But that doesn't show the first tweet in the thread like in the screenshot.

I recommend everyone sharing social media links to see what it looks like in a private browser window, because the logged out experience is usually bad and sometimes unusable.

The second tweet is the one highlighted in the screenshot, and that's why I posted the link to that one. The screenshot has all the relevant information, and the link allows those with an X account to go and look at the whole thread.

I did that, and that's explicitly why I chose to link to that second tweet. If you have an account you get to see the whole thread. If you don't have an account then the screenshot gives you all the relevant information.

I don't have a twitter account and twitter/x links are basically unreadable now. Before they used to be somewhat readable, although threads often work 'backwards' from normal internet, but somewhere along the x transition the site pretty much broke. You can see individual tweets, but none of the replies and such now.
