Twitch emotes list: the meaning of Twitch characters, explained – Polygon

To understand every moment of Twitch every pitfall, every win, every ridiculous play is to understand the emotes, those instantaneous reactions in the right sidebar. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of emotes being sent over Twitch chat every second, and to someone whos just ventured in to check out a stream, it can be a little daunting.

Emotes have their ups and downs. Some, like Kappa, are used to help people communicate with one another during incredible streaming moments while the chat moves at breakneck speeds. Other people may start using an innocuous emote designed around a popular streamer for insulting or harmful reasons. Being part of Twitch culture means tuning into emotes as they emerge and evolve. Thats easier said than done.

New emotes are introduced all the time. Extensions like BTTV make it easier for third-parties to integrate emotes into Twitch, circumventing the platforms own rules. Not to mention that an emotes meaning in one community can be totally different in another. Its all very headache inducing if youre not in deep.

To get you up to speed, weve compiled a list of popular emotes below, with the intention of adding more if any rise in popularity, and updating the explanations if the emotes change in meaning. If a particular emote isnt on the list, but is popular within the circle of streamers you follow, the best way to understand what it means and how its used is to ask in chat, on Twitter or check out the streamers Reddit page for further details.

Polygon spoke with Don Caldwell, Know Your Memes managing editor, to help explain why some of these emotes are incredibly popular.

What it means: Kappa is a starting point for anyone trying to enter and understand Twitch culture, according to Caldwell. The emote is based on former Justin.TV employee, Josh DeSeno, who was charged with setting up the chat client. People mainly use or spam Kappa as a way of carrying out a sarcastic reply to something happening on stream.

It is the kind of quintessential emote, Caldwell said. It might get briefly taken over by Trihard or ForsenE or another popular emote, but it remains at the top consistently. Its almost a requirement to know what Kappa is.

When to use it: If a streamer does something that makes you roll your eyes or clap with a sarcastic bite, this is the emote to use.

What it means: TriHard is an extremely popular yet controversial emote and it has a detailed history. Based on a face made by streamer TriHex while at an anime convention in Dallas, the emote didnt officially become TriHard until 2014 when TriHex was speedrunning Yoshis Island and noticed a Twitch staff member hanging out in chat. TriHex told Kotaku he did everything possible to get their attention and, essentially, was trying way too hard. So he became TriHard.

The emote is mostly innocuous, though in recent years its been used with racist connotations by some Twitch users. By mid-2016 and into 2017, users would spam the screen with TriHard whenever a black streamer appeared, often punctuating racist remarks made in-chat. TriHex finally spoke about the emotes weaponization. He argued that banning the emote meant the bad actors won when there was nothing obscene or offensive about the emotes conception.

When to use it: If something exciting happens on screen, hype is building or an exciting announcement is made, feel free to use this emote. Remember, however, to be aware of who is on screen when the emote is being used, and ensure that your hype message doesnt read as insulting or offensive.

PogChamp, one of the oldest emotes on Twitch, is based on Gootecks, a professional Street Fighter player, and is mainly used to express surprise in response to something happening on stream. PogChamp is based on this video from 2000, but was given the name PogChamp because of a Mad Catz fight stick promo released in 2011 for a tournament that Gootecks was competing in.

PogChamp is still one of the most popular emotes, and part of the reason is because its pretty safe.

How to use it: If you want to express being surprised or excited by something.

4head is pretty self-explanatory when it comes to visuals. Its an emote based on a photo of League of Legends streamer Cadburrys widely grinning face. The emote started to pick up in 2015. Its a pretty wholesome meme, that is mostly used to express a reaction to a joke being made. The reaction can either be seen as an earnest response or sarcastic.

How to use it: In reaction to a joke.

Unlike TriHard, cmonbruhs emote has always been slightly controversial. Its difficult to pinpoint when CmonBruh really became a meme, but the earliest known mention dates back to 2016, according to Know Your Meme. The emote is primarily used to express confusion over something being said on stream, usually in response to a chat participant saying something with a racist connotation. The emote is also used, however, to illustrate a more general confusion hence the cmon, bruh language.

How to use it: If someone says something that is completely baffling and absurd.

