘Yall got anymore of them jobs?’ and ‘made with mematic’ at the bottom, indicating this is a meme format.

The company I am starting is named Vexara Labs. I have a landing page currently that I think is fun (vexaralabs.com). I've been working on the company page this week with full branding, a lot of data/context around services, as well as blog functionality specifically dedicated to the business.
Vexara Labs website homepage preview featuring a purple and white design. The main heading reads 'Transform Your Cloud Infrastructure' with a tagline about expert consulting that transforms infrastructure challenges into scalable SaaS solutions. The page displays three key metrics: 99.99% Uptime, 2x Faster Performance, and 1M+ Ops/sec Scale. On the right side is a dashboard mockup showing infrastructure analysis with cost optimization insights, performance bottlenecks, and SaaS opportunities. Below the dashboard are two highlighted metrics: 40% Cost Savings and 3 Weeks To Production. The page includes 'Start Your Transformation' and 'Watch Demo' call-to-action buttons, and shows logos of trusted companies including TechCorp, DevScale, and CloudSync at the bottom.

Got some color and black & gray shading done. We’ll see how it heals then maybe it’ll need some touch ups. I absolutely love how this came out. The artist nailed it!
This image shows a colorful tattoo on someone's upper arm/shoulder. The tattoo features a vertical arrangement of popular characters from the Pokémon franchise, surrounded by various flowers and botanical elements. From top to bottom, the tattoo includes: - A red and orange Charmander (fire-type Pokémon) at the top - What appears to be a yellow and brown Sandshrew in the middle - A yellow Pikachu with distinctive red cheeks - An Eevee at the bottom with its characteristic brown fur and white ruff The tattoo is done in a colorful style with the Pokémon characters in their signature colors against a backdrop of black-outlined flowers and botanical elements. The person is wearing a burgundy/maroon colored shirt, and the image appears to be taken in what looks like a tattoo studio environment with display shelves visible in the background.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A meme based on actual events from last night
The image shows a meme with two people on what appears to be a film set. There's a person in an elaborate green and black costume with text overlay reading "My incredible physicist wife" standing next to someone looking at a tablet or device with text overlay reading "Me explaining CAP Theorem." The image appears to be a humorous take on explaining technical concepts to someone with specialized knowledge in a different field. The bottom of the image has a watermark that reads "@lattesandvim.dev".​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I feel attacked.
This is a meme showing two parts: On the left is an illustration of a person looking down at themselves in front of a mirror, drawn in a sepia/brown tone. On the right, reflected in the mirror, is Vi from Arcane, a character with pink/red hair wearing her signature tactical gear including a red vest, dark pants with straps/harnesses, and boots. The text at the top reads 'visualising in the mirror the man i want to become:' The meme represents aspirational self-improvement by contrasting the current self with Vi's strong, confident character design.

A meme similar to the “hello this is dog” meme but it’s a duck and the phone is a banana. The text on the image reads “yes hello, this is duck.”
