They can change these pics at will. Good lord people.

If a tweet's picture is changed, would that not also update the timestamp? Asking for someone who has never used twitter.

LoveOurCountry ago

You cannot change a tweet's picture. You would have to copy the original tweet and attach a new picture. It will have a new timestamp and be a new and different tweet. Then you would have to delete the original tweet entirely if you just want one tweet with the new picture. Again, it will have a new timestamp because it is a new and different tweet.

if the link is just to obama.org is it possible it just loads the cover image of the website or whatever and it got changed more recently than the post?

UnbreakablePatriot ago

Yes. Carpe donktum explained it well. The org. Changes their cover photo and anything that tweeted that organization link automatically updates. 8kun called it out right away.

May 17 is the date on the link

FractalizingIron ago

No, the date of the TWEET is May 17. The link itself is always live. If the link target is removed, its blank. if its updated, Twitter loads the current link image.

PS. Here is an archived copy of Obama.org on May 17.

here is the code.

Can you find the floyd image (053020_GeorgeFloyd_Protests_Chicago_IL_CD_1588-scaled.jpg) anywhere here? No.

If you saw the Obama.org tweet (May 17) on May 17 (up until May 30, probs) you would see this:

https://www.obama.org/wp-content/uploads/M1Hi_j0246-copy-scaled-e1588695935923.jpg

The image name is M1Hi_j0246-copy-scaled-e1588695935923.jpg

Here is an archive of Obama.org on June 1.

Here is the code:

You will see that the Floyd Image is NOT current.

https://www.obama.org/wp-content/uploads/053020_GeorgeFloyd_Protests_Chicago_IL_CD_1588-scaled.jpg

If you check the Obama.org site one two or three weeks from now, you'll probably see a NEW current photo, and when you check the May 17 tweet, you'll see THAT new image too (if and when Twiffer updates their cache.)

Hope that helps.

The point is that Q showed us that NSA intercepted O webmaster validation with this picture at May 17. All other dynamic or static discussions do not matter.

FractalizingIron ago

Why are you posting T&A's bogus nonsense? It makes no sense, and contradicts itself.

The script Q posts is one method used by programmers to force update the image in the cache before Twiffer does.
