The global IT outage was not caused by Microsoft, but by CrowdStrike, which issued a buggy kernel driver update. The BSOD only affected Windows machines running the CrowdStrike Falcon software. https://www.techarp.com/internet/microsoft-crowdstrike-it-outage/ https://www.wired.com/story/crowdstrike-outage-update-windows/ https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/our-statement-on-todays-outage/ https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/statement-on-falcon-content-update-for-windows-hosts/

Original Tweet
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/1814335375285923931
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.
