Very exciting if you're a huge nerd
I’m super excited about `text-wrap: pretty`. It does a lot more to improve typography than you might expect — at least in Safari Technology Preview 216.
It improves all lines of text, not just the last 4. It enhances hyphenation & rag, not just avoiding short last lines.

Better typography with text-wrap pretty
Support for text-wrap: pretty just shipped in Safari Technology Preview, bringing an unprecedented level of polish to typography on the web.

Since learning about Curtis Yarvin, been getting a wee bit freaked out seeing how much his influence has submerged deep into the consciousness of America's new leaders.

There's now a second ad covering a PJ & Duncan song. What's gone wrong?
I keep getting an ad on YouTube that has a cover of a PJ & Duncan song and I want to see the person who commissioned a new PJ & Duncan cover to advertise holiday cottages

why'd they give them such a cute name
Plastic is often transported in tiny pellets known as nurdles. These tend to drift as they are transported. They end up in waterways, and on beaches. They end up in fish and they end up in us. Increasingly it's a public health issue. /2
