Tooth and Naily Fights and Plenty of Laughter A Writer Couple Conversation about Art, Love and Selfishness

"The writer is as old as the philosopher and therefore not 'new world' and in this new world of endless scrolling, conspiracy theories, and drooling remakes of franchise flicks, the act of 'thinking' or 'conjuring' is old world magic." open.substack.com/pub/zonamote...

I am mildly bemused by the number of people convinced that NYC is a crime-riddled hellscape who are now convinced that a Mamdani win means NYC will become…a crime-riddled hellscape.
