2024: End of Year in Memelanche Review

What a wild trip round the sun!

Holy moly cannoli, what a crazy ride this year has been! We had it all: eclipses, assassinations, elections, UFOs, exploding pagers, coups, Diddy, devastating hurricanes, a dead Rothschild, a six-digit Bitcoin, and so much more, along with a general rebranding of politics and movements, the dewokification of America, and the move to make this country healthy again. Speaking of which, on a personal note, my own journey of being diagnosed with cancer, flipping conventional standard of care off, and healing from cancer, all within one year! Whew! 2024, don’t let the doorknob hit ya where the good lord split ya!

My Substack algorithm indicates that my End of Year in Memelanche Review posts are pretty popular, and I don’t know how much anybody has been anticipating this gluttonous memes post, but I must offer a sad admission: I’ve spent over 100 accumulative hours compiling, organizing, reformatting, and uploading memes. Your girl is spent. So, if you’ve been expecting this, strap in.

This post will be entirely too long for email, so you might have to view it online or in the app. But I suggest using your computer because I pained greatly to format for best viewing pleasure. I will do my best to section it off with appropriate subheaders so you can go in and out as you choose. I beg you, avoid meme-binging. Even a good thing can be poisonous in excess. But if you’re looking to gorge yourself, well…

So, you know what to do…

Don’t know about you guys, but the year, for me, started pretty idealistic…

…only to end up challenging all my life choices.

Trigger Warning: some of these memes are NSFW. If you’re offended by certain words, don’t go any further. Filter being lifted in 3…

…2…

…1…

Blast off!

A collection of fucks

Now that we have broken the digital meme cherry - let’s dig in, shall we?

January

2024 seemed like it was going to be alright at first.

But it wasn’t long before the BS started to rear its stinky head.

You started kicking yourself for thinking this year was going to be different.

And before long, you were back on your

Conspirashit:

You find yourself constantly derailing conversations.

And I really do try to explain it in a way that would be understood.

But oftentimes, a proper conspiracy theorist is met with derision, disbelief, and distrust.

And no amount of the obvious helps.

Yet you are compelled to keep trying!

Because you remember that not too long ago, you, too, were a normie plugged into the Matrix and required a nudge to wake you up. And yes, sometimes those nudges aren’t very nice as they shake your cognitive dissonance and square up your beliefs. Sometimes, they mock and deride.

And sometimes you offer genuine advice or the wise words of others that came before: the world has always been full of dark conspiracies, people who have refused to believe in them, and people who have seen through the bullshit.

We can only hope that all NPCs grab hold of their own storylines, and in the meantime, we’ll keep providing those swift kicks in the rear. The memes will continue until main character syndrome is achieved.

But silence really isn’t an option.

And to be honest, no better time to speak up than now, since the track record for conspiracies has never been higher.

Now, some may ask, how big of a conspiracy theorist are you? Well…

Generally, it’s high fun to try and decipher the nature of reality, lift the veil of illusion, and find camaraderie among others who do the same.

Normal is for the birds.

It’s a constant reminder that you can withstand the tide of times.

No matter what you get exposed to.

After all, it helps you get prepared.

And sure, we can get pretty stupid…

But there’s a tinge of truth in it all, no?

So whether it’s the Epstein rabbit hole…

Or the government…

…through the surveillance and censorship…

It’s important to remember one thing:

And that even dumb conspiracies can lead you to certain epiphanies.

And while we’re here, why not take a look at how obtuse our government can be? After all, this memelanche is just beginning.

Government

While most of the governmental functions are dumb as hell…

…there are some truly awful ones too.

…funded by the labour of our own energy via taxation…

And boy, do some of us learn that lesson early.

But Governments take it to a whole new level! And for what?

War?!?

Please, ain’t nobody got time for this shit.

Besides, it’s terribly asymmetrical…

…and futile.

But Americans be flexing around the world. Declaring war on all sorts of elusive enemies with various degrees of invisibility such as the war on terror, the war on viruses…

But let’s face it: our reality is so twisted, how much worse can it possibly get with the occasional use of recreational

Drugs

And don’t you get judgy…

You’d be surprised how innovative someone can get with the help of some mind-bending substance.

But stoned or sober, my stance on government remains:

What is the alternative, you ask?

Anarchy

My dear friends, I’m not into labels these days, but ‘collaborative anarchist’ I welcome with open arms.

There are some folks out there definitely ding their part within the paradigm that exists.

Being an anarchist is easier than you think. Start small. Just think about it. Deeply.

