“I used to think everyone opposed war. Then I realized some people actually want it — especially those who don’t have to go.” Erich Maria Remarque (1898–1970), German novelist

NO FLUID was found in Nolan Wells' lungs or airways, per the autopsy report by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner. How do you die by "accidental drowning" if there is no water in your lungs?

Imagine needing validation so badly that you threaten to tear down another President’s memorial unless they put your name on it. The level of fragile ego it takes to pull a stunt like this is genuinely unhinged.

Well, I love writing in a short, rhythmic style. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Countless authors I love write that way. — Authors whose books AI has used to copy from and train on.

In contrast, I use a pair of em dashes (within a sentence) or a single em dash at the end of a sentence to deliberately set apart a standalone addition and give it space to make its impact. 😉

Andrea Junker @strandjunker.com · 14/09/2026
Everyone might handle this differently. I use parentheses for direct, additional explanation or information regarding what was just written.

Andrea Junker @strandjunker.com · 14/09/2026
In any case, I use em dashs deliberately, and I am absolutely certain that many other writers do the same.

Andrea Junker @strandjunker.com · 14/09/2026
I find it absurd that the em dash is now widely perceived as an indicator of AI use. I have used it since childhood; it is part of my writing style. Sometimes inserting a brief aside within a sentence, at other times emphasizing the conclusion of a thought.
Screenshot of a post on X by Malte Ubl (@cramforce): “AI slop has fundamentally changed how I experience reading.

I now notice the tells everywhere. The short, punchy sentences. The relentless groups of three. The em dashes—the unnecessary little asides.

And once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

The worst part? My brain now flags perfectly innocent human writing as AI slop too. AI hasn’t just made me enjoy bad writing less. It’s made me suspicious of all writing.

That’s a real loss.”

President Obama killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Donald Trump invited the Taliban to hang out at Camp David on 9/11, freed 5,000 of their elite fighters from prison, and tried to kill Mike Pence. We should never forget that.

Look at this loathsome repulsive creature yelling at a reporter. In addition to the fact that he’s the worst president in US history, he’s one of the worst human beings on planet earth. His supporters have a very serious defect in their character.

Job applicants are using AI to write resumes and prep interview answers. Companies are using AI to screen those applications and conduct initial interviews. We’ve officially automated both sides of a process meant to measure human connection. The irony is genuinely unreal.
