I wish Love were Simple, but I am coming to the distressing conclusion that if you fall deeply and passionately in love with something, you're also going to fall deeply and passionately in hate with it.
Someone needs to completely re-write the Operating System of Love and fix this very big problem.
But I have loved and hated The New Yorker for many decades. It is the best. It is the most amazing. It is the most boring. It is the most dangerously wrong. It is the bravest. It is the most cowardly. It gives me unbelievably delicious pleasures. It infuriates me.
