Guys, is the media tag no longer automatically unfolding tweets? In this new post I made, I listed a whole bunch of tweets, but the media tag only unfolds a couple of them, and they are different ones every time, whereas all the other tweets just disappear. Any idea what might be causing this problem with tweets not expanding and disappearing?

Based on recent experiences on another platform, I think it might be a change to the twitter api. I can check the scripts here, but a bunch of embed-bots on other platforms recently stopped working too.

I see, that's what I was worried about. Ever since Twitter has become X you can't see almost anything unless you're logged in.
When you visit an account the tweets are no longer displayed chronologically but according to rank/popularity.
It's so annoying. I really don't want to be logged into Twitter while doing research.

Yes, exactly. The permissions changed and it's inconsistent from what I've observed, that's why the tweets sometimes embed/roll and don't at other times. Depending on your browser and dervice, I have noticed you can read some content and then get errors for the rest.

Having briefly held a developer account for Twitter, the API is a schizophrenic mess. It's shocking it works as well as it does.

I may have a workaround for this: I want you to visit my website on this specific page. I have tabbed accordions with embedded Twitter Timelines. I would like you to click on one of the tabs and the hyperlink and see if you can get a timeline of the tweets. Make sure you are signed out of your twitter. https://kennetherwinengelhardt.com/page-3-russia-coverage/

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be working. I clicked on this link, and the tweets (xes?) of this account were again displayed according to popularity instead of chronologically like in the old days:

 
We were kicking around the idea of a comic and a merchandise run in conversations with staff and we think it can be actually be quite practical and a fun way to raise funds to support Onionfarms. I would like to look at promotional items(coffee mugs, shirts, mousepads, totes and so forth) with some high quality graphics that could be dropped shipped to customers.

As for the comic, what I would like to do is to take some of my ideas from Sonichen & Rosechen, ideas from others, and send it off to a comic book writer for some kind of a rough script as a starting point. I want to see how it would turn out and then we could discuss this on the forum and get your input. I really like that MATI Comic that someone has come up with. As for any revenue from sales of such comic, I think it would only be fair to have some kind of profit-sharing arrangement for artists and writers that contribute viable content, as long as we understand that our primary focus is to generate a source of revenue for Onionfarms to help meet our costs.
 
In terms of privacy protection, if would be easier for me to just put some cash in an envelope and have a friend in another country mail it to you than it would be for me to buy merch over online channels. It's just not private enough.
 
If you're not banned from payment processors, then just make a Patreon or use some other conventional donation method.
 
I am setting up our own "Cwcki". It will be directly embedded on my website Kennetherwinengelhardt.com I want this to be more "sophisticated" than CWC. I am looking at possibly Kim Jong or Putin but I am not quite sure at this point. There is a Wikipedia editor helping me. I am also going to have the comic directly on the website as well.