LUL may seem pretty obvious ts the Twitch emote equivalent to LOL, but it has a serpentine history. LUL is based on streamer and YouTuber TotalBiscuit, whose real name is John Bain. Although Bain added the LUL emote to Twitch himself, it was later removed following a DMCA takedown request from the photographer who took the photo.

Since Twitch didnt want to touch the emote because of legal concerns, according to Bain, he uploaded the photo to BTTV. BTTV, otherwise known as BetterTTV, is a third-party browser extension that allows people to use emotes in chat. Since these arent run through Twitch directly, the emotes often circumvent rules. This meant LUL could exist as an emote a very, very popular emote on Twitch despite the DMCA takedown. It only grew from there.

How to use it: If you want to express deep laughter.

LuL is LUL its just the BTTV version. Whats most interesting about LuL, however, are the multiple variations that its birthed. Theres OmegaLUL, which features Bains laughing face but with wider mouth; OmegaLUL CD, which covers his mouth with a CD and was recently removed from Twitch because of controversy surrounding it; there are so many different variation of the LuL emote based on photos of different streamers laughing. There are so many variations that all stem from one joke but mean wildly different things, its nearly impossible to keep track of.

The best advice when using a LuL variation is to do a bit of research before using a specific emote. See how people in the community use the emote in chat, or check to see if conversations are happening on Reddit. The only way to safely use emotes in chat is to be informed about the connotation and message being sent.

Memes in general are about cultural literacy, Caldwell said. How can you show your membership to certain subculture? This is exactly whats going on with Twitch emotes, and some of these are really hard to grasp. Being able to have a firm grasp of how these emotes work is important in order to participate. I think were going to see more and more emotes, and more and more variations of the same emotes.

LuL is a good place to explore those types of variations because most of them are still directly related to laughing at something, and thats a near universal language.

How to use it: Again, depending on the context, its used if you want to express extraordinary laughter at something.

Finally, weve reached the cringe emote. haHAA is based on a photo of Andy Sambergs face from a Lonely Island music video that aired on Saturday Night Live in 2010. The specific haHAA is a text translation of the awkward laugh Samberg produces in the video, as seen below.

The emote was introduced in 2015, but didnt pick up steam until 2016 thanks to the speedrunning community. GamesDoneQuick, a semiannual charity event that brings together top speed runners, used the emote to express their discomfort if something cringe-worthy happened during the speedrun or on stream. The emote continued to grow, and was eventually banned by GDQ organizers because of the bullying connotation.

As it became more popular, members of the Twitch community began to associate the cringe-worthiness with young kids on the platform. Im 12, btw became punctuated by hahaa as a way of pointing to someone with the immaturity of a 12-year-old. It has since then become an emote used to illustrate a cringe-worthy moment on stream, and insult other people.

How to use it: If something happens on-stream or in-game that makes you cringe, you can use haHAA. That said, try not to be a total jerk on Twitch.

SourPls is another older emote that was taken from a YouTube video and made into a BTTV emote in 2014. The emotes name, based on the YouTube user who uploaded it, stars SourNotHardcore (a staff member at Twitch) dancing in a store. Hes got a goofy grin on his face. The emote has since gone through many variations with one of the most popular being ForsenPls. The emote went through its own period of troubles (the fact that it was animated caused problems for BTTV), but has since emerged as one of the most popular-to-date.

How to use it: If you want to celebrate a particularly good event on stream.

FeelsBadMan and FeelsGoodMan are two of the most popular Pepe the Frog variations, alongside EZ and PepeHands that well get into below. The emote is based on artist Matt Furies Pepe the Frog, a longstanding comic character that became co-opted and weaponized by the alt-right during the 2016 election cycle. Its one of the most recognizable memes on the internet, but Know Your Memes Caldwell said its use as an emote on Twitch is particularly interesting. The rest of the world associates Pepe the Frog with political ties, but Caldwell suggests that Twitchs Pepe use remains largely unpolitical.

Once all the controversy happened with Pepe in recent years especially in the 2016 election people were left wondering what the future of Pepe was, Caldwell said. Will he be able to escape this connotation? On Twitch, yes. Pepe is living in a non-political context, and completely divorced from politics. On Twitch, with these emotes, theres no political connotation.

