- text-wrap: balance ✶
-
A CSS rule I did not know existed, useful to avoid orphans — single words after a line break.
Text is wrapped in a way that best balances the number of characters on each line, enhancing layout quality and legibility. Because counting characters and balancing them across multiple lines is computationally expensive, this value is only supported for blocks of text spanning a limited number of lines (six or less for Chromium and ten or less for Firefox).
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {text-wrap:balance;}Found while fussing with the headline in the prior article.

- Airframe Ultra demo ✶
-
Yesterday I briefly played the demo of a 90s-style hoverbike and behelmeted rider racing combat game called Airframe Ultra with my friend Artwo using Steam’s remote play together, and it reminded me of a gritty version of F-Zero. Looking forward to more time with this one.

- Where do we go from here ✶
-
The personal automobile reshaped streets, all but extinguished urban horses and their waste, supplanted local transit and interurban railways, germinated new building typologies, decentralized cities, created exurban sprawl, reduced incidental social contact, gave rise to the Interstate Highway System (bulldozing Black communities in the process), gave everyone lead poisoning, and became a leading cause of death among young people. Many parts of the US are highly car-dependent, even though a third of us don’t drive. As a driver, cyclist, transit rider, and pedestrian, I think about this legacy every day: how so much of our lives are shaped by the technology of personal automobiles, and the specific way the US uses them.
I want you to think about “AI” in this sense.
