If you are someone who regularly archives things, especially tweets, this is for you. Found a workaround for Twitter's broken API.
If you add the google webcache URL before the URL of the tweet/profile in question, it still archives fine.

Granted, that's an extra step and doesn't work with most plugins, but it still works.
You'd add "https: //webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:" before your twitter URL. Remove the space in between the : and the //, I just did that to prevent the hyperlink.

Tested on both and .
It's not perfect, but it works.

I will keep shouting into the void about the erosion of permanence of information and the people who enable it forever.
Sorry not sorry.

This solution is not a fix-all.
Caches are not permanent, and not every URL will have a cache. But it will work for a decent portion of the time.
If I find a better solution, or if I find someone else already has, I will obviously let y'all know.
