Why does every isekai anime have: - a loner protagonist who insists on going solo, but is secretly super OP - an elf girlfriend who falls for the hero instantly - a demon king
Point reyes is already mostly dark skies, but we’re making it official next year. These were taken from my cabin in Inverness.
Super proud to announce that I am part of the Stowe Story Labs 2025 Fall/Winter Roster for the TV Writers Room with my limited series biopic, “Controlled Conditions.” Excited to work on this project with this amazing cohort of screenwriters and advisors!
Does Vulfpeck have any other songs as good as Dean Town? I just heard it and now it’s on infinite repeat in my brain. But their other top songs on iTunes aren’t really doing it for me.
My weird combo of takes: - The original Last of Us was 100% perfect. - The story of Last of Us II frustrating and unsatisfying. Many of the intended emotional beats didn't land. Finished it but was bad. - The Last of Us show is doing a much better job of delivering on those emotional beats from II.

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. webkit.org/blog/16547/b...
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.

With Safari 18.4 shipping Ogg container support for both Opus and Vorbis, did Safari just pull into first place when it comes to media format support??

There it is! Finally, a real solution for how to style all of the HTML form controls using your own custom CSS to change anything — building on an interoperable UA set of defaults. First, styling the in-page part of controls + the popover for <select>. (Later we’ll do popovers for more things.)
One of the oldest arguments against giving any rights or process to the people we accuse is — one constantly “rediscovered” by the shallow and the dim — is “well they didn’t give their victims any rights or process.” That’s fatuous. /1
Every time I think Trump can't go lower he finds a way.
Radley Balko@radleybalko.bsky.social · last yr.If cartels are "terrorists" and fentanyl is a "WMD," then those terms have no meaning. Also, Trump is probably going to invade two of our allies soon.
The next president needs to disband ICE and rebuild immigration enforcement from the ground up.
Aura Bogado@aurabogado.bsky.social · last yr.A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...
Hilariously craven. Democrats invoked a law allowing Congress to override Trump’s “national emergency” declaration, which allows him to impose unilateral tariffs. Requires a vote within 15 days. To avoid a vote, the GOP declared that the entire rest of this year will just be one very long day.
