Scroll down in that thread. They came from a Vice article.

I don't understand how Twitter threads work. I only used it briefly years ago, it's cancer.

I agree. I created a Twitter account in 2013, never used it. In 2020 I started using it to try and get some idea of wtf is going on. Now I understand. A few people are addicted to Twitter. Twitter is a cesspool of vitriol, hatred and grandstanding. I was saying 3 years ago that Twitter has become the Editorial Desk for all journalists and that was probably a bad thing. Now I don't think its a bad thing. I KNOW its terrible and destructive and we need to end the power Twitter has on our society. Twitter is cancer.
