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.
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.
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.
I'm in @thedispatch today, with a piece about how Renee Good is not going to be the last person ICE kills, because this wasn't a freak accident - it was the culmination of a persistent, ongoing pattern.

Renee Good's death was a predictable tragedy. ICE routinely escalates to violence at the first excuse. It's an agency filled with substandard officers and given political cover from on high.
Renee Good, or someone like her, was bound to die.
