I've used em-dashes my whole life — they add rhythm and grace to writing. But now they're an AI tell.
Can we get a grandfather clause for those of us who were fluent in em-dashes before ChatGPT launched in November 2022?

@Robertplant61 Play the first notes of Stairway to any Gen-Xer and we hear those high-stakes final moments of a school dance. A core memory. No album triumphed in the way this one did.

@Super70sSports Grateful to have seen him hit one out at a Wrigley with no lights, forty years ago this month. He was awesome. #RIP

Super Sky Point to Ryne Sandberg, my favorite second baseman of all time. I will never forget the countless hours tuned into WGN with Harry Caray and Steve Stone during those beautiful childhood summers that lasted forever. Before we knew how fast time actually flies and that our heroes don’t live forever. He could hit, he could field, and he did it all with class. Ernie Banks may be Mr. Cub but Ryno capably took that mantle for my generation. Somewhere in my heart it’ll always be 1984, Harry will always be three sheets to the wind while looking for blondes in the bleachers between pitches, and Ryne Sandberg will always get the clutch hit or make the great defensive play to save the day. That’s how I remember it because that’s how it was. Nobody ever wore Cubbie blue better. St. Peter, don’t throw this man fastballs. But I’m sure Bruce Sutter already told you that. #RIP

Less than a week to go for the launch of #Apollo11 – I remember that last week before we lifted off (56 years ago) was a busy one with final preparation and testing. Training flights in helicopters, T-38s, and the parabolic aircraft, to time in the Lunar and Command Module simulators and lots of meetings! Meanwhile, the @USNavy conducted several simulation exercises in preparation for our eventual recovery. Legions of great Americans were working around the clock to ensure success. The preliminary @NASA countdown for launch began on July 11.

@Super70sSports Forgot about Householder. He was in every wax pack somehow.

@rabois There was also this prediction from 2016 (which I agreed with at the time). @NateSilver538

@Super70sSports Watched it live on pay per view. After the fight he said: “He had the points, but I made the point. If you can live, you can dream.”

The 1977 CBS NFL Today intro is fucking spectacular. The plays get progressively more illegal and fucked up to the point I was half expecting some guy to just get murdered on the field. It’s like a Naked Gun bit. Do yourself a favor and watch this.
