Given the state of Twitter, I suggest looking for a different image host in the near future. There are many options, but Imgur is popular and free to use, and if you use Discord, you can make a private server to upload images there.
Image URLs need to end in the proper file extension in order for the code to recognize them as an image. By slightly editing the URL to remove everything after "jpg" and replacing "?format=" with a period, it works!

Thank you! I know Twitter is on the rocks right now, it's unfortunate. I've never dealt with Discord, but I have had people wanting me to move to there. Do you like discord? I am curious! I will try the link, Thank you again for your help, and you have a COOL username. :)

Thanks! I do use Discord regularly; I have a private server to save links & upload images for testing purposes myself, along with the usual servers to discuss things and keep in touch with people. There are lots of really big public servers you can find by searching, but I prefer dedicated community servers that require an invite.
I will say that Imgur has the advantage of more reliable hosting & shorter URLs, but Discord works fine for general purposes.
