Substack is really showing us how important editors are.

Agree, but right now, I really want the old Jezebel for Crap Substack from a Dude.

They'll Take Manhattan | John Romano, Joan Didion To the Editors: What piques screenwriter Joan Didion so much about those large, enthusiastic audiences Woody Allen gets is that they seem to recognize
