MEMernet: Protest, Who to Follow, and Youch 

Scenes from the Hands Off protest, a fun foodie on YouTube, and Grizz dragged on X.

Memphis on the internet.

Protest 

Hundreds joined for a Hands Off protest at Poplar and Highland last Saturday. President Donald Trump and Memphis businessman Elon Musk were, broadly, the targets of the protest.

“It was overwhelmingly positive,” umelissa3670 said on Reddit. “I had two people flip me off and two yell ‘Trump!’ at me or in my general direction, one of which had frat bro ‘do-you-know-who-my-father-is?’ energy. I just shrugged. All and all [sic] a great day! Loved meeting folks and smiling.” 

Who to Follow

DeeJayTV130 said his little sister “wanted to pull up” to the Belly Acres on Poplar and dine at what he called “the most expensive restaurant in Memphis” in a new YouTube video. The siblings order, eat in the car, and discuss the food. In all, the video (and the whole channel, really) is a gentle, heartwarming slice of foodie life in the Bluff City.

The Grizzlies got dragged on X after their 80-131 defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder last Sunday. Exhibit A: A screen grab from a gif showed “the Memphis Grizzlies leaving the arena.”
