"You can wager on war, elections, awards shows, reality TV, scientific progress, and—in the case of writer Carrie Sun—your own spouse. If you want to play, you have to wonder: Are you smarter than an inside trader?"

Tool: <click-to-play> — a still that plays

A progressive enchantment Web Component that turns this markup:

It's using the Python bindings for the experimental tailscale-rs library. I filed an issue asking if there's a cleaner way of setting up the proxy mechanism.

"A Rio Grande Valley murder case was botched and evidence lost by local police and by Texas Rangers. Will anyone ever be held responsible?"

Disclosure Day surely sets a world record for the number of Spielberg Faces.
