Any thoughts on this? Chris is so active on social media nowadays that it's difficult to keep up with archiving here. Screencaps at least exist on Kiwi Farms, which are faster to make, but spread across different threads. | Any thoughts on this?

Could we just archive Chris's tweets directly off Twitter without having to manually update and format for the wiki? It wouldn't have to be a live archive, just updated periodically.
