Plus the reaction in the Tumblverse is always 'repeatedly get hit by a dog and fall down the stairs'.
Explanation
This comic plays with the google trends for the terms blog, tumblr, wordpress and livejournal.
Ok, lets see: blog, you know what that is because you are currently reading one explainxkcd until recently was one. Tumblr is a more of a "micro-blogging" site, which has taken off due to the prevalence of animated gifs and funny photos. Wordpress is a type of blog software. Livejournal is a sort of personal blog site that as you can see hasn't been really popular at all since 2004-2005.
As you can see in the caption and then the image text, there is no way that newscasters will reference the "Tumblrverse" because all the reactions will be filled with animated gifs of a person in a raptor suit falling over or a dog answering a phone.
