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.

Our country has been taken over by self-enriching criminals with no regard for the rule of law.
NEW: The US government has collected DNA samples from 133,000+ migrant children and teenagers and uploaded them into CODIS, a national criminal database originally built for convicted sex offenders and violent criminals, according to documents reviewed by WIRED.
The US Is Storing Migrant Children’s DNA in a Criminal Database
Customs and Border Protection has swabbed the DNA of migrant children as young as 4, whose genetic data is uploaded to an FBI-run database that can track them if they commit crimes in the future.

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.

The Saja (with CSL logos?!) are in Paris!
First look at the return of the Saja in Disneyland Paris!
(via pixiedust.be on Instagram)
The costumes are unchanged from their appearance on the Galactic Starcruiser. This is the first time characters from that experience have appeared elsewhere in the parks.

I love it when a plan comes together. First Braack created the story on the #Starcruiser. A few months ago @othermaciej.bsky.social asked for a sticker for #NotALothCat inspired by the Japanese film “House.” Kevin Shoemaker drew it and now we’re swagging #SWCJ with stickers and shirts!

Glad to finally announce a project I’ve been working on for years: the Roxie theater in SF is buying our building! I’m the head of the Capital Campaign, and we’ve already raised 5M of the 7M we need to buy the Roxie. I’d love it if you’d consider donating some money to help us!

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.

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.

Every time I think Trump can't go lower he finds a way.
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.

SCOOP—Trump plans to issue an executive order designating fentanyl as a "Weapon of Mass Destruction," per copy of EO reviewed by me. Source at State speculates purpose is to designate cartels as terrorist orgs/justify military ops in Mexico/Canada.

The next president needs to disband ICE and rebuild immigration enforcement from the ground up.
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.
