Weekend Meme Roundup: Radical Left Speedrunning, Alec Baldwin Shooting, 'Island Boy' Freestyle

Welcome to the Weekend Meme Roundup, where all of the biggest memes of the weekend are rounded up in one place and examined more closely. This past weekend was a mix of political intrigue with a dash of Florida power. There was the absolute hot take of Why So Many in the Radical Left Participate in Speedrunning from Twitter, Alec Baldwin's accidental shooting for real-world tragedy and the 'Island Boy' freestyle by FlyySoulja and Kodiyakredd for a splash of lightheartedness.

Alec Baldwin Accidental Shooting

Alec Baldwin accidental shooting of Halyna Hutchins refers to the tragic event in which the actor had a supposed prop weapon discharge while on the set of the movie Rust, causing Halyna Hutchins to lose her life and Joel Souza to become injured. The event was quickly met with memes and jokes at Baldwin's expense, as he has been a very vocal anti-gun activist for several years, with direct tweets referring to accidental shootings and not shooting people. As people looked deeper into the details of the movie production and the circumstances that caused the shooting, pity for everyone involved started to decline even further.

Why So Many in the Radical Left Participate in Speedrunning

Why So Many in the Radical Left Participate in Speedrunning is a bizarre hot take given to Twitter via @Bronzeswords. He goes on to explain how Leftism is obsessed with doing things for the quickest, least effort result, and that speedrunning is the peak form of that online. This is just the tip of the iceberg, as the take continues to spice things up by claiming that the fastest record for Mario is akin to the sexual revolution, thanks to "Petersonian" logic.

Island Boy by Flyysoulja and Kodiyakredd

Island Boy Freestyle by Flyysoulja and Kodiyakredd refers to the viral freestyle video and audio of South Florida-based musical talents Flyysoulja and Kodiyakredd. The epitome of the absolute state of Florida men, the viral video went wild online, with just as many trashing it for the visuals and hard-to-understand words as those praising it for its uniqueness and catchy nature.
