Is Ukraine about to have a war?
Off topic but
If you cannot see the twitter embeds then it is caused by upgrading your edge browser and it neatly comes with "Tracking" in the privacy settings to "Strict". Change back to "Moderate" and you are away.
Apologies if this already advised earlier but I did not see it.
