Looks like some weird artifact. The original author deleted all his original tweets back in October, so I can't find the original; but he did retweet Stephen King's quote tweet of someone else's tweet of a screenshot of his original tweet (wow I hate that sentence) and that screenshot doesn't have this artifact in it.

This was in an old folder, no idea where it originated!

It looks like a weird kerning issue between the e & the d, but it’s really odd that it’s only happening with those two letters.

I've overlaid what I think is the original onto the image from this post: https://i.imgur.com/3WE6emI.png

They match up so exactly that I'm pretty convinced this has to have originally been the same image, just mangled by some sort of an uploader or something.

Thanks for this. Super weird!
