The Week in Memes – Finger Pointing Edition of TWIM

Another week whizzes by and boom, just like that we’re halfway through the year. But here you are and boy, we’re glad to see you. It means we’re survivors of yet another week of crazy, fun absurdity known as life in America in 2026.

So let’s review the last Week in Memes, shall we?

Apparently at a WNBA game a player pointed scoldingly at something. Honestly, I have no idea what this is about and if you’re being honest with yourself you don’t either since you don’t watch the WNBA either.

But that clip went viral. Then the memes happened. And then we all laughed.

OK, I did a bit of digging, here’s the backstory if you’re interested. Her name is Sophie Cunningham.

Subtle AI meme.

Guess who else got into the meme?

OK, there’s a bunch of Soccer memes, but Cranky don’t play that noise. So we’ll move on the phone Reflecting Pool crisis that is entering its second week.

At least the discussion turned to positive uses for the pool.

Grab Bag!

As a software developer by day, this is very true.

Summertime!

Alright! That’s a wrap. We’ll catch you on the July 4th weekend up next!

    Hey Gordon! I hope you’re having a great weekend. Even though I’m a huge sports fan,I really don’t follow the WNBA. All I know about the season so far is that Caitlyn Clark almost got her larynx crushed and this hilarious finger pointing,fierce side eye turned killer stare by Sophie Cunningham moment. I played basketball and I had a few rivalry moments like that with players I didn’t like. She’s now having fun taking selfies with fans recreating her signature point that has set off a flood of great memes. You put some fun ones in here. The Scott Presler meme is my favorite. Can you believe how he was treated by the South Dakota GOP and John Thune? Disgusting. Yay! Marco is back from his time off. I knew he would be eventually. The Reflecting Pool story has just become bizarre. News outlets testing the water,pulling up pieces of the paint like ABC’s Jonathan Karl. Where is it going go next? I say make it a big ball pit like Chuck E Cheese. We all know they aren’t going to give Trump a win on this one. Loving the Grab Bag! I am not looking forward to this coming week. It’s going to be brutal.You could take few running steps and burst into flames. No matter what grocery store I go to ,I always get the cart with the dancing wheel. Look out for those flightless birds. Emus can be really mean. Your TWIM always makes my weekend. I hope you are having some great rides out on your bike. Thanks Gordon!

      Now this is an idea I can get behind and will receive bi-partisan support! Genius.

      I’m just about to head out on a ride. Thank you, Lynne!
