Well I’m using a dark cursor theme and I run Linux so ymmv but you should still be able to click on that left side to get to a single tweet where the url has /status/12345678909876

Alternatively, if it’s an image, just click on the middle of the image to get the large popup version. That will also give you a unique url to that single item. However, news articles posted to twitter often pull in a related pic and clicking on it will take you to the news article, blog post etc.

Here’s a link to a pic(covid related too) https://twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/1239041045385474048/photo/1

Now if you want to post a pic directly here on FR from twitter, things get tricky. In firefox, I right click > view image. That shows just the pic but with an odd url that won’t show up as a pic here but it can be converted to a url that will put a pic here by removing the logic code.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ETH1A5kUEAEHvxh?format=jpg&name=4096x4096

Remove ?format and remove everything after jpg and put a dot before jpg

That gives you the actual file url like below

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ETH1A5kUEAEHvxh.jpg

If I had added the <img src= html, it would show as an image here
