Notes:

"New York Magazine's 'The Cruel Kids' Table' Cover" refers to a viral cover story published by New York Magazine on January 27th, 2025, featuring photos taken at the "Power 30 Awards," an event co-sponsored by TikTok to celebrate social media influencers who aided in Donald Trump's reelection. While some internet users described the photos as "sinister," citing the high-contrast and supposedly garishly lighting, conservative internet users described the images as flattering, with J.D. Vance tweeting, "It’s like they’re trying to make us look cool." CJ Pearson, co-chair of the Republican National Committee Youth Advisory Council and a Black influencer who co-hosted the event accused the writer of the story of distorting the racial makeup at the party, saying that he and other non-white attendees were cropped out of the cover photo purposefully.
