The en dash responds …

P.S. And for the record: I am not a whore. I am a matchmaker. Ask any calendar.

You think I showed up with ChatGPT?
Mary Shelley used me… gratuitously.
Dickinson? Obsessed.
David Foster Wallace built a temple of footnotes in my name.

I am not some sleek, futuristic glyph.

I am the battered, coffee-stained backbone of writerly panic—the gasping pause where a thought should have ended but simply could not.

P.S. You’re probably thinking of the en dash. That whore has always been suspicious.

The people I grew up with

have doctorates
have children
have spouses
have divorces

have careers
have died
have lived

and me? I have done
some of the dishes

Time management isn’t about time at all.
It’s about priorities.

@dabeaz There was a perfectly serviceable car metaphor (that he did use, at the very end.)

But until then it was just hour upon hour of dismembering Mabel!

#Ruckus should actually have been called “Mabel dies in the end”

And after showing us such a beautiful picture of Mabel 😢

aka reasons I hate @dabeaz 😂

Been using a web browser / GUIs in some shape or form since the late 90s. and i just blanked on the word scrollbar. (I needed the word, because I wanted them to be visible always in Firefox)

I had to go looking for window side, up-down thing.
