After updating Servo's embedding API, servoshell can now display favicons for different tabs! It's a small thing but it makes the browser feel much more complete. github.com/servo/servo/...

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

After a lot of fiddling around with the stylo integration, i finally got @servo.org to lay out the contents of `<slot>` elements! It may not look like much, but it makes custom elements in servo significantly more powerful :D [Here's the code for the demo image](t.ly/kTLPS)
