X glitch wipes out most pictures and links tweeted before December 2014::Ellen’s famous ‘most retweeted’ selfie from the 2014 Oscars has had its image restored, but most old tweets have broken short links instead of the media or links that should be there.

Anyone still using Twitter is a top tier masochist. It was always a pretty shit platform, but it's being made fun of by the toilet and the dumpster now for how shitty it is.

The images are still available. The redirects are broken.

So how do I get the direct links if all the tweets have the short link?