Because you must be as tired as I am from all the tomfoolery and shenanigans. Every time the heat gets turned up, there is some new current thing that overtakes the mental space.

Or some fallen icon who ends up being the sacrificial goat that peels eyeballs away from some globalist failure.

But compared to the rest of the months, January was pretty chill.

So, let’s move on to

February

The month is known for being the shortest all the while cramming Black History Month in schools across America, and for Valentine’s Day and Groundhog Day.

This February, we saw the fall of grace of Fani “Gimme a G” Willis.

And we said goodbye to a globalist.

Globalists

Oh, you know, those silly Malthusian-loving psychopaths that so zealously decide the future for the rest of humanity while exhibiting illusions of grandeur and complete lack of awareness of their own folly.

Let’s rag on them for a bit, shall we?

Because they do pose a very real threat.

And they know exactly how to get us worked up against one another so we don’t notice them.

But some of us notice anyway.

To tip the scales in their favour, they might employ the

Media

And not just legacy media, but social media too…

Although, admittedly, social media can be fun once in a while.

Even if it’s formulaic

And induces Dorothy level commentary.

We’re onto the propaganda levers…

…and respond with more dank memes.

To meme or not to meme? Is there even a question?

With spring around the corner, events started coming at us pretty fast. It was a pretty head-spinning

March

It began with warmonger Nuland stepping down.

Boeing started having some major issues,

and we had some bridge collapses which, to be honest, were pretty indicative of our state of affairs,

(For the record, I’m certainly not offering solutions here, I can certainly disparage other isms just as well.)

then, the Royals dominated the airwaves and digital real estate for awhile,

followed up by Diddy stealing the crown with his Epsteinesque schema.

A rare glimpse of the public inside how pop culture and the shadow government are enmeshed and since we’re here, let’s do a few memes on

Entertainment:

Some of these might require a bit of prior context but I’m sure that wouldn’t be a problem for any Gen Xer.

Generations

Even though I’m perfectly aware of the ol’ divide and conquer employed by the globalists, the generation compartmentalization tends to appeal to me; it’s the right sort of flattery for Gen X, specifically. I mean, we are the coolest generation, there’s no sense fighting it.

Each generation has its thing, of course.

We would all do better to take note that time is fleeting.

It’s just that certain generations do better with the tide of times. Take the wokification of America, for example. Gen X wants to be left alone, wants anyone to have the right to be left alone, yes, even trans folk, but once you force them to add pronouns in their bylines, they’ll blink deadpan once or twice, and now you have the most adaptable people on this planet spending too much time talking about other people’s junk. They’ll start looking deeper into the issue, researching how .01% of the human species might have the mental health condition referred to as gender dysphoria and how the last time we tried fixing a mental issue with surgery was in the 50s with a little procedure called lobotomy, and wondering does no one remember how well that turned out?

But listen, let trans folk do their thing. There is no hate coming from me. But let’s recognize that being trans (within its own definition, a word that means non-permanent) is not an immutable characteristic. And if you’re asking for special treatment based on a quality that anyone can utilize and exploit for their own, perhaps we should sit down at the table and figure this shit out instead of screaming past each other.

Wokeness

Anyone can dress and behave however they like as long as it isn’t harming anyone, but demanding that people accept you as you wish to be accepted has to come with the understanding that your identity is a negotiation between you and society. Having said all that, let’s poke the hornet’s nest a bit.

And just so women don’t feel left out, let’s have feminism take a seat too.

See, it’s not that I’m a woman and still find these funny in an ingratiating way. It’s just that I’m a Gen Xer, and this genuinely tickles my funny bone. So does this:

I also refused to eat land animals for ten years, but I find memes about vegetarians objectively funny.

We don’t have to be so sensitive and we certainly can discuss issues without making someone else responsible for our feelings.

Let’s see, who haven’t we offended yet?

Let’s dewokify everything. Funnier when you can freely offend everyone.

If you need any more convincing, check out what AI is spitting out and you might start to see the problem here.

And since we’re on the subject of AI, I would be remiss not to drop some savage memes about tech. Love it or hate it…

Tech

…is here to stay.

There are some serious implications, I know.

But you must admit that you’re secretly frustrated about having to log in and out of all the things and remember all the passwords…

It’s enough to swear off technology and run to the hills.

But ironically, where else can you get the robot sex memes?

Too crude? Ok, fine, then, memes about human dating, courting and

Relationships:

My own dating preferences lean towards the conspiracy types, which, I suppose, is apropos.

