President Biden’s campaign team is hiring a master of memes

The successful candidate will be responsible for “engaging the internet’s top content and meme pages.”

United States President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign team is looking for a meme expert in an apparent effort to win over Generation Z voters.

The Biden for President (BFP) campaignposteda job position for a “Partner Manager” with a successful candidate responsible for initiating and managing “day-to-day operations in engaging the internet’s top content and meme pages.”

According to Indeed, Biden’s camp will pay its Wilmington, Delaware-based meme manager between $65,000 and $85,000 a year, which is slightly above average for digital marketer pay in the United States.

According to the job description, the main task of the Biden meme master would be to manage relationships with digital media companies, podcasters and “meme pages across a number of social media platforms.”

Biden’s team has dabbled in meme creation before. His campaign embraced the “Dark Brandon” laser eyes meme in early 2022 in an attempt to cast the 81-year-old as internet-savvy.

In February, Biden was asked about the Dark Brandon meme by Seth Meyers on hisLate Nightshow. He replied, “I resent the hell out of it,” before donning a pair of dark aviators.

Biden again donned the sunglasses and referenced the persona to cheers from the audience at the annual dinner of the White House Correspondents’ Association in April.

On the other side of the political lines, Trump is no stranger to memes. His August 2023 mugshot went viral after being processed at Fulton County Jail, Georgia, for his fourth indictment.

The CryptoPunks are 10,000 uniquely generated characters. No two are exactly alike, and each one of them can be officially owned by a single person on the Ethereum blockchain. Originally, they could be claimed for free by anybody with an Ethereum wallet, but all 10,000 were quickly claimed. Now they must be purchased from someone via the marketplace that's also embedded in the blockchain.
The Harvest
An anthropomorphic figure stands, wide eyed, staring at the viewer; its body masculine, muscular, and humanoid. Its “mind” dissociates into a conglomerate of structures resembling feathers, grain, teeth–as well as a radial flower “node”, casting linear rays throughout the composition. To his left, a vat of bodies gesture and writhe in a kind of amniotic soup, attended by a video game robot. The bot's red display reads “uWu”. Behind the robot and filling the left side of the composition is an archaic figure composed of a variety of vintage objects and symbols. Among them are a hardbound book with ancient cuneiform scripts, indicating barley, beer, bread, ox, house, and sky, behind which is a grimacing, salivating jagged toothed maw; and an old Commodore floppy drive. The figure’s head tilts toward an illuminated crescent moon, suggesting the Egyptian Sacred Bull. The archaic figure is composed of a variety of mutating cells, which shift in color, and pattern; eventually breaking free into an ephemeral broadcast of bubbles which move across the background. The work came into being against a psychological introspection, which included associations to pop culture such as alien abduction and pod people, as well as quite a bit of reflection on grains as a symbol of civilization, agriculture, sustenance, life, and imbibing (mainly whiskies).
