We've reached the Final Four, the pinnacle of the Worst Tweets of 2022 Image
Champion of the Discourse Region: Chili Neighbor

An innocent tweet led to discourse so cursed that it reached the Washington Post and inspired countless think pieces. Image
Champion of the Ukraine region: Aesthetics

As Russia invades and brutalizes Ukraine, keep in mind that the ✨aesthetics✨ are so special right now and we should just enjoy the vibes. Image
Champion of the Ableist and Problematic Region: Anne Frank's White Privilege.

Because the important thing to remember about Anne Frank is how much advantage she got in life from her racial status. Image
Champion of the WTF region: Emotional Labor

An upset run for the ages, as we contemplate the emotional labor necessary to (checks notes) raise children? Image
Vote:

WTF Region - Emotional Labor
vs
Ukraine Region - Aesthetics
Vote:

Older books are selling, newer ones aren’t. Old music is all the rage, newer artists can barely get played. Older video games and old movie franchises suck up all the attention.

In almost every field, old art is strangling new art. 🧵
Let's start with music.

In 2010, current music was 57% of sales with 'catalog' (older songs) taking 43%.

In 2024, catalog made up a whopping **73%** of music sales. New music is increasingly irrelevant to the music industry. Image
You can see this in places other than sales data. What's the hottest industry trend? Buying up the rights of retired or dead artists. Image

I usually try not to post too hysterically because it's not strategically useful, but you really do need to admit that the completely hysterical anti-Trumpers were right about everything.

People are always attempting to sanewash Trump's latest idiocy, and it always fails.
He doesn't have complicated geopolitical theories about war and peace. He just likes Russia and likes Putin. That's it. Every idea more complicated than that fails.
He doesn't have 5D chess strategies for how tariffs can reorder the international economy. He thinks tariffs are big and tough and manly and will 'beat' the other side. He's just a dumb fucking guy who doesn't understand economics.

It's been a long year - but it's finally time. Announcing the Worst Tweets of 2024 Bracket!

I've spent the entire year collecting hundreds of the most deranged posts on this website.

The field of 64 is divided into four regions:

* The WTF Region
* The Weird Conservative Region
* The Weird Woke Region
* The Israel/Palestine Region

Voting threads are below! May the worst tweet win! Image
If you need even more, I compiled the honorable mentions that just barely missed the cut over at Infinite Scroll:

Recently Richard Hanania wrote an article about how - despite his belief that the GOP is a party of lazy, conspiratorial, bigoted, anti-democracy morons - he's going to vote for them anyways.

His reasoning? Economic growth.

This is very dumb, and deserves a thorough rebuttal. Image
First: It's kind of insane to *only* care about economic growth. But let's concede the point. Say that literally all you care about is growth - what next?

Even in that case, it's a terrible idea to support Trump. He has terrible ideas and would be a disaster for the economy.
Let's start with tariffs. Trump wants a 10% global tariff on everything. Maybe the single worst idea in a generation - it would make the US poorer instantly.

Economists are pretty much universally in agreement this is a bad, bad, bad idea.

The 'empty quadrant' is one of the most replicated findings in housing research.

There expensive cities that don't build. There are cheap cities that do build. And there are no cities that build lots of housing and still see very high housing costs. Image
But that chart's data only goes through 2013, you say! Sure. What if we use a completely different data source and time period?

Top right quadrant is still empty. Image
It works for both overall price level as well as *changes* in price level.

No city that has large increases in inventory also sees increases in housing cost. Upper right still empty. Image
