The way twitter refuses to show you the actual tweet someone linked to in the middle of a thread is super-annoying. One thing that can help a little bit (on the desktop version at least) is to load the URL without the referer (i.e., highlight the URL bar and hit enter). It seems to use the presence of a referer as signal to hide the tweet you want to see (???).

But ThreadReaderApp is also a good alternative to just bypass the bad UI entirely.

Unfortunately I don't really have time for dedicated blogging any more, so I just post small bits to twitter as I go. Which is why putting together the full story required a bunch of QTs of threads from the past week...

Any hope of putting up a gist on pastebin?

A gist of what? The slur list? That's already on my website:

I assume they mean a more readable version of the content from the Twitter thread, rather than just the list. I could be wrong though.

Twitter's readability is really hit and miss, depending on client and logged in or not etc.
