I found @brianphillips.bsky.social's defense of the em dash to be thoughtful, beautifully expressed, and human!!!
Stop AI-Shaming Our Precious, Kindly Em Dashes—Please
Human writers have always used the em dash. In fact, it’s the most human punctuation mark there is.

i am glad that millennials were exposed to enough lazy, decroded "millennials are killing the X industry" articles a decade ago that by and large our response to people doing the same to gen Z is "so what. mind your business"
I have learned that Gen Z expects the person calling to say "hello" first, instead of the person answering; upending a century of phone norms. You know what? fine, I say. Phone calls aren't what they used to be anyway www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-phone-...
Gen Z doesn't say 'hello' when answering the phone. I'm concerned.
Gen Z is making up its own etiquette rules when it comes to answering the phone. Some of them aren't saying "hello." They want you to first.

This could have paid for 15 students to attend all 4 years tuition free, or relieved a years worth of tuition for 50+ students
The University of Michigan spent $800,000 hiring private investigators--one of whom FAKED A DISABILITY--to surveil anti-genocide protesting students. I'm speechless.

“a sex pest beholden to billionaires who doesn’t even live here will fix this city” is helluva message, Jessica.
We’re not going to beat Trump “with hashtags and headlines stunts. We need delivery over dogma,” Jessica Ramos says endorsing Andrew Cuomo. She’s making very clear that this endorsement is about making sure Zohran Mamdani doesn’t win.
