After a long year, it's finally time. Announcing the Worst Tweets of 2023 Bracket!

I've spent the entire year collecting hundreds of deranged tweets, awful takes, and the most insane discourses on this site. Only 64 were chosen.

Now it's time to crown a champion. Image
The rules:

* No Elon Musk. It's too easy and would end up being half the bracket.
* We're not just looking for regular bad. We're not looking for normal slapfights.
* We're looking for that special brand of insanity you only get on twitter.
The field of 64 is divided into four regions named after some of our greatest discourses: the Bean Dad region, the Coffee Wife region, the Chili Neighbor region, and a special Israel/Palestine Containment Zone.

Voting threads are below!

May the worst tweet win! Image

If you want to check out all the bad tweets that didn't make the cut, I've compiled a list of Dishonorable Mentions over on my blog Infinite Scroll

Congratulations to everyone who made the bracket, and to all the people with horrifying tweets this year. We're all proud of you and we hope you never log off.

May the worst post win! Image

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.

Only the very worst were chosen. Now it's time to crown a champion. Image
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

A thread of DoorDash takes:

"I am entitled to DoorDash and can't eat a frozen dinner, because I am disabled and frozen food has 'histamines' in it." Image
"I am upset that you call hand-delivery of restaurant quality meals to my home a luxury service" Image
"Frozen meals are a gendered capitalist scheme" Image