And this random one for good measure to transition into our next theme:

Animals:

I’ll start with cats because even if you’re not a cat person, you can relate to these:

Dogs:

Birds:

Horses:

Other undomesticated animals:

Extinct animals:

And mythical creatures:

But let’s return to our chronological sequence for the time being and see what happened in

April

As far as holidays, outside of the occasional Easter and April Fool’s, the month is pretty quiet.

But 2024 also had the eclipse and it simply has to make our list of notable happenings!

What did ramp up this year, however, was politics. It was, after all, an election year. I’ll ease into it all, but just so no one misunderstands, I do not subscribe to any political affiliation. I was certain that the Dems were going to lose, well, because they deserved to lose, but the Reps also had the whiff of winning about them, ya know? Either way, I consider it all theatre so here’s a bunch of memes about

Politics

Who said politics isn’t funny?!?

Somehow I think we all know how all this overreach, propaganda, and manipulation ends.

Since 2024 was, indeed, an election year, I’ll save more ghastly memes to pepper throughout, but for now, let’s move on to

May

In which the Republicans gloated over the dismissal of the court case arguing the electability of Trump and the Democrats had to deal with folks rubbing TDS in their face.

He might have had some wins, but Trump also had some personal tragedies.

RFK Jr was still looking pretty good in the polls,

Across the pond, the Royals were determined to convince everyone they tangoed with Satan,

And the rest of us…well…

Alright, then.

June

It was the quiet before the storm. The Hawktuah Girl entered the game

(she also had a terrible exit, but we’ll save that for December) and Assange was released (making everyone wonder what kind of Faustian Deal he had to make)

I thought

But in addition to dealing with medical issues and financial suffocation, I had my TikTok account banned for being a conspiracy theorist.

June was heating up!

The end of the month brought us the presidential debates between Biden and Trump and things moved really fast from there. But let’s take a moment for Biden here and all the blue voters who finally caught up with the fact that their chosen pony was a senile septuagenarian whose failing state couldn’t be propped up by a lying cabinet and media any longer.

Also, it was getting silly because the nation wasn’t sure which Biden they were looking at while some didn’t want to believe there might have been lied to for years.

By the time

July

rolled around, even with the 4th’s BBQs and fire works

there were too many mistakes to be overlooked,

but one event that catapulted Trump upwards and sealed Biden’s fate. The attempted

Assassination

And let’s not forget the terrific excuses. Are we not entertained?!?

By the end of that month, Biden’s goose was cooked

And just like that, the world shifted to

Kamala

and we slipped into

August

While people were watching the Olympics,

your girl was quietly healing from cancer, which turned out to be a roller coaster ride of a journey, especially since I turned away from conventional medicine. So we’re about to take a slight detour into memeland of

Personal Transcendence

I am not used to being the center of attention.

My mental and spiritual space were constantly tested.

I am prone to overthinking…

A bit of self-depreciation…

…which I try to cover up with a healthy dose of sarcasm and projection.

But the truth is, I think I’m just a bit of an odd ball.

And that is why I will slide a few memes in here that are on the side of

Woo Woo

In no particular order:

You can also use your weird as a metric, btw…

Friendship

The older you get, the harder it is to make friends, but the ones that you have stuck around through thick and thin are cherished.

The ones that fall through the cracks can be left behind.

And even with the bestest of friends and with the bestest of intentions, sometimes, I would feel like I just wanted to

Tune Out

I would wake up in the

Morning

ready to tackle the day

I’d spend the day juggling various tactics for

Coping

I spent lots of hours contemplating

Death

You realize it’s all about perspective…

try not to let the little big things get you

Annoyed

All the while maintaining your responsibility and sanity while

Parenting

and thinking about

The End of the World

and any other random thing that pops into your head while trying to go to

Sleep

You remember life before,

you remind yourself not everything has a happy ending

and yet, you try hard to

Evolve

Since I was a tad busy dealing with cancer, I missed out on going to Bulgaria for the summer with the fam, so as a consolation prize, I got these memes instead:

The Balkans

Now, as if the Universe was testing me, it sent me cancer to try and see if I’d run scared to Big Pharma, but my distaste for the narcissists in white coats and the poisons they peddle only grew. It started out with the covid BS

and the likes of

Gates and Fauci

The world went stupid with

Masks

and then

Vaxes

Even more difficult than healing cancer was navigating the world of our

Healthcare

If I’m being honest, my only slight excitement is that with the new administration,

there would be more awareness about cleaning up our medicine, air, water, and

Food

We also saw the rise of Ozempic injections,

the loss of credibility in scientists,

and science altogether.

My personal relationship with experts hit a new time low.

