One time Bob Ueker waved at me from the back of a golf cart and that's as close to cool as I'll ever be

Quiet, Piggy.
Miss Piggy (the Muppet) sits cross-legged in front of a black-and-gold backdrop. She is dressed in a green velvet-ish dress and a fancy diamond necklace. A speech bubble to her left says "I don't do quiet."

If you see this, quote post with your favorite Pokémon (Wrong answers only).
The demon Machida from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Reptile Boy. He is standing menacingly in front of a black background, arms akimbo, with his weirdly circular mouth open, displaying pointed teeth. His skin is patterned with scales and his eyes appear red.

This is now canon in my mind, word for word how this went down.
An image of swimsuit-clad Star Trek: Deep Space Nine characters Jadzia Dax and Arandis snuggling and playing with a large lump of clay, with the following imagined conversation below it, penned by user Vasquez-rocks: network suits: okay guys, you got your gay episode last season. we want to see dax being heterosexual in s5. any questions? robert hewitt wolfe, taking a long drag on an enormous blunt: what if she does erotic pottery with the woman who fucked her to death in her last life. is that allowed suits: what wolfe: the woman who fucked curzon to death is played by vanessa williams suits: wolfe: it's set on the swimsuit planet

For those who wail "this just isn't who we are as a nation," I present as contrary evidence this racist newspaper clipping from the 1990s, in which Ms Sandy Gajewski of Marathon, Wisconsin, lamented the existence of Hmong refugees in Wausau.

Penultimate paragraph even mentions pet-eating.
I also think the social services office in Wausau could use a change of command. I went to social services for a little help. That's why I get very little help. I was told they had matching funds for the low in-come people, starting on or about the 15th of May. I applied two weeks later and the funds had already been wiped out. Well, we all can imagine who got the funds. Not only do the Hmongs get free food stamps, free medical, and the kids they produce must hatch every nine weeks, not nine months. They also get free rent. Boy, I wish my Indian friends and white people could pull off a deal like all they get away with. When you're on food stamps the maximum assets on hand are $2,000. But one Hmong just got robbed of $5,000 in the basement. It supposedly belonged to someone else. I think social services should do some closer checking into what "Mama" San and "Papa" San have stashed away. And where do they get the dough to buy the big fancy vans to handle the population explosion around? And you poor taxpayers pay and pay to build bigger schools to fit more Hmongs. I also get literally sick to my stomach when I see them taking up all the space in social service offices. I asked to have the Hmong signs in the social services building taken down, or else all Indian signs, Hungarian, German or whatever. My request was denied. I was told there are so many of them, they need directions. Well, so do the rest of the nationalities. Also good people of Wausau, if you have a dog you love, keep him on a good leash. The Hmong people tried three times to have mine for lunch. So hang on tight to your doggie friends. Lots of ducks missing on Oak Island too. I sure am glad I moved away from Hmongville. But something should be done to clean them out of Wausau, so us folks can pick up a few scraps. And guess who's first in line at the free food distribution. There's nothing left for the poor folks. A big shakeup in Wausau is long overdue.

The Republic is collapsing but I'm out on a warm-but-breezy day, swinging in a hammock chair, reading a book and listening to the hum of lawn mowers, traffic, and kids playing.

Which is to say, not EVERYTHING is garbage. Lots of things are, but we've still got *gestures vaguely* this.
A mediocre picture taken in someone's front yard. There's a large silver maple, which has vomited whirlybird seeds onto the lawn. Next to the sidewalk is a little free library, which is still just painted primer white because the photographer, who is the LFL's steward, is very lazy. You can also see the two-lane-plus-bike-lanes street and a small, white house across the street.

Me in the national security team group chat
The character Neelix from the TV show Star Trek: Voyager, an alien with bushy red eyebrows, spots on his temples, and a lumpy nose. He is wearing a red textured shirt, plus a kitchen apron and chef's hat, both made from yellow fabric with purple and turquoise geometric shapes. He is standing in front of kitchen equipment looking at the camera, obviously making some kind of video. The visual quality is purposely lowered to show that this is a home-made video.

The women who raised me.
Dana Scully from the X Files standing in a hallway, wearing a red suit jacket and a serious expression. Buffy Summers from Buffy the Vampire Slayer wearing light colored pants and a black zip hoodie. She stands sideways, head turned facing the camera, wearing a serious expression. In one hand she wields a large hammer, in the other a curved bladed weapon. General Leia Organa, in a blue top with her hair swept up, standing in front of equipment and people, a faint smile on her face. A serious-faced Captain Kathryn Janeway wearing her standard black and red Starfleet uniform and combadge, in front of an LCARS display

The number of summer hours I spent as a kid passively overhearing Bob Uecker's voice on the radio is MANY. I still hear ball/strike counts in his voice in my head.

He once waved to me from the back of a golf cart at a spring training game. Even as a grown-ass adult, I was excited.

RIP to a great.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.
Star Trek's Captain Benjamin Sisko raises a glass to the camera with a serious expression on his face. Bottom text reads "people have said that anyone celebrating the death of a CEO have no compassion or soul. And I can learn to live with it."

I've read it two times THAT I TOLD YOU ABOUT, @thestorygraph.com. the actual number of times I've read it is... unknown, even to me.

I've purchased it twice (ADHD tax at least going to @emilymandel.bsky.social via my local bookstore) and checked it out from the library at least once.

📚💙

My attempt at some mindless comeback knitting after a year-long slump: Zauberball in linen stitch. 🧶
Striped yellow, green, yellow, and red yarn knit in linen stitch, creating a solid, flat fabric that, in places, has a tv-static-like color pattern.

Worf says just say no to excessive advertising emails. Good day to die? Meh. Good day to smash that unsubscribe button? Yup.
Extremely low-effort meme depicting Star Trek character Worf captaining a ship during a battle. Text reads "perhaps today is a good day to unsubscribe from marketing emails."
