📝 It is annoying that one has to consider whether one’s writing style and use of certain punctuation like the em-dash will make it seem like it was authored by an AI tool. In some situations I might care more, but I’m leaning towards not GAF. 😛

@jezlyn I have had conversations with some eloquent students about their use of em-dashes in AI scanning software for assignments. "Ms, I will never give up my em-dashes."
@jellycrystals hehe
Tangentially I feel the same about using the sparkle emoji that’s been co-opted by AI services. Sometimes it’s the only emoji I feel is appropriate! ✨
@jezlyn I am so invested. Who wins the war? Will there be part 2?!
@jellycrystals Heh, yeah I saw a headline that a part 2 is already in the works.
@jellycrystals My bad! It’s not yet certain, but the star is excited about the prospect of a part 2 and potentially a franchise: https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2026/03/09/an-update-on-netflixs-war-machine-2-from-alan-ritchson/
@jellycrystals I mainly watched for Alan Ritchson. We liked him in the Reacher TV show. 🙂
