Anyone still using Twitter is a top tier masochist. It was always a pretty shit platform, but it's being made fun of by the toilet and the dumpster now for how shitty it is.

Hell, I think the sewage treatment plant is starting to blush at this point.

The images are still available. The redirects are broken.

So how do I get the direct links if all the tweets have the short link?
