This author incorrectly suggests that the chart in the Washington Post article is misleading in the same way as bar charts with non-zeroed axes. It is not. Axes for bar charts should go to zero to avoid distortions of area. The areas in the WaPo bars are not distorted. https://guides.library.duke.edu/datavis/topten

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1637425531514765315
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
