Please stop using twitter John.

It's the 21st century and brilliant minds are posting thoughts in broken unreadable parts on websites that completely don't work unless you're a religious "the modern web requires javascript REEEEEEE" zealot.

given that the article is about inefficient use of content delivery technology, it is poetically ironic to try (and kinda fail) to post said article on a website that doesn't allow the article to be fully posted

(a) Unless I'm mistaken, there are three tweets. Three.

(b) Can you use curl? Maybe hit the API.

(c) The modern web DOES require JavaScript. Sure, I'm not clear on what that has to do with reading three tweets available on a public API, but it's pretty weird to object to a declarative statement of truth.