Thats debatable. People know what Pepe the Frog means in 2018 its why certain organizations like the Overwatch League dont let people bring Pepe the Frog signs to events. Pepe the Frogs existence as a Twitch emote is so sophisticated and ever changing that it can exist as its own article, but there are certainly some emotes that are more popular than others. FeelsBadMan and FeelsGoodMan are precisely what they sound like. One version of the frog, FeelsBadMan, is used to express disappointment over something on screen. The other, FeelsGoodMan, is used to celebrate an accomplishment. Feels Good Man is based on a line the original Pepe the Frog character said in Furies comic strip. Think of FeelsBadMan and FeelsGoodMan as Twitchs own tragedy and comedy drama masks.

How to use it: Depending on the situation, if you want to express a feeling of deep sadness or joy over something thats happened, use FeelsBadMan or FeelsGoodMan.

Theres a lot to break down to really understand gachiGASM. The term gachimuchi is a Japanese phrase that refers to muscular men who also have a fair amount of fat. This is how many people describe Billy Herrington, a former adult film star, who gained notoriety after one of his videos went viral on a site called Nico Nico Douga. gachiGASM is, well, based on a photo of Herringtons face during orgasm. The emote is used to express a sense of deep pleasure over something that happens on screen, hence the GASM attached to the end of the emote name.

How to use it: If something happens that makes you really, really happy, feel free to use gachiGASM.

Monkas is another member of the Pepe emote family, and one of the most important emotes on Twitch. Monkas is the word youre most likely to see outside of Twitch chat (on Reddit or Twitter), and its crucial to understanding how certain communities react to it. Monkas goes back to a 4chan thread from 2011, but the illustration wasnt used as en emote until 2016 when someone uploaded it to the FrankerFaceZ Twitch extension. But it wasnt until February 2017, when it was dropped into Forsens Reddit page,, that the emote really seemed to take off. Once Forsens community runs with any emote or joke, all of Twitch is bound to notice, and other communities followed suit.

Monkas tends to show up often on different streams because its relatable. Its used in a moment of high intense action or something thats particularly anxiety-inducing. During IRL streams, this may happen during a face-to-face encounter or when a streamer is ranting about something. Chats for gaming streams will see this pop up during stressful gameplay moments, and the chat wants to express that feeling through a visual. Monkas is a pretty relatable emote, and its bound to be one you see floating around Twitch.

How to use it: If youre feeling particularly anxious or overwhelmed, throw up a Monkas.

Poggers is another Pepe emote, but this one is sort of based on PogChamp his frog alter ego . The emote was uploaded to FrankerFacez, and became popular in 2017. Its especially popular in certain scenes, like Overwatch streams or League of Legends matches.

How to use it: If youre surprised or excited.

If you guessed this is another Pepe the Frog take, youre correct. PepeHands also became mainstream thanks to Forsens community, who spread it Reddit and spammed it in chat. The image, which features Pepe crying and his hands in the air, is mainly used to express sadness over something.

How to use it: If something on stream upsets you or the streamer themselves is sad.

A robot meme based on video game news publication Destructoids logo. The robot is mainly used when a glitch, error or computerized sound is made on stream. Its also used, however, to poke fun at peoples robotic tendencies. It was used quite heavily during Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerbergs testimony before congress that was livestreamed on Twitch by The Washington Post. Twitch chat would spam Mr. Destructoid whenever Zuckerberg said something or reacted to a question.

How to use it: If someone is acting robotic, or a weird glitch happens.

Jebaited is an emote based on FGC icon Alex Jebailey. The icon, which shows Jebailey being taken aback by surprise, is used when someone is trying to troll or bait a streamer or other viewers in chat. Its essentially a callout well known within the Twitch community. The term jebaited is often thrown around on forums like Reddit when someone is successfully trolled.

How to use it: If someone in chat or on stream is trying to bait or troll others, use the emote to call them out.

There are so many other emotes that could have made it onto this list, but consider this your essential guide to getting started. Use the comment section below to drop some of your other favorite emotes that you use on Twitch.

Frog Eye Salad made with Pudding and Acini Di Pepe – Salty Side Dish

Frog eye salad, made with vanilla pudding, is a perfect summer side dish to feed a crowd. Light and flavorful, this dessert dish is full of of pasta, pudding, and crushed fruits, making it not only a classic, but so easy to serve up at a BBQ or get together.

The only problem with this acini de pepe recipe isnt how you make it, but how you stop eating it once its made!

