“Susan is one of my favorite people on substack or anywhere. We don’t always agree, but when we don’t, I go back to the drawing board because she’s a great writer and thinker, and she does the research that I almost certainly have not done. Some of substack’s finest media criticism, and among the very few writers who can get me to watch a show or movie I didn’t want to see. You probably need Susan in your life; I know I did. ”
