I noticed that classic Sonic is raising his index finger, while modern Sonic is giving a thumbs-up.
I also thought about the fact that a hedgehog is, etymologically, a kind of hog, or pig, which made me wonder if there was any connection to the Samson Mystery Pig (as seen in "Pigs and the Grail"). That toy works by having a live fly trapped inside it, causing its "mysterious" movements, but the fly would presumably also produce a sound, for a "sonic" angle.
I then randomly decided to check Barnhardt Memes, even though it rarely features really quality memes. Several of the images from "Barnhardt Meme Barrage, 10 January ARSH 2026" were synchronistically interesting.
The third meme in the barrage features the word pigs, and then immediately below it is one with (modern) Sonic the Hedgehog giving a thumbs-up -- synching with my earlier thoughts about how Sonic is in a certain sense a pig.
I'm not sure what Sonic has to do with the Epstein files, or why he would be giving a thumbs-up to the cover-up.
Then three memes down from Sonic was this one:
Apparently this guy, who is raising his index finger like classic Sonic, is the main character from a 1980s superhero comedy called The Greatest American Hero. The symbol on his chest coincidentally exactly resembles the majhong tile known in the English-speaking world as the "Red Dragon," recently featured in my post "The water is blue, and the birds are awake."
Searching my blog for red dragon to get that link, I also found a post from March 2024 that I'd forgotten about: "Russian AI, the Pokémon dragon calendar, and a game you can play in your living room with your pet gorilla," which also features red dragon "tiles." At the time I posted it, I was unaware of what mahjong tiles were called in English and didn't know that one of them was called the Red Dragon. (The Chinese name is completely different.)
I dreamed that I visited Francis Berger’s blog and found that he had posted a long series of images tiled in a grid layout. These consisted of maybe 8 to 12 unique images, which occurred again and again in an unpredictable sequence like the digits of an irrational number. If the same image occurred two or three times in a row, this was represented with a larger rectangular version of the image, occupying the same space as two or three ordinary square tiles.The images were colored line drawings of fantastic creatures, mostly somewhat dragon-like. There was a red dragon which seemed to me to be the most important one, and a few of the other creatures were pale blue or cyan. I think one of them looked a bit like my Pokélogan, and there was another that was like a mermaid but less human-looking. Overall, the images suggested the Pokémon aesthetic.
"Pokélogan," as explained in a February 2024 post, is the name of my Pokémon keychain, which represents Lapras, a Loch Ness monster-like creature.
Sonic is blue, but Ralph, the Greatest American Hero, dresses in red. Wondering if there was any blue connection, I searched the Wikipedia article on GAH for that word and found a mention of an episode called "The Devil in the Deep Blue Sea," in which the hero fights "a Loch Ness Monster-type of creature."
By a strange coincidence, I had just been listening to the Cab Calloway song "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea," which is mentioned four times in Laeth's Sketches of Alice, which I am currently reading. (I've listened to several songs mentioned in the novel, wanting to be able to visualize the scenes more adequately.)
I tried to find "The Devil in the Deep Blue Sea" episode on YouTube but was only able to find a couple of very short teaser trailers, neither of which shows the monster. One of these was only eight seconds long, and when it finished YouTube for some reason cued up a completely unrelated video called "donald trump being donald trump for 4 minutes and 5 seconds." It begins with the famous clip where a journalist says to Trump, "You've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals," after which Trump raises his index finger (like classic Sonic, and the Greatest American Hero) to clarify, "Only Rosie O'Donnell." This of course syncs with the first meme above, with its implication that women are pigs.
Note added: I watched the rest of that Trump video. It also includes a clip of him talking about "the late, great Hannibal Lector." Hannibal Lector was introduced in the novel Red Dragon, the title of which refers to the mahjong tile.

Trump's calling women dogs also syncs with "bitches" in the previous post. There's also my dream about a dog named Rosie.

The January 11 meme barrage begins with one about Trump being "Israel's bitch."

The Great American Hero has an interesting theme song called "Believe it or Not". When you get to the chorus, what is to be believed or not is that the singer, in this case made to be synonymous with the Hero, is "walking on air". A walk through the air has obviously played a role in some of our symbols, if you remember.