With summer holidays coming up like 4th of July and Fathers Day, get togethers are getting ready to be in full swing.

That means tons of party food, large salads and side dishes for a crowd and desserts aplenty. If you are looking for a side dish that can feed the whole table and then some, this frog eye fruit salad is a perfect way to make a ton and have left overs to boot.

People ask how much it makes? Well that always depends on how much you eat, but you can safely feed 1000.

Kidding.kidding.

This frog eye salad pudding recipe feeds probably closer to 20, but you can still feed quite a bit! Now if you have never had frog eye salad, its light with a tapioca-like consistency and pasta. It doesnt take too long to make, the longest party being boiling the pasta, and is a complementary dish for grilling.

Oh and I did want to mention that KIDS LOVE FROG EYE SALAD!

What is Frog Eye Salad??

Frog eye salad is a lovely combination of pasta, pudding, and crushed fruits, making it a perfect lightly sweet summer side dish. Also called a Acini Di Pepe Pasta Salad, its a super classic and homemade dessert side dish that keeps the spoonfuls coming.

Scroll to the bottom for a printable version of this post, including all measurements and instructions,so you can follow along in your kitchen without being on your phone.

Here is what you need to gather to get started:

Acini De Pepe pasta isnt always available in every store. Its a specialty item for some common groceries.

Your best bet is to check out the International aisles in places like Publix or head to a store like Fresh Market. That being said, there IS a substitution that works well if you cannot find Acini Di Pepe that is readily available and that is PASTINA.

Pastina is a small round pasta that is usually at more stores and are also balls of pasta. They are slightly smaller (and in the shapes of teeny tiny stars) but have the same texture and taste. If you make Pastina too far ahead of time, you have to follow the box instructions on how to unstick the pasta so you can use it in the salad.

There is an alternate recipe in the recipe card for working with Pastina.

To begin, you first mix your 2 cups of cold milk and 1 package Instant Vanilla pudding together

Refrigerate your pudding mixture for at least five minutes so it can firm up a bit.

Drain your mandarin orange juice, pineapple tidbits juice and crushed pineapple juice into a saucepan.

In the same saucepan as the juice, add 2 cups water.

Bring to a boil and stir in Acini Di Pepe Pasta.

This type of pasta is also used in Italian Wedding Soup and is a small ball of dough that is often referred to as a grape or peppercorn shape.

Heat your Acini Di Pepe Pasta according to package directions in the water and fruit juice, which is between 8-10 minutes.

Once the pasta is fully cooked, drain excess juice.

Note: I had to put a coffee filter into my colander so the pasta didnt fall through the holes. A fine mesh strainer would work best.

Now add your drained oranges, two pineapple kinds and pasta to a mixing bowl.

Stir in the chilled pudding and whipped topping.

Fold in your mini marshmallows.

Refrigerate the Frog Eye Salad with pudding for 4 hours before serving so it can firm up and thicken.

Optional: Add Shaved Coconut prior to serving

This version is also on the VIDEO in this post.

Frog eye salad is a lovely combination of pasta, pudding, and crushed fruits, making it a perfect lightly sweet summer side dish. Also called a Acini Di Pepe Pasta Salad, its a super classic and homemade dessert side dish that keeps the spoonfuls coming.

Mix 2 cups milk and 1 package pudding together and whisk well. Refrigerate for at least five minutes (the longer the better so do this step first)

Drain the juice of the oranges, tidbits and crushed pineapple (as best as you can for the crushed pineapple) into a large saucepan and set the fruit aside.

Add 2 cups water into the juice saucepan.

Bring pan to a boil and stir in Acini Di Pepe pasta. Heat according to Pasta package directions (about 10 minutes).

When Acini Di Pepe pasta is done, drain excess water and rinse pasta with cold water.

Note: I had to put a coffee filter into my colander so the pasta didn't' fall through the holes. A fine mesh strainer would work best.

Add oranges, pineapple and pasta to a large mixing bowl.

Stir in pudding and thawed whipped topping.

Fold in mini marshmallows.

Refrigerate for 4 hours before serving to allow mixture to thicken up a bit.

Alternate Frog Eye Salad using PASTINA Pasta

This step is best done first to give pudding time to thicken. Mix 2 cups milk and 1 package of INSTANT pudding together well. Put in fridge for a min of 5 minutes to thicken.

