Governor Andrew Cuomo has taken over a billboard in New York City's Columbus Circle to give updates on the curfew. Its eerie aesthetic drew dystopian comparisons and fueled a lot of memes.
In addition to the curfew schedule, the billboard features a variety of changing text messages, which for whatever reason seem to be designed to look like the governor’s tweets: “DO NOT BE A CRIMINAL,” “LOOTING INSULTS GEORGE FLOYD’S MEMORY,” “HELP ME RESTORE CALM.”
The dystopian aesthetic has been widely panned on social media, prompting horrified reactions like “We are living in a dystopian nightmare. Please tell me this isn’t real.”
