Eichenwald is great because he treats his twitter profile pic like tinder

It really puts into context his weepy loving tweets and lovely articles

Al Giordano's tweet about how the darn racist Bernie bros were only booing Leon Panetta at the DNC because he's Italian is the best thing ever posted on twitter dot com

Here's the bracket:


I'm going to play Jerry Palm and be the bracketologist-in-residence for this one: The toughest play-in is Barstool Sports' Chicago idiot versus a guy obsessed with getting foul balls. Headass has its clear favorites (Al Giordano, Arthur Chu) but also more than a few dark horses (Lauren Chief Elk has a very tough 8/9 draw against Alex Jones, while don't be surprised to see Todd Kincannon pull off the 2/15 upset against OhNoSheTwint). Spirit Cooking is in my mind the deepest bracket, utterly loaded with idiots of all stripes, especially in the sports field (Bill Simmons, Skip Bayless, Jason Whitlock, Curt Schilling, Marlins Man, and ANOTHER Barstool dumbass in Chaps) but also pop culture (Amy Schumer, Lena Dunham, and indeed Bill Simmons) and politics (Baseball Crank, Steven Crowder, Kurt Eichenwald, Scott Adams): whoever got drawn here is going to have a war on their hands to make it to the Fuccboi Four. The Cuck Region has two sporting dark-horses (Clay Travis and Darren Rovell) but a number of political heavy-hitters: Jill Filipovic, Joe Walsh, Ben Shapiro, Mike Tracey and the under-rated Shanley Kane are all here, but it'll take a certain kind of mindset to best the #1 seed--a gorilla mindset, if you will. Patreon has some great names you already know and love: Clara Jeffrey (but not her eight-year-old son), Dady Soyle, Peter Daou (the #1 seed), a man who owned us all in Bill Mitchell, but there's also two massive upset hopefuls in Sarah Kendzior (a woman whom I'm ashamed to share my city with) at #13 against Brianna Wu and The Wokest Bae Matt McGorry, whose chances have rapidly improved of the 5/12 upset now that Patton Oswalt has changed his colors of late.

the only one with even a remote chance to unseat him is gorilla cum man, the rest of them are a mix of 'who' and generic idiots who will pale next to mr 'grab your muskets' and 'have you TRIED raping a girl though???'

Though isn't James Woods the guy who bragged about a guy suing him dying and acting as if that counts as a win for him? If he wasn't against Walsh from the get go he'd be a strong contender.

Steven Crowder has the ideal twitter account. You may not like it but that's what peak performance looks like.

He's not a leftist (Ron Paul 2012 lol) so people get extremely mad at him vs. say Freddie for having some heterodox views and an affinity for twitter wars.

Bill Mitchell owned us all and should be removed from the tournament.

My guess is some people are suffering from @dril-fatigue at this point.

Also, my Execrable Eight picks: Arthur Chu and Al Giordano from the Headass Region, Marlins Man and Lena Dunham from the Spirit Cooking Region, Mike Cernovich and the winner of Clay Travis/Jill Filipovic (because they're both poo poo in their own, special way, and that's going to be a classic Rd of 16 matchup) in the Cuck Region, and down in the Patreon Region Matt McGorry (he's like VCU was a couple years ago in the NCAAs, the guy no-one but the real fans see coming) and Dady Soyle.

The best of Arthur Chu is worth reading but everyone else is not very funny. Maybe Neera just for the absurdity of a person with a very good job who has no reason to flail around on twitter.

He also obsessively name searches to drop into any thread talking about him or his followers tag him in if you screencap a post of his.

Neera is great for the time she clearly made up a fake email since she posted a screenshot of it in the Notes app. Also the time she made up a fake twitter account claiming to be Bruce Reed to try to lie her way out of people calling bullshit on her saying she wasn't involved with Clinton welfare reform.

If Clinton had won the election, Neera would have black-bagged Matt Bruenig and sent him to a CIA site in Azerbaijan.

Neera is worth reading about because she represents the absolute worst thing about Clintonism, which is that they value "loyalty" over any basic grasp of competency.

I have to think that, because I can't imagine people being this broke brained.
