  And people said I was being a Luddite for saying "just copy the text or take a screenshot", that's a lot of "news" articles at this point. Definitely disturbing that journalists (especially) figured it was good archival practice to rely on the Twitter API in providing context. For years, if I didn't enable twitter's javascript, news articles are missing images and quotes, obviously so. It's embarrassing, I honestly don't know how they recover from this, I don't know why they kept relying on Twitter embedding when screenshots and copy/paste work better and don't break.
