Giant yellow wooden fish with a wide staring eye propped against a bedroom wall, a fittingly odd pick for late night memes

It is the middle of October and I am still sleeping with a fan on, which feels like a lie I’m telling the calendar. Every year I pull out the good hoodie early, and every year I end up sweating through it at a pumpkin patch. The Nightcap is a fresh round of late night memes every evening, and Thursday’s Nightcap is still up if you need a warmup. Here’s tonight’s.

Late night memes for a warm October Saturday

My plan is to stay up too late scrolling and then act shocked when I’m tired tomorrow. If you’re doing the same, grab some fall memes for a season that still hasn’t fully shown up, or save the can’t sleep memes for when it’s 2am and you’re still here. The Morning Commute brings more memes of the day first thing tomorrow, and the Nightcap is back tomorrow night. If something in here got you, send it to the friend who keeps swearing they’re going to bed soon.
