About Twitter Embeds:

> These meta tags (and some other, less frequently used ones) were used on Twitter when generating link embeds. However, the documentation and card validator are no longer accessible (previously at https://dev.twitter.com/cards/getting-started and https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator respectively). X falls back to the widely respected Open Graph meta tags, making the Twitter-specific declarations largely useless. They should be removed in favour of Open Graph tags. Further, they should be removed because X is an awful site with poor moderation that is owned by a man who publicly performed a Nazi Sieg Heil salute and has directly contributed to the rise of fascism in the United States of America and globally, among other horrors.

Ok but I believe `twitter:card` has no OG equivalent and still works?

Well, that escalated quickly. If my client wants Twitter tags, I'll write those Twitter tags. If my client wants dancing hamsters, I'll add those dancing hamsters. I don't care who Elon Musk is and what he did. I don't know the guy, but I do know my wife and family and they want food on the table.

Luckily, some people have enough money to be able to afford ethical inaction.

Good for them.

It's so refreshing to see courageous people bravely standing their ground who don't believe Heiling Hitler on international TV and publically humiliating and abusing their trans daughter online is a bridge too far. It's so unfair to criticize anyone for doing something you'd do too if given the platform and opportunity. Once you disown and kick your own child out of the street instead of accepting them for who they are, you'll have lower grocery bills just like you voted for.

I hope you'll never have to live in poverty, because I have a hunch you'd not take it well.
