I was hoping someone would address drop 4437. What does the code do? It would be great if you could try out the code and let us know.

You can do it manually, I think I will give it a shot. Remove the final ' from the URL name to get to the actual card validator, looks like maybe qmap.pub auto-creates the "archive link" which is the folder after the URL, because it also has the ' at the end of it.

That brings up a page asking for a URL with metadata. So, I'll create a page with some metadata in it, and continue. First I'll look to see what metadata it wants: okay, this page describes how to set it up:

https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/optimize-with-cards/guides/getting-started

It includes the following:

Content is cached by Twitter for 7 days after a link to a page with card markup has been published in a Tweet.

That seems to be telling: he died 8 days after. So if it was created late on 5/17 and he died early on 5/25, then it's possible that it was cached for 7 days at that point. Knowing those times seems important to continuing, at least, down this line of thought.

Right after the above is this:

If you encounter issues with cards in Tweets not appearing properly, see the Cards Troubleshooting Guide.

That might prove useful later, we shall see.

I'm getting a headache and can only go so far (recovering from concussions) -- I'll let someone else run with the ball from here.

The next major section is "Card Display" and looks like it's relevant!

Card Display

Twitter Cards generated from meta tags only appear when a Tweet is either expanded in the timeline (on web) or viewed on the Tweet’s individual permalink page (by clicking on the date from the timeline, either on web or on mobile).

In limited circumstances, Cards may appear in the timeline, such as in images posted to Twitter, Ad formats, and Twitter-run experiments.

If you are looking to bring media (photos, videos and Cards) into the timeline, consider one of the following options:

  • Accounts can pin a Tweet to the top of their timeline, which auto-expands the Tweet and displays the Card. (This is possible on web only.).
  • For photos and animated GIFs, upload the media directly with the Tweet or consider using the Twitter API to upload media.
  • For Ad formats with a call-to-action, visit Twitter Ads for Website Cards.

It all has to do with the photo of Flynn that was posted on the 17th and we were just told about today. Now it makes a little more sense why all this is a topic of conversation...
