Hoping I can still use the Twitter API to perform thousands of requests: [Wayback/Archive] Burninator Sec: Twitter Removed the Blocked Account Export – Let’s Put it Back!
I dug around in the Data Archive and eventually found block.js, which is a JSON object of all the blocked accounts in their ideas. From there you can write a quick Python script to use the Twitter API to resolve all of those IDs to usernames.

I didn’t know about analytics.twitter.com. It cannot be archived in the WayBack machine or Archive Today (because of http 307 redirects without a logged on Twitter account), but it gives analytics of your past twitter behaviour.
The about link does archive though: [Wayback/Archive] Twitter Analytics: about.

I quickly hacked together this JavaScript Bookmarklet today, so it is without any checks and assumes you have enabled one Mastodon account for publishing, that you are hosting your blog on WordPress.com, and using the Classic Editor:
javascript:(function(){
publicizeFormEditHref = document.getElementById('publicize-form-edit');
publicizeFormEditHref.click();
mastodonCheckboxes = document.getElementsByClassName('wpas-submit-mastodon');
mastodonCheckboxes[0].checked = true;
publicizeFormHideHref = document.getElementById('publicize-form-hide');
publicizeFormHideHref.click();
updateButtonHref = document.getElementById('publish');
updateButtonHref.click();
})();
The above code is the state of [Wayback/Archive] JavaScript Bookmarklet for the WordPress classic editor which enables mastodon publishing (assuming you have one mastodon publishing account enabled … ) and due to be improved in a later blog post.
This will enable the currently edited post to be published to Mastodon, then update/publish the post.
On enabling one Mastodon account for publishing:

In other news since yesterday [Wayback/Archive] Twitter now requires an account to view tweets | TechCrunch
Like many of Twitter’s recent changes, this could easily backfire. If tweets aren’t publicly accessible, search engine algorithms could rank the site’s content lower, meaning that fewer people would be directed to the site from Google.
This not only hampers SEO, but any anonymous access to tweets resulting in Twitter to have become a walled garden without any prior announcement.
As of yesterday, this for instance makes it way harder for researchers to access Twitter in a non-biased way (the Twitter Algorithm will always bias the timeline for an account). It also prohibits the Wayback Machine from archiving Tweets (which I rightnow cannot archive):

Twitter is now more restricted than LinkedIn or Facebook, so I think it is a next step of burning the Twitter Equity to the ground followed after many other steps scaring Twitter users away, for instance as of:

A while ago, Threader died, and about the only alternatives back then seemed to be ThreadReaderApp and Archive Today: Threader is dying: save your content as soon as possible:
The alternatives [Archive] @ThreadReaderApp, [Archive] @WayBackMachine and [Archive] @ArchiveIs for the win (:
In the end that’s not completely true, though they do seem to be the only places where that can be triggered without tweeting a kind of “unroll” response to a thread-to-be-archived.
There are more of the latter kind that were active at the end of 2021 when I queued this post:
This one died a silent death somewhere fall 2020:
This one is registered, but does not reply with unrolls:
A repository I want to check out later: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – the-crib/thread-unroll: Unrolls twitter thread and sends it as a DM to anyone that mentions the bot on the thread.
Finally, some of the helper accounts that ThreadReaderApp uses:

[Wayback/Archive] Exclude replies from official twitter search widget – Stack Overflow (thanks Willem de Wit):
I found an option to include retweets include:retweets so I tried to change that to exclude:replies and it worked!
My search-string is now: from:account_name exclude:replies
Note that there used to be exclude:retweets, but that seems to be the default for some time now, as per [Wayback/Archive] twitter – Is there a way to filter out retweets? – Web Applications Stack Exchange comment (thanks [Wayback/Archive] jxd):
Correction: the checkbox is missing because using advanced search by username now seems to exclude retweets by default.
