Em-dash-loving humans forever. They will never take my em dash away from me. They call me Emily becuause I use dashes as much as Emily Dickinson. And because my name is Emily.

I thoroughly—very much so— enjoyed this post, and makes me want to—as I'm sure it does many—write a blog post—or toot—with em dashes. In fact—I would love to learn the alt code—could you add it—maybe—am I using it correctly—or are there no rules? Have a great—fabulous—day

@Emily Equally valid reasons to call you Emily then, I will continue to do so

@fri11s Looks perfect—I really think this will catch on. You see—even the most routine comment looks refined—considered—yet demure. Surely—a new standard is born.

Anyway alt-0151 for ems, or 0150 for ens.

I must know what this means for the future of emoticons

Longer noses? :—)

Ooh, I think I've seen an AI model definitely using those a lot, but I didn't know it was a wider thing. Also, I thought it had been trained wrong since there was no space between the words and the em-dash, but that's how it's used correctly in English? In Finnish you're supposed to separate the dashes from the words with a space, apart from some cases like compound words.

Depends! Hyphens always get a space (except for compound words like you mentioned), as do en dashes. No spaces for em dashes is more traditional I believe, but I've seen it both ways so now I'd say it's personal preference!

No David Letterman Top 10s on a list of 10s? I'd start a big comment section fight right here if I did not fear confrontation and also respect your opinions.

No way, I'm not shilling for my competition over here

We are so back.

Hell yeah!!

I just read a New Yorker essay on original texts and their role for readers in the modern age, but what the author failed to understand is that AI is not the intermediary- the intermediary is Skep.

I love this book. Part of my childhood

Three chapters in and not a single Muppet has shown up yet?

I knew SOMEone was going to call me out on the Muppets

I think I am going to pick this up on Steam, you really sold this as a charming little game!

This seems like an interesting game 👀 I hope you dropped a review for the devs as well! I'm sure they would appreciate the constructive criticism! I've also never seen a Playdate before. Seems like a cool console, but unfortunately not within my budget :')

I understand! But if it ever is in budget, it's just a cute way to play some thoughtful games and use your phone for one less thing. Nice, but ultimately extraneous!
