FWIW, you can still use TweetDeck[1] which has better density, customizable media size, and multi-column views. Previously I just used it for following live events but switched when the desktop site got mobile-ified. I also left feedback on the redesign.
I pray they keep around the alternatives like this for a dense display format on desktop.
