I'm starting to notice people put way too much faith in the summary bit -w-
Twitter is a very broken site, trying to pull text from an account overview has always pulled random shit. Normally it's just something about activating location tracking.

I realize your bot can mess up with the summaries, and I know it happens rather often. I'm not accusing your bot of anything, but twitter of pushing distracting information in any way they can.
This particular instance seems a bit far-fetched as a mistake or bug, to me. The UFO stuff seems like a distraction for the Pentagon audit.

Here's the source to the summary bit, not my code so I never got around to trying to fix its bugs: https://github.com/voneiden/PyTeaser/blob/py3/pyteaser.py

Occam's razor.
Why serve up special text when the default is already useless as is?

You have no problem if its a MLP tweet. :)

The bot doesn't do anything special with tweet links aside from submitting to tweetsave instead of archive.is.
Twitter just happens to store the full text of tweets in the page title.