So you would be tempted to perhaps think that the singer is meant to be the Hero, but there is an interesting line in the first verse right before the chorus in which the singer says "It should have been somebody else". Taken innocently, this would be the singer stating their own disbelief that they the are the one walking on air (likely how it was intended). The other way of interpreting it, however, is an admission that it really was supposed to be somebody else, and that they usurped that role.
I was thinking more on this play between Red and Blue since it has been pretty persistent symbolism. I saw the image of Fats Domino again with the Blueberry Hill title underneath, and has Blueberry Hill translate in my mind as another word game: Blue Barry Hill. As in Fats Domino was Blue Berry (which I guess also works given you've talked about the interchangeability of Blue and Black).
Berry has a few meanings, but from Irish it means "Plunderer". I checked, and I've used that word in my own blog and writings to describe only one person: Pharazon. Pharazon was recorded in Daymon's writings as really being a usurper who then plundered, going back to a Blue Barry and a Blue Sun, and dressing up in the clothes and role of the Chosen Hero. As I've mentioned, I'd like to get the complete story from a more reliable source.
Another loose link here is that Dominoes (Fats Domino) and Mahjong are both tile based games.
That "Sonic says" thing is just another meme template. Most of the examples shown below are banal; the only one that really got me was "Cheese is just a loaf of milk", which also links back to "Blueberries, divine daughters, and a neverbird".

Another Blue and Red symbolism thing that had been on my mind was a movie that was released on Christmas Day here in the US called "Song Sung Blue". Apparently, it is about a Neil Diamond tribute band. The movie poster has the lettering for Song Sung as red, with Blue obviously in Blue. I can't quite place it, but it jumped out at me enough to look into the movie (I haven't seen it).
Hugh Jackman (a name that is interesting given recent references to a Hugh/ Hugo) stars in it. His name is Mike, fascinatingly enough. I guess he is married to someone played by Kate Hudson, which makes even more sense since in my story Kate has been a name symbolically attached to the "Hugh" and Mike (Michael). And to hit us over the head with this connection, Hudson means "Son of Hugh", go figure. Two "Hughs" together.
Of significant interest as well is Kate Hudson's name in the film: Claire.
I don't know anything else about it. Here is the poster:

It also got me listening to the actual song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSy9dt5FeS0
A song sung blue has the singer "weeping like a willow". A potential tie to this "Blue Song" with the subject of weeping highlighted in earlier comments about the Blubbery Hill.
Here's the trailer for Song Sung Blue (Bill accidentally posted to "Believe It Or Not" link again).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqF5M7IK7I0
The trailer begins with "Sweet Caroline" and plays it again near the end. Back in June I had a dream in which "Sweet Caroline" plays during the credits at the end of a movie, accompanied by footage of flying saucers. I wonder what song plays during the credits of Song Sung Blue.
https://narrowdesert.blogspot.com/2025/06/caroline-times-never-had-effect-youd.html
That post also links Diamond's song to another song called "Caroline," which begins, "You were born in St. Clare's hospital, but I say you were born up in the sky" -- a link to Claire (Kate Hudson) and to "walking on air."
In the trailer, Jackman says to Hudson, "You're my Cracklin' Rosie," referencing another Neil Diamond song. This post features Rosie O'Donnell, and the first comment brings in Rosie the mastiff. I have a certain history with that song. It was one of the first songs I learned to play by ear on the banjo as a teen, after hearing it on the radio. Later, I used to play extremely slowed-down music (0.25 speed) on YouTube as a way of inducing a light trance, and my two go-to songs for this purpose were "Who Put the Bomp" (by a guy named Barry) and "Cracklin' Rosie." Also occasionally "Red, Red Wine."
"Weeping like a willow" is a link to both Blubbery Hill and "Blueberry Hill," with its "wind in the willow" line.
"Walking on Air" is the name of a Moody Blues song. "Song Sung Blue" is from the Neil Diamond album Moods. Another track from Moods is "Walk on Water." The first line of the Moody Blues song "Walking on Air" is "Walk on the water."
"Cracklin' Rosie" is from the album Tap Root Manuscript. Just yesterday I was browsing Mormon YouTube and watched a couple of minutes of a video that begins with "a big shout-out to Taproot Soda . . . They're not a sponsor, but I want them to be a sponsor."

I just read the last "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" reference in Sketches of Alice. It comes just after they refer to a lionfish in an aquarium as a "pokemon.'
