I’ve spent the year carefully compiling the absolute worst tweets I read in 2020.

But before sharing them, let’s remember last year’s esteemed winners: https://twitter.com/alexschief/status/1211479251221929985
Let me first say, that this was a year with incredibly steep competition. Despite a heroic effort, not everyone could be a winner.

I'd like to acknowledge these four Honorable Mentions, which show the places you can go when you start with a wildly off-base premise.

It was a good year for tweets that question the fitness of our species to continue to survive.

These four semi-finalists may not have won, but at least they provoked deep conversations about some of the biggest questions facing humanity.

Sometimes we find beauty in the most unlikely places.

These four finalists each has a unique quality that puts it over the top. Economy of words. Obtuseness of worldview. General cluelessness. Badness of prediction.

These are the things to which we hold dearest on Twitter.

Yet—

When it came to selecting the single worst tweet of 2020, a tweet that wasn't just awful on its own merits, but one that was a true celebration of all that made this year so miserable, folks... there was only one possible choice.

Thanks for joining me on this journey.
