The yr is ending and, shockingly, it was full of much less drama than most individuals predicted. Self included. Final yr’s annoying checklist centered on the enemies of sanity like lecturers union boss Randi Weingarten and Greta Thunberg, local weather extremist turned full-time lefty activist.
After all, 2024 nonetheless had drama. A number of it may be traced to a few of its annoying folks and there are too many to checklist right here. We get to make enjoyable of the worst of them.
1. The less-than-dynamic duo
Let’s start with a bipartisan spirit. Each left and proper discover MSNBC “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski tremendous annoying. I’m virtually a founding member of the “Joe is a Joke” caucus. Till just lately, that was a principally conservative clique.

They spent years saying terrible issues about President-elect Trump and different conservatives. Scarborough’s lie about President Biden being coherent earned him “Worst Quote of the 12 months” from the Media Analysis Heart. Scarborough instructed the viewers: “This model of Biden intellectually, analytically, is the very best Biden ever.” He threw in an “F—you,” for good measure. Remarkably, each he and Biden are nonetheless employed.

After that lie, the “Morning Joe” twosome paid a go to to Trump and alienated their far-left base, with Scarborough telling viewers they should, “Develop up.” Their rankings have gone anyplace however up ever since. MSNBC had so as to add one other host and lefty loon Keith Olberman is saying it’s time for Scarborough and Brzezinski to go. Right here’s the Selection headline: “Keith Olbermann: How Can MSNBC Save Itself After Trump’s Win? First Step: Fireplace Mika and Joe.”
He’s removed from alone. Bluesky is full of hate for the pair and their present. I’d be shocked in the event that they nonetheless have a present on MSNBC by Christmas 2025. I guess they’d be, too.

2. The final word Karen
Me, me, me, me. That’s the voice for narcissistic journalism – Taylor Lorenz. She used to jot down about tech and social media at The New York Occasions, The Washington Submit, and so on. By any honest measure, she’s a social media sensation. She has over half 1,000,000 followers on TikTok and one other half a mil mixed between Twitter and Bluesky. Now she has a Substack readership the place she promotes COVID-19 paranoia and hatred of well being care CEOs.

She exited conventional journalism in August after she posted what she claimed was an “apparent meme” calling Biden a “conflict prison.” Then she acquired referred to as out for saying she felt “pleasure” after the homicide of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, which she now says was “dubiously edited.” And she will be able to normally be discovered carrying a masks and criticizing those that don’t as, “uncooked dogging the air and spewing ur illness laden breath throughout ur aged neighbors.”
To prime it off, she acquired in a web based argument with statistician Nate Silver about her age. Lorenz remains to be listed in her Wikipedia profile as “age 37–39,” taunted him saying, “Simply assume I’m 50!” (In line with Cleaning soap Central, the true quantity is 40, for many who care.)

3. The opposite Taylor-plus
Within the regular world, there’s just one Taylor – Taylor Swift. It’s simple to admire Swift and her soccer star boyfriend Travis Kelce. (She was one in every of my superstars of 2023.) Each of them had profitable years. Her Eras tour did nice and Celeb Web Value says she’s now price $1.5 billion. Her boyfriend stays one of many prime tight ends within the NFL and his staff is a favourite of followers and referees in its quest for a 3rd straight Tremendous Bowl. (Boo right here.)
The issue is, I’m sick of them. Be sincere, in case you don’t consider your self as a “Swiftie,” you might be, too. Occurs to anybody within the public eye a lot that your eye begins to twitch. Regardless of that, I nonetheless want them nice success each individually and as a pair in 2025. (Aside from that Tremendous Bowl.)

However they needed to flip it up a notch. Fellow hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Pleasure Behar acquired discussing why they hadn’t seen Vice President-elect JD Vance just lately. Behar claimed, “He’s planning the presidency after they do away with Trump.”
