Whether you are a diehard NASCAR fan or just a curious bystander, there is definitely plenty to see at this year's Daytona 500, even surprise celebrity appearances and speeches. Though the race is finishing up today, for now we have some of the best highlights from day one. And if you want to check out even more sports memes, look no further.

The virtual world was stormed by unexpected silence, when an angry ex-Twitter employee hacked and deactivated Donald Trump's Twitter account as his departing act (or gift?). Naturally, rumors ran wild over who might've done such a thing; but DJ Trump himself decided to finally break his silence on the matter, and smoothly segue from there into nothing short of a tweet storm to compensate for the momentary silence on his end.
Another week, another shitposting trend. Everyone's favorite Christmas tradition is now part of the latest fad. Starting last week, people on Twitter and Reddit have been creating memes with the text "You've heard of elf on the shelf, now get ready for" accompanied by an image of another rhyming situation. Nintendo characters have been especially popular: think photos like Link in a sink, Waluigi on a squeegee, Princess Peach on a beach.
Because the format is so simple (and many would argue, stupid) these rhyming memes have spread like wildfire. Here are some of our favorites.
We love a good Twitter meme, and folks are bringing the fun with this Halloween-themed meme format. Users are pairing both likely and unlikely combinations, and making jokes about everything from Star Wars. to animal rights and politics. Here are some of our favorites - and some of the most wrong.
For today's Throwback Thursday meme spotlight we're looking at a meme that became popular back in 2015. Twitter user @lanyardigan posted a photo of a raccoon cradling a cat (sadly, photoshopped) with the caption "Please. My wife. She's very sick." The amusing photo DOES make it look like the raccoon is seeking medical attention for the cat.
Since the tweet was posted, people have been making memes in the same style, featuring a variety of animals, Donald Trump, and one of our #1 meme subjects - Guy Fieri. Here's a selection of our favorites.
Our friend Kanye West is in the news more than ever right now. He performed his infamous new song "I Love it" on Saturday Night Live over the weekend with Lil Pump wearing a Perrier bottle costume, and wore a MAGA hat while giving a pro-Trump speech that didn't actually make it on air. Since then, people have been meme-ing Kanye to absolute heck.
As a meme page we like to avoid politics whenever necessary, but some memes just need to be documented. Last night's #SOTU address had several meme-y moments, from bullied Joshua Trump's nap to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's refusal to clap. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi did not share that sleepiness or reservation. Instead, her pointed clapping during one moment of President Trump's speech has been hailed as a clapback and has swiftly become a meme that hilariously eclipses politics. We're not sure if she was actively trying to throw shade at POTUS, but we are sure that this moment in meme history will not be forgotten.
Trump went in on Baldwin this morning, in what shows all appearances of a livid, typo-riddled rant of nonsensical insanity. Naturally, Baldwin (ever even-keeled....) clapped back with his own barrage of roasts. Don't let these two hot heads ever cross paths, man.
