Me—an em-dash user? I could never!

Serious question:

Would you maybe be open to taking macOS into account when you mention which platforms a game is coming out for?

Like for instance, at 24:14 into today’s TWiV ep., you mention that Gradius Origins is “coming out for all platforms”—but as far as I can tell, there’s no macOS port?

Texas is finally letting us drive cute, Japanese mini trucks legally Texas joins 28 other states that allow enthusiasts to register and drive imported kei cars on state roads.

Fun story from me in @chron.com: Texas just became the latest state to allow residents to legally register and drive kei trucks and cars on state roads. It joins Colorado, which will begin registrations in 2027: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Ohoo—sweet!

That app looks aaamazing, and I think you might’ve nailed it!

Do I know any edibuddies who are into birding who could help me identify the bird that’s making this call? I just think it sounds really pretty, and I was curious about what kind of bird it might be.

(I’d normally go straight to Molly McCowan, but I’m not sure if she’s on BlueSky?)

I might guess that it could be for disambiguation—so that an “I” in those stand-alone contexts wouldn’t be confused for a “1” or the like?

Oh, fascinating—I like the sound of that! #ACESchat

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d love to see comics let go of that conceit of the double hyphen in lieu of em dashes—it’s not like we don’t all know that computers are used for layout and typesetting for comics nowadays, right?

#ACESchat

Happy to help bring #ACESChat to Bluesky for the first time!

I know the platform is groaning under the giant flood of new users, so if any of my responses are slow today, that will be why.
