Petscop
Notice: this entry is a [WIP]. If you feel like you can help please feel free to request an editorship
About

In-game, the player character must collect pets from their cages at the Gift Plane. However, after inputting a cheat code, the game begins to show a completely different side of itself. The game is being recorded on a Youtube channel of the same name by an unnamed narrator and commentator, given the fan-name “Paul”, as he gives his findings on the game. The channel received notoriety for its similarities to the Ben DrownedARG, though with an original creation rather than basing itself off of an existing property.

In the video, the narrator, “Paul”, plays through an obscure Playstation 1 game he found called Petscop, developed by Garalina. However, after putting in a cheat code from a note accompanying the game, the player character is teleported into a dark void with a grassy floor. Within 2 months, the video received almost 150,000 views.

Kooks Burrito Controversy
Overview
The Kooks Burrito Controversy refers to a backlash against the owners of the Kooks Burrito food cart in Portland, Oregon, who closed their business after being accused of cultural appropriation for starting a Mexican food cart as white women in late May 2017.
Background
On May 16th, 2017, the Willamette Week[1] published an interview with Kali Wilgus and Liz Connelly, the owners of Kooks Burrito food cart launched in Southeast Portland, Oregon.
“I picked the brains of every tortilla lady there in the worst broken Spanish ever, and they showed me a little of what they did. They told us the basic ingredients, and we saw them moving and stretching the dough similar to how pizza makers do before rolling it out with rolling pins. They wouldn’t tell us too much about technique, but we were peeking into the windows of every kitchen, totally fascinated by how easy they made it look. We learned quickly it isn’t quite that easy.”
On May 19th, the food cart closed after many accused the owners of “cultural appropriation.”
Developments
On May 22nd, The Portland Mercury[2] published an article titled “This Week in Appropriation: Kooks Burritos and Willamette Week,” which accused Wilgus and Connely of “cultural appropriation” for being white and starting a Mexican food cart.
“This week in white nonsense, two white women--Kali Wilgus and Liz “LC” Connely--decided it would be cute to open a food truck after a fateful excursion to Mexico.”
That day, the article was submitted to /r/Portland,[3] where the top comment referred to the controversy as “a joke” and asked “can you believe we live in a time when people actually give a shit who makes a burrito?”

Greg Gianforte Body Slams Reporter
Overview
Greg Gianforte Bodyslams Reporter refers to the controversy surrounding an event in which Republican House of Representatives candidate Greg Gianforte of Montana allegedly assaulted Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs on the eve of the special election for Montana’s lone House seat held between him and Democrat Rob Quist.
Background
On May 24th, 2017, Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs tweeted “Greg Gianforte just body slammed me and broke my glasses.”[1] Two hours later, The Guardian[2] posted an article about the event, including Jacobs’ audio of the incident. The event was also corroborated by other reporters on the scene, including several at Fox News,[3] who posted an article about their account. According to several accounts, Jacobs was attempting to question Gianforte about the American Health Care Act. After Gianforte initially directed Jacobs to a spokesman, Jacobs persisted, at which point Gianforte assaulted him while screaming “I’m sick and tired of this!” According to accounts of the event, Gianforte body slammed Jacobs and landed a couple punches. Jacobs’ audio of the event is shown below.
Developments
Gianforte was charged with misdemeanor assault and faces a $500 fine or 6 months in prison or both.[4] Before audio of the incident was released, Gianforte’s campaign released a statement which contradicted eyewitness accounts of the event. Gianforte’s spokesman, Shane Scanlon, said, “After asking Jacobs to lower the recorder, Jacobs declined. Greg then attempted to grab the phone that was pushed in his face. Jacobs grabbed Greg’s wrist and spun away from Greg, pushing them both to the ground.”
However, Gianforte is not heard on the recording asking Jacobs to lower the recorder. Gianforte’s opponent, Rob Quist, declined to comment, saying it was more a matter for law enforcement. As of the morning of May 25th, 2017, it is unclear how the event will affect the race.
Online Reaction
Twitter users reacted with a mix of shock and humor at the news. Many users in politics and journalism reacted with concern over whether or not the fact a politician assaulted a reporter would hurt his chances in an election.[5]
Wrestling Jokes
Many on Twitter made jokes about the incident. While some tied their jokes to current events,[7] one of the most prominent kinds of jokes compared the incident to something that would happen in Professional Wrestling. Uproxx[6] covered the prevalence of these jokes.
