I have never thought about it that way but now I'm not going to be able to not to. How do I unread a post?

`text-wrap: balance` on headings looks bad without `text-align: center` - always makes me think somebody sloppily inserted <br> elements there. Lost count of how many times I brought DevTools up to see what went wrong with that heading to wrap like that... oh, it just has `text-wrap-balance` set!

One of our best security experts sums it up:
Worth stating simply what’s happening. An American government is launching a full-scope political & economic assault on an ally repelling an ongoing invasion to compel them to terminate martial law, topple their president, hand over minerals to America & accept a ceasefire w/out security guarantees.

The mistake is to think Zelensky could have salvaged this. Trump admin just doesn’t want to support Ukraine. Period. There was also never going to be a peace agreement. That’s been clear but everyone has been pretending otherwise. There can be no confusion now.

As hurtful as it sounds, the United States is siding with Russia by demanding Ukrainian resources and threatening with action for refusal to comply. We are being robbed by the world's two largest nuclear powers. Welcome back to the 21st-century Molotov-Ribbentrop reality

Starlink in Ukraine operates based on paid contracts. If it’s being used as an extortion tool, then other countries should consider it a potential security risk - just like Russian gas used for blackmailing. If Ukraine is cut off, it would be wise for Europe to reconsider its use

Does anyone remember how JD Vance traveled to Germany to meet with alt-right political party "AfD", which holds anti-NATO and pro-Russia positions, after Musk repeatedly and publicly backed them, interfering in another country's ongoing elections?

Putting aside the fact that this is nonsense, since Ukraine's constitution prohibits elections during wartime and biggest opposition figures are against elections right now, note how Musk is never concerned about democracy in Russia and China. After all, it might jeopardize Tesla sweatshops in China

Much has been written about Russia's economy, but even well-regarded Western outlets have only scratched the surface. Frustrated by shallow analysis, our team interviewed a former deputy energy minister to get the full picture:
