40 of the Freshest and Funniest Tweets of the Week (December 28, 2024)

It’s almost the end of the year, which means it’s a great time to look back on your favorite tweets of 2024. It was a big year, full of Elon Musk controversies, fake Willy Wonka experiences in Glasgow, and some political circus acts, to say the least. There was also the Four Seasons baby, Moo Deng (the baby hippo nobody could get enough of), a chill guy, a little too much Hawk Tuah, and way too much AI slop. We laughed, we cringed, and we thought about moving to Bluesky (though most of us didn’t). We scrolled through it all, and we wanted more. 

But a contender for my favorite tweet is as simple as it is profound as it is stupid. On September 6th, 2024, @orbeezgod tweeted “Almonds is wood.” And those words will stay with me for the rest of my life. But keep scrolling, and there are more nominees for 2024’s best tweet.
