While metacrap is a DRY violation, the fact that it\u2019s automated for me and is based on data I\u2019m actually showing visually on my website makes it feel much less dirty. It also has the benefit that it helps make some of my syndicated content look and feel on Twitter, more like it does on my website. This is also a problem since Twitter hampers how much data I can syndicate in a single post.\nI\u2019ve still got some issues about how to deal with the Post Kinds data, but after a bit of digging around, I discovered the image URL for External Featured Image plugin is hiding in the\u00a0_dcms_eufi_img field.

I\u2019m happy to hear ideas on what field names I\u2019d need to use to get the Post Kinds Name and\u00a0Summary/Quote fields to map over for the og:title and og:description respectively. Ideally I can manage to get it done without needing to get a subscription to the pro version of AIOSEO which also has support for custom taxonomies which is how Post Kinds works.\nSince my theme has relatively solid microformats support, and I have plugin infrastructure to allow easy syndication from my website to Twitter through micropub clients, this last bit for creating Twitter reply contexts helps close some of the loop for me in my syndication workflow while keeping as much context across platforms.\nExample\nHere\u2019s a visual example of a native post on my site and the corresponding syndicated copy on Twitter.

And just like that the episode of West Wing I was watching on Netflix ended and it wouldn't play the next one. Fortunately I can skip over to HBO Max, and there's the entire series, so I can keep watching from there.

Fascinating to see how the school reopening question is playing out in a wealthy school district with some serious resources most school systems don't have.
