It’s only knock and know all, but I like it.
@Iconfactory Thanks for making Tapestry! Any idea why https://www.electoral-vote.com/index2.rss never shows up in my feed?
@kottke Dry Goods page says, “What it lacks in quality, it makes up for in quality.”
@hotdogsladies I would love to do this, but I have no idea where to start with the whole Plex(?) lifestyle. Perhaps a blog post?
@siracusa Right, agreed on that construction.
It could be that the podcast is about two things. It’s about filmographies. It’s about directors.
But a comma alone wouldn’t feel right in a list of only two things, so the dash gives a stronger break.
Alternatively, and in my ears, it feels like Griffin is interrupting himself to clarify:
Griffin: “It’s a podcast about filmographies—“
Listener: “Which ones?”
Griffin: “—[those of] directors who have massive success…”
And that’s an appropriate em dash to me. But it’s a spoken thing, so the em dash is just how I would try to capture the delivery in writing. It sounds like a stronger break than a comma, and it lets “directors who…” be a dependent clause attached to the complete sentence of “It’s a podcast about…”.
(I’ve thought about this before! 😅)
@siracusa I hear it as an em dash.
“It’s a podcast about filmographies—directors who have massive success and…”
@hotdogsladies Makes me weep!
