Hey friends! Hope you’re enjoying your Memorial day weekend. Yours truly took the day off yesterday to run errands and start working on a home project. If you are an optimist, this is your second Saturday, so it all works out. If this is you’re more of a pessimist, then this is your first Sunday, so apologies.

Memes are often great to find hilarity and release from the grim things that happen in the world. This week’s main course, for example.

There was a shooting at the White House just yesterday. Thankfully, only the shooter was killed and no one else.

NBC reporter Julie Terskin, caught in the moment of confusion, asked “what’s this”.

And then the memes happened, because of course.

My friend Shaughn made this gem.

We’re glad that she’s OK and such a good sport about it, as the Boss notes.

As with every shooting, if the shooter is right-wing then it’s about extremism, racism, etc. If it’s from the left, then it’s the guns.

If you’re terminally online or follow Twitter drama, you might enjoy the following. If it’s too much inside baseball, you may scroll down.

The backstory is there was a big ol’ Twitter fight between Gen X and Gen Z on $28 food and not using DoorDash if you can’t afford it. On one side were Zoomers who felt entitled to DoorDash and it’s an indictment of the system that it costs so much.

It started out with Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary making a statement that Gen-Z should stop paying $28 for a DoorDash delivered lunch if they are living on a tight budget.

Then a Twitter account posted this uncomfortable but common sense truth.

Finally, the Queen of Bad-Take Journalism, Taylor Lorenz weighed in.

These arguments are an appeal to emotions that pose an almost completely non-existent case. In this case there is a double amputee, blind minority of color who works three jobs and when she gets home, she is FORCED to use DoorDash because who has time to cook or stop at the Taco Bell drive thru on the way home from work.

Let’s get to the good stuff.

Moving on, this week also saw the final gasp of Colbert’s late-night MSNBC show. Sure it aired on CBS and was billed as comedy, but it was just Rachel Maddow with live audience – only less funny.

They didn’t even hide it.

You’d think it was Johnny Carson’s farewell the way the media and fanboys wept, wailed and gnashed teeth. But as with so much that goes on, if Trump is against something, you must be reflectively for it. Late night shows were supposed to be something you watched to unwind before turning in for the night. Colbert was a little Two Minutes Hate so you could go to be outraged.

With that, we wish Colbert a fond farewell.

We’re only going to post one meme, but it’s a significant one.

Tulsi Gabbard is stepping down as Director of National Intelligence to care for her husband who was diagnosed with cancer. Prayers up for Tulsi and Abraham.

But since another Administration position opened up. Here’s your Mandatory Marco Meme.

Thanks for tuning it. Fire up that grill and cook some meet and while you’re at it, take a moment to thank the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep America safe and free.

Until next week.
