The towers of the cathedral were a fistful of magic flames in the light of the setting sun.

dreaming of rain
receding water line

lure the fish
without catching

cicada song
swelling in the trees
docks rock

announce an absurdity

cool whip clouds
cows seek shade
summer’s return

highlight the imperfect

@manton There's some speculation the government could decide Google needs to make its index public. Made me think of all your recent posting on AI and robots.txt.

@warner I subscribe to the Clark Strand approach: a haiku is anything you can get away with in 17 syllables or less

@manton @curiousmarketersclub

@odd seems like the black/white/red combo has been a staple for years, but it does feel like most of what I've seen recently has been the minimal black-white style. Maybe some red accents.

@manton and first game of the postseason on Tuesday

@odd what’s your preferred color?

I choose based on which colorway doubles as a rescue beacon should I fall and hit my head, especially for trail shoes

@odd thanks! I keep trying to think of a scenario it doesn’t work for, no luck so far.

@ladyhope it feels like a change has to be coming for search indexes and SEO

@ladyhope have you tried NetNewsWire? Their docs say they have accessibility via AppKit. I think for web syncing you have to set it up on a server though.

@manton it kind of feels like Teenage Engineering noticed this gap and decided to make a business out of it

@ladyhope I desperately needed this function the other day when trying to recover a webpage for a client and couldn’t find it. The site was too new to be in any of the other archives either. This is one of the things I like about Micro.blog, it’ll send all your new posts to the Internet Archive by default.

(I was able to recover the page thanks to a weird quirk of the site platform they use.)

@ladyhope I only use Google to check stuff for clients (typically when they reference where they’re ranking or need Maps help) or if I just want to see what the search results page is looking like.

I also still miss Google Reader (despite liking the other RSS tools I’ve discovered just fine).

@manton while I don’t disagree, it’s interesting to note that, of all the major digital ad platforms, consumers report amazon being their most preferred platform to see ads on

@JohnPhilpin and a very different customer base with different expectations

@JohnPhilpin agree, value is the key. But retail consumers have been trained into sales. Look at what happened to JCP when they tried to go the Apple route and stop running sales.

@Denny mushrooms are the coolest

@odd guess so. Or they’ll start asking us to draw a horse, and if it turns out good they’ll know it’s a bot.

@manton I’m a (life long) Celtics fan, but I’ve kind of given up

@tcannonfodder mycelium, what can’t they do?

@manton my favorite bedtime ritual

@hollyhoneychurch i chant, you chant, we call chant for gregorian chants!

@pdxmph love this shot, the lines and colors are great

@manton I’m more than confident in you and @jean on the marketing and measurement front, but happy to help out. Especially with podcast ads, been wanting to test that space out more. Just let me blog about it 😉

@mbeaver33 thanks! It’s a fun tree to shoot

@manton I'm with @danielpunkass on not being confident on the SSL renewal
