Web devs: a mystery. I cut and paste a URL (.../can-you-hear-me-now) but twitter pulled a different post to actually link to and preview, even though in thread context view it is clear I pasted right url. The wrong url is one I haven’t shared recently and isn’t open on my device.
Conversation
Thread where this happened (see replies). My candidate explanations:
a) distributed caching error
b) hash collision
c) multiverse quantum weirdness
d) Iranian hackers

There’s no reason to expect that even conscientious persons (with full powers of reason & adequate time to consider matters) will arrive at the same conception of “the good.”
So why on earth do we imagine irresponsible idiots will manage this?
(And yes, this is a subtweet.)

ghost in the machine maybe?
Dunno — pasting the link in here cards-dev.twitter.com/validator turns up the right result
Probably some sort of bug

Figured it out. Either WP or the CDN is being aggressive in matching misspelled urls

Oh shit, this explains it... adding that extra m (which I must have done by accident) resolves to that other link... wtf?? Shouldn’t it 404? twitter.com/galtenberg/sta…
