DAE screenshot celebrity tweets before they delete them? I found a way to catch the good ones after missing like 20.
I used to just scroll past celebrity drama and by the time I went to show my girlfriend the funny tweet it was gone. Last month alone I missed three good ones from that whole Kanye and Taylor thing because I was at a job site in Tacoma and didn't check my phone until dinner. So I started using that Wayback Machine site on the web archive, you just paste the twitter link and sometimes it saved a version from before they deleted. It worked on two out of five tries, which isn't great but better than nothing. The trick is you have to grab the link fast, like within an hour, because the archive bots need time to crawl it. I also started just screenshotting anything that makes me laugh the second I see it, takes two seconds and saves me the headache later. My buddy Dave says he uses some plugin on his laptop but I'm on my phone most of the day so that doesn't help me much. Anyway, has anyone figured out a better way to find deleted celeb tweets, or am I stuck with the archive thing?

Wayback Machine is like trying to catch a fly with chopsticks for me, half the time it just shows me a blank page or some version from 2019 when nobody cared. My phone gallery is a graveyard of screenshots I forgot I even took, which honestly works better than any site. The real move is setting up a Twitter list with just the messy celebs so you see it the second it drops. Otherwise you're just playing catch up with Dave and his fancy laptop plugin.