Cook 8 oz Pastina according to instructions on box. Pastina are teeny tiny pasta stars that are a great substitute for the texture of the recipe above. Once pasta is done, rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Let drain. If Pasta sticks at all, you can use 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Drain oranges, pineapple tidbits and crushed pineapple juice. Fold in whipped topping.

Combine fruit, cooked Pastina, and Instant pudding in a bowl and mix gently with a spatula. Add 2 cups mini marshmallows.

At this point, your frog eye salad may still be a little "wet".

Fridge for 4 hours to thicken before serving

NOTE: Texture of Frog Eye Salad is quite like Tapioca pudding.

4chan hackers take over city billboard to broadcast hate memes

Members of 4chan's /pol/ board, the hotbed of the alt-right, are pretty active in Britain, as the conspiracy theories around Grenfell Tower fire and the terror attack at Ariana Grande concert show.

But this time they have stepped up their game.

Hackers from /pol/ claimed responsibility on 4chan for breaking into a billboard in the heart of Cardiff's busy shopping district and using it to broadcast swastikas, images about Islam, a Big Brother message from George Orwell's 1984 and a photo of Donald Trump as alt-right meme Pepe the Frog.

Members of the channel boasted about the op in several posts, saying they'd be "broadcasting images of your choice" and inviting people to "post memes you want to be on the big screen in the thread".

As you can see, a fake declaration that the area was under Sharia Law ended up on the billboard:

South Wales Police said they received a number of calls related to the incident. "We alerted the city council and will investigate any crimes which may have been committed," a spokesman said.

The council then reached out to BlowUP Media, the company that runs the billboard, and it has since been turned off.

There’s a Telegram for People to Scream Over the Bitcoin Crash – Decrypt

With Bitcoin down 30% in the past week, some crypto traders have taken to Telegram to voice their feelings.

In the Bear Market Screaming Therapy Group on Telegram, members are only allowed to post voice notes of themselves screaming. Anything else will result in an instant ban from the group, which currently has about 75 members.

So far, more than a dozen different members have contributed to the group, posting voice notes of themselves screaming, yelling, groaning, and wailing in various pitches and rhythms.

Co-founder of NFT renting protocol Rentable World emiliano.eth shared the group Tuesday morning on Twitter, calling out the "degenerate" community, or crypto obsessives that engage in high-risk trading.

Hey degen, are you stressed? Just let it all out, he wrote, along with a link to join the group.

Matt Hussey, editorial director of NEAR Protocol (and former editor-in-chief of Decrypt) responded to the news of the Telegram group with #meIRL.

The groups featured image is of a Pepe frog yelling, often referred to as the REEEEEEE meme. Pepe the Frog was created back in 2005 by Matt Furie and has since become an internet symbol for meme culture and degen culture.

As the broader market downturn continues, yelling online has become the crypto traders latest coping mechanism after the rise of Goblintown Ethereum NFTs at the end of May and beginning of June, where holders made incoherent groaning sounds and role-played as urine-loving goblin creatures in late-night Twitter Spaces.

While some crypto traders move toward screaming as a coping mechanism, many mental health experts have argued that scream therapy is pseudoscience. Scientific research or no, it obviously feels good.

Developing social channels based on exchanging a single message isnt exactly new, of course. Back in 2014, the Yo app was launched with the sole purpose of enabling users to send each other the greeting Yo.

For crypto enthusiasts, there was the gm app, a self-described meme app which only allowed users to greet each other with gm, or good morning, a common acronym thrown around on Crypto Twitter and Discord. But the gm app was shut down back in September after a hacker reportedly gained access to user data.

With the Bear Market Screaming Therapy Group, weve now transcended language.

What is a Groyper? It’s a Combination of Nick Fuentes and Pepe the Frog

Behind Nick Fuentes, the host of America First, follows a new group of far-right conservatives. They call themselves the Groypers. And theyve launched a war against the Republican party.

Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, and Donald Trump Jr. do not seem like likely targets for a rising right-wing faction. But much to their surprise recently, the Groyper army chose events hosted by Kirk and Trump to descend upon.

Groypers attended a Turning Point USA conference at Ohio State University to heckle speakers with loaded questions. Turning Point is a conservative nonprofit that mobilizes Republican students on college campuses.

