Justin Timberlake Getting Arrested, And This Week's Other Best Memes, Ranked
Likes on X are now hidden — and the news has been better received by some than others.

Here at Digg, we try our best to cover the most important and confounding memes that come across the timeline. But the web is littered with tons of great memes that never quite hit the mainstream and instead just bounce around the weird corners of Twitter or Reddit. Enter our recurring feature, Memes, Ranked.

This week, we've got a bald Timothée Chalamet, reactions to likes on X being hidden, Walton Goggins as our collective Grandpa and Justin Timberlake getting arrested for driving drunk.


4. Bald Timothée Chalamet

The Meme

Actor Timothée Chalamet appeared on the front cover of GQ Style magazine back in 2017, and for some reason (best not to dwell on why) someone recently decided to share a photoshopped version of the photo, which then ended up becoming a meme. Turns out, editing someone famous to be bald spurs a lot of hot takes about whether said person is still attractive, can pull off a bald head or could possibly play a young Professor X in Marvel's "X-Men" reboot.

Examples


Jared Russo



3. X likes made private

The Meme

As of June 12, all X users' likes are private. That's right: from now on (or at least until Elon Musk decides to change it back), you can like all the weird posts your heart desires, safe in the knowledge that they'll be hidden from everyone else on the app.

While the change has been welcomed by many, there are a whole bunch of people on the platform who were devastated that their liked tweets would now go unseen by those they'd carefully curated them for (and that they can't see what — or who — their crush is liking, either).

2. Papaw Goggins

The Meme

Did you have a grandfather with a bunch of flaws and quirks that you see in yourself? Good news, this meme is made for you. Our "Papaw" didn't look much like Walton Goggins, however, but we'll let that slide.

Most of these memes are lighthearted memories of a beloved grandparent — silly and sweet. Unfortunately, we had to dodge a shocking number of people on TikTok who felt that this was an opportunity to tell on themselves about how they agree with their grandfather's retrograde beliefs. That's a huge yikes, but the examples compiled below aren't of the hateful variety.

1. Justin Timberlake gets arrested

The Meme

On Tuesday, Justin Timberlake was arrested for driving while intoxicated in the Hamptons in New York. Sag Harbor village police said the pop singer ran a stop sign, strayed out of his traffic lane and was pulled over by an officer who found him to be "in an intoxicated condition."

Some people dislike Timberlake due to his alleged poor treatment of Britney Spears, some due to the Janet Jackson "Nipplegate" incident and some just because he's cringe. But whichever category a person falls into, seemingly everyone is getting in on joking about the star's latest controversy.

There might be a handful of people out there feeling bad for Timberlake right now, but remember: drunk driving is an unbelievably stupid and selfish thing to do, and the very least you deserve if you do it is getting made fun of.
