> I am not tightly following what's going on in CSS land, since blogs are not the thing and mailing lists became spam lists I don't know where to "listen".

Two resources:

* https://2023.stateofcss.com/en-US/features/

* https://tailwindcss.com/

Keeping track of TailwindCSS updates is nice, even for non-users: since they "live and breathe" CSS, seeing what they are up to is a good strategy to stay current with CSS developments.

Apart from discovering new things, I also learned some obscure CSS features from TW. For instance, I learned about the "isolation" property [1], which is useful for managing stacking contexts in those hair-tearing situations where the "z-index" won't cooperate as expected.