And I became an evangelist about taking your health into your own hands and not relying on regulators to do the research for you.

And since we’re on the subject, for god measure, let’s do some memes about

Climate Change

Moving on!

Since I’m on the other side of the cancer hump and feeling freakin’ great, I am going to spend 2025 crawling out of crushing medical debt (insurance covers alternative therapies even less than conventional ones!) so here’s to me hoping I win the lottery next year.

In the meantime, I’ll keep this here Substack going for anyone who finds value in it. It might not seem like it by this post full of memes, but I actually love expressing myself through writing. I even have a big stash of memes about it usually only saved for the eyes of my Writer’s Club friends, but what the hey, I’ll share them with you here too.

Writing

Everyone loves some good

Puns, dad jokes, and play on words

Anyway, as busy as I’ve been through my personal journey this year, I am truly stunned how many memes I have managed to stash. What on earth is wrong with me?

Trying to escape the Matrix, but in truth…

What helps is a little

Philosophy

And, for the less jaded of us, just a sprinkle of memes that

Inspire

All these retrospectives can lead us into autumn

and the month of

September

With school in full swing, I began substitute teaching which I wrote about along with a bunch of memes on

Education

but since then, I’ve compiled even more memes, so here ya go:

This month, saw Apple, Inc. kept shoving new iPhones down people’s throats,

pagers exploded in the pants of some unfortunate Middle Easterners,

9/11 circulated the usual conspiracy theory memes,

Hurricane Milton threatened to wipe out some more Americans,

but the most explosive story as the elections were drawing nearer was

They’re Eating the Cats, They’re Eating the Dogs

The Republicans

found themselves seizing the electoral moment and capitalizing on the multiple failed assassinations. The were amassing major momentum with the likes of Tulsi, Kennedy, Musk, Vivek and the rest joining Trump’s train. The rest of us were hoping they weren’t just cutting off the nose to spite the face, but it was what it was.

The “Dream Team” was assembled.

But let’s face it, the momentum was the obvious outcome after the Dems’ colossal failure. You could also tell by the photo ops.

The Democrats

were a bit too easy to mock

and the last full month before the election dawned upon us.

October

Musk landed his phallic rocket

And Yellen had this hilarious moment

which is prompting me to dump all my memes about

Money

It’s been a bit futile explaining the fall of the currency to normal people.

In the end, most of the air in the room was sucked out by the political fake wrestling between members of what we can now call

The Uniparty

If you’re glutton for punishment, there are many Uniparty memes in this post from earlier this year:

The Republicans’ momentum continued to soar with some working-class peddling

and the untimely death of Peanut, the Squirrel.

We were spent!

Finally

November

and the day of the long-awaited contest arrived.

Post Election

The Reps gloated, the Dems sulked, created safe spaces, and vowed never to have sex again.

But those who know, know.

Either way, queue in some

DTS

Echoing the fakery was this nonsense:

My birthday rolled around, and I received a few memes as gifts!

Thanksgiving came either way and I’m sure, for most families, it was bound to be lit! The nation kept doing what it does. Crank out some memes!

But instead of pardoning turkeys, Biden started the biggest pardoning in history.

But we were glad to be in the holiday spirit as the final month of the year (and the end of this Everest size mountain of memes draws to a close.

December

Dear friends, if you have made it all the way here, I salute you! Let’s wrap this up in a nice little bow, shall we? In a way, December was the craziest. Not only because it was the holiday season and you had a million personal things on your plate. But because crazy things kept happening! So, before we get into all that, let’s take stock of our

Current Reality (fake and authentic)

But hey, Christmas is coming!

And real quickly on the

The Void

There were two main competing stories in December, but there were a few explosive short-lived ones too. There was the coup in Syria,

the post-election friction,

Bitcoin hitting 100K,

(and laser eyes all over the world went ape shit)

and let me put on my surprise face, the Hawktuah Girl rugpulled e’rebody:

But the main fare was the assassination of Healthcare CEO Brian Thomson

and the UFOs.

And then, just like that, it was

Christmas

Then came the week between Christmas and today, New Years Eve, when nothing used to happen, nothing is supposed to happen, but we managed to squeeze in a skirmish on Twitter

which is a good segway for my small collection of

Venn Memes

Finally, it is the end of 2024!

I wish I could say it’s the end of my crazy year, but…

And you might think this is the end of the memelanche…

I don’t usually complain all that much (because no one likes complainers)

I am an apocalyptomist, after all.

So, to my readers, have a great new year and thanks you for being a part of my journey! I cherish you so much!
