Quick reminder that there's a Virtual Homebrew Website Club Meetup tonight. It's likely to have a very #DoOO and #edTech slant given the current RSVPs. #IndieWeb #newwwyear

@Chronotope @acarvin Yet another reminder in a seemingly long and unending list of reasons for why journalists (and everyone really) should have their own websites and tools.

@han_cee Thanks for the reminder to check on my own... Should be ready to eat in a day or two!
Last update turned off checkins in Post Kinds metabox · Issue #34 · dshanske/simple-location https:/
It may have been something else, though I haven't changed anything else substantively recently...
When I updated simple locations with the new release, I think it disabled the visibility for checkins with Post Kinds Plugin. IIRC, there was a check that one did to see if the other was installed and enabled them. Perhaps changes in Post Kinds and Simple Location haven't kept abreast with each other as I believe the on/off in the Post Kinds plugin also moved a version or two back as well.
I want to say that I'd been manually changing the code for a while to show checkins within the metabox, though perhaps after the refactoring of Post Kinds a few months back, perhaps I hadn't and so it was updating Simple Location that turned it off yesterday. I can't be 100% sure, and the number of people using the two in tandem is surely small, so I thought I'd mention it.
In the meanwhile, (as a reminder to myself) I've manually hard coded checkins back on.
@jgmac1106 Thanks for the reminder; they were the first group on my list along with the #DoOO crowd.
@EddieHinkle Clicking through will show that the text in the Twitter card is a quote of the original, in some part a reminder to me about what it was I had listened to. (It also serves as an advertisement for the thing itself--I like to promote good podcasts.) Most often these posts are just an emoji indicating the post type with the title and source of the thing I listened to. Occasionally I'll add some bit of a reply or commentary and bury the true post type into the Twitter Card along with a quote from the original. eg: https:/
Once in a rarer blue moon I'll throw a snippet of commentary into the Twitter card, but not often. See also https:/

Or by strange formatting did you mean some of the struck out text on links?
If that's the case, I'll note that I've got a parser on my site that checks for broken links (404s and others) that uses CSS to strike out links which have gone dead. And there were a number on that particular article. I have a master list of them compiled on my back end and usually once a month or so I go through to attempt to redirect them to new locations or to archive.org copies if available. In some sense it's a personal reminder to myself of how fragile the web can be.
Perhaps I could do a better/alternate visualization for broken links than striking out the text? Red links? Hover text? Other? Suggestions?
I've been following the conversation on https:/
I'll spend some time in the next two days to see if i can stumble across the "fix" snarfed did and close this out. Thanks for the reminder @pfefferle.
Malcolm, thanks for the reminder of those social RSS feeds. I'd seen them a few months back and meant to set up a reader specifically for consuming content from Twitter, Facebook, et al. I'll have to delve back into it in the new year as having a better reader is becoming more important/interesting to me.

@noaheverett A nice reminder of how far pictures in social media on mobile/web have come...
