Texture of New York: a worn, metal traffic control box with vibrant stickers (a furry pink round cartoon guy, a pink skull with a β€œgreater than” symbol instead of a nose, a white promo sticker for a New York foodie instagram account) and flyers for clubs and party venues. Graffiti in yellow, pink, and black is all over the box.

Screengrab from the Simpsons. Leonard Nimoy has just stopped Krusty from jumping out of a moving monorail. They're both sitting on the edge of the open sliding doors, with the wind whipping past them at high speed. Krusty looks shocked, dumbfounded, on the verge of tears. Nimoy grimaces, telling Krusty "No. The world needs laughter."

For anyone thinking of abandoning their creative work because it seems frivolous in the face of grim times to come, Nimoy has words for you.
