Just had a client ask me to help in removing some em dashes from her copy because she doesn’t want it to be mistaken for AI, and I just feel like we as a culture need to do more to claw the em dash back. Do not obey in advance!!!!!

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
