Off topic, but how is the thumbnail actually picked up? I looked at the article and can't find this specific picture anywhere.

For breaking news stories, the website might keep updating the pictures.

Lemmy presumably goes to the website, and downloads a relevant image to use as a thumbnail. Then the writers update the article images.
