RIP Reddit
Redditors have banded together and made their respective subreddits private in order to protest decisions made by Big Reddit and many are forecasting an imminent death for the site as a result. If that’s the case, it will be a loss for culture. Though I did not frequent the site often, I understand its value. I find it overall ugly and distasteful but that does not mean it is without purpose. It is where most of the True Knowledge on the internet is stored. I will miss the internet’s equivalent of a dive bar where one can find connections to the seedy underbelly of the city. It was a part of town I’d rather not visit, but we all have our secrets and our vices. Places we go where we don’t want to be recognized. Everywhere needs a seedy place (r/bravorealhousewives) where we can make contact with unsavory individuals (gossip hounds) when it suits our needs (trying to figure out what exactly happened between Bethenny and Carol). I don’t know what the future holds but I hope we will have a place again where we can google information about drugs and get real helpful answers.
Baby Gronk rizzed up Livvy
Very shortly after I published last week’s meme report, we all became enraptured by a series of words that aren’t even in the dictionary, let alone the bible. Baby Gronk rizzed up Livvy. Many were left confused, while others simply accepted our new reality. Those words are now essential to existence on the internet. You don’t have to know what they mean. It doesn’t matter. Let the words wash over you. Let the feeling of total ignorance overtake you. When was the last time you didn’t know anything and that had no impact on you at all? In a way, it’s freeing. I love to live in the confusion of it. It’s as if a sentence could reproduce the feeling of being too high and getting scared. In that situation, the next step is always acceptance. Baby Gronk rizzed up Livvy. And why wouldn’t they? Baby Gronky Rizzed Up Livvy. And A Livvy Rizzed Up Baby Gronk to you as well. Understanding is a burden here. Acceptance of the state of the unknown is the ultimate goal. Rizz. Baby. Livvy. Gronk. Up.
Mar A Lago
The lesson we must learn over and over again with Trump is he is almost impossible to satirize. He’s funnier than anything anyone could think to say about him. The direct quotes from the indictment are funnier than the fakes, and the original pictures of the documents in the bathroom and behind the bar are funnier than any edit. It’s not 2017 anymore. We don’t have to pretend our forced jokes are better than his natural choices. We want to make memes of these images because we recognize they’re funny. This may be hard to believe, but sometimes an image is just funny and does not require our edits. We don’t need collaborative authorship on everything. Certainly not on Trump.
Texting Joe Biden
Sleeper Hit. Not particularly funny every time, but I think there’s some real potential here. It feels like it’s not reaching the right people or everyone who could do something fun with it might be over this type of post but the format is yours for the taking. We can still laugh at a Joe Biden joke now and then. We don’t do them often enough and it’s a real shame. We’ll miss him when he’s gone, mostly because we missed out on chances to make silly little jokes like this.
Grimes Tattoo
People with Tattoos love being annoying and this goes for both Grimes and the people quote-tweeting her. I’m over this whole thing. Yes, Grimes is a 35-year-old mother of 2 and still posts like a teenager just discovering atheism for the first time. That being said, too many people are taking this as an easy shot to make fun of her when she’s just being vaguely lame. This tweet feels like the calm before the storm. All it really does is remind me that we haven’t heard from Grimes in a while, which means she’s up to something. Hopefully, it’s a new album that is somewhat good and not like a book of poetry. Either way, brace yourselves.
Search Your Tweets Prompts
A new form of prompt quote tweet has taken storm. It involves searching one's own tweets for words and posting the results. I have never seen anything more reminiscent of early Facebook in my life. It is the dumbest activity in the world. It has ruined the quality of posting. Nothing is new anymore, we’re just reposting the very recent past! Boring! Yawning!
TikTok
TikTok, like Twitter, has always had a good chunk of people whose content is interesting without leaning into memes. They captivate the apps for months at a time with their star moment. A living diary, but not necessarily in an influencer sense. Maybe it’s because we’re heading into summertime, but my For You page is definitely more personality focused as of late. There are fewer trends to be seen but many more diary entries to be explored. While these creators are often under-discussed on Memeforum, I thought I would spotlight one that lets us know that summer has officially arrived. A perennial creator who blossoms in the summertime.
One of my favorite personalities brings with them an idyllic summer worth coveting. That’s right, Wishbone Kitchen has returned to her summer job as a private chef in the Hamptons. No one does a Day in The Life (or DITL) like her. Her title of “Influencer” is secondary to her real career, Chef which is refreshing. It’s nice to see a beautiful woman in a beautiful location, working 12-hour days stressed out and on her feet.

Cannon Event

This trend is inspired by the new Spiderman movie. As I understand it – and that’s the only understanding that matters – it’s an event that can’t be changed because it has to happen in every universe. So far as I’ve seen on my FYP, it’s all girl stuff. Nerd culture has more than entered the mainstream, but there has been a strict barrier between nerd culture and Girl Culture At Large (if you think otherwise, you’re lying to yourself) until now. As I’ve seen it, this trend is entirely girls cataloging situations they get into that cannot be avoided. This trend is mostly about the follies of youth. It’s about those of us who think we can outsmart the emotional pitfalls that previous generations fell victim to. Unfortunately, we all have to learn these lessons. We don’t all go through every canon event, but we all have gone into a situation thinking we are built different, only to find out we are just like everyone else. Maybe there is some value to these comic book movies after all.
Has Affected Me Mentally

Well well well. The time has come to come to terms. Have we finally had enough of people claiming their trauma made them funny? Are we all ready to admit that we can’t just silly goofy haha our way through our lives? We had a good run of making bad content and jokes on the internet about our traumas but now it's time to get better. Nose to the grindstone. Get a journal and get over it!
I feel like the get a journal people and the tattoo people are cut from the same cloth. . .