Trump, meanwhile, was booed off the stage at a free speech event at the University of California Los Angeles. The Groypers are claiming these two events, along with seven others, as victories against the mainstream Republican party, which they now consider to be fake conservatism.

A Groyper is a member of Fuentes movement of his brand of alt-right white nationalism. The alt-right is a loose collection of conservatives that harbor white nationalists. Fuentes is currently one of its most public faces.

As their chosen mascot, Groypers took hold of an exploitable illustration of Pepe the Frog. While iterations of Pepe are commonly used within the far-right, this version is of Pepe resting a conspicuous face against his two hands.

The meme appears in different forms on Groypers Twitter pages to show their allegiance.

https://twitter.com/that_groyper/status/1203275552636973059

Fuentes Twitter bio declares himself as the Groyper leader. His image header illustrates Pepe soldiers holding up a flag that states Groyper War, Total Victory!

The header also has the names of the events, primarily on college campuses, and dates of when the Groypers heckled conservative events, all claiming victory.

The Groypers galvanize around the idea that the current Republican party is fake conservatism. Basically, they try to push each conservative position farther to the right by supporting a white, male, heterosexual America. They embrace white nationalism in support of policies that, although they have foundations in conservatism, even some Republicans find too far.

The group is extreme on immigration restrictionism, often calling for a total shutdown of immigrants into America, and pushes anti-LGTBQ propaganda to continue to fight a culture wore they believe the right gave in on.

Support of Israel is one major difference between the Groypers and what they call the traditional Conservative Inc. While the Republican party remains firm in supporting its Israeli ally, the Groypers extreme nationalism and anti-Semitism pushes them outside the bounds of normal right-wing discourse.

America is NOT a propositional nation. We have NO ALLEGIANCE to Israel, Fuentes posted on his Telegram according to Vox. We are CHRISTIANS and we dont promote degeneracy. Demographic replacement is REAL and it will be CATASTROPHIC.

Fuentes is also known for casting doubt on the number of Jews that died in the Holocaust, using crude analogies relating to cookies and baking.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9aco6o5WBE

He described the above cookie comparison as his hilarious and epic Holocaust joke on his Telegram channel.

The Groypers are loyal to Fuentes and share this anti-Semitic perspective. For example, one Groyper page posted a tweet with a photo of a blimp that says jews rape kids.

your uber driver has arrived, @ayyyetone tweeted with the photo.

Fuentes, an extremely online pundit, thinks he can shape youth conservatism because hes better at catering to the internet culture that many Gen Z or Zoomer college students are inclined to consume.

I think the generational style is so important, Fuentes posted on Telegram. Idk if its post modern or post ironic but the style and tone is very native to Zoomers which is i think why ppl like Shapiro or Kirk imagine theyre check mating me with some of these controversies but in reality its just turning young ppl onto my content.

Fuentes and the Groypers primarily target the bulk of the Republican party.

In the past, they have heckled speakers like right-wing talk show host Ben Shapiro, as well as Trump Jr. and Kirk.

Their goal is to expose high-profile Republicans by asking loaded questions, often about Israel and homosexuality, to prove their distance from the extreme or true right.

There were a number of trolls who sabotaged the Q&A portion of tonights @tpusa event, Turning Points Benny Johnson tweeted following an event at Ohio State University. Many of the questions were abhorrent and were not asked in good faith.

Fuentes responded to Johnson by calling out Turning Points moderate stance. Turning Point has been scrutinized in the past for its own racist biases.

Turning Point is now making a concerted effort to slander all critics of their bullshit fake conservatism as extremist trolls,' @NickJFuentes tweeted. We are America First and you are being exposed for the sellout frauds you are.

Fuentes has been promoting the Groypers next event on Dec. 20. White nationalists Patrick Casey and Jacob Lloyd will join Fuentes in West Palm Beach for the Groyper Leadership Summit. The Groypers will also be mobilizing against Republicans again, as the event is set to overlap with another Turning Point conference.

The GLS will feature speeches by myself, Patrick Casey, and Jacob Lloydwe invite all Groypers to join us for a celebration of our Total Victory over Charlie Kirk in the Groyper Wars! Fuentes posted on his Telegram board.
