I don't usually like to be the one complaining about how bad Twitter is for quality tech threads like this. But wow, it seems you can no longer view any of the pictures or the rest of the thread without a Twitter account.

Nitter is a great web client for Twitter. If your browser supports extensions, you can use the Privacy Redirect extension to automatically redirect Twitter requests to Nitter:

And if you are on Android, you can also use the Fritter client without a Twitter account:

Anecdotally, I installed privacy redirect but had to uninstall it because every other time I got redirected to an instance that was broken or had exhausted its API limits for the day. I realize this is at least partially Twitter's fault, but sadly the UX is horrible.
You can disable cookies and then view everything.
You can using one of the nitter instances:
