NM Dispatch: America Diaries AW2023 (Pt. 1) by Carly Busta

Carly & Lil Internet reflect on their time, these past 2 weeks, in the USA—mostly in Maryland and Virginia—with spoken monologues on life/death cycles and the spectrum of real vs. simulation.

Part 1, written by Carly, includes notes on flat design and the neo-Catholic church; sports betting and direct-to-consumer prescription pharmaceutical marketing; the failed Renaissance start-up that underwrote Jamestown, Virginia; and how Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone, may save us all.

VA-Route 1, Price William County, Virginia

This is part of one of three America Diaries we’ll be releasing in the coming days. Lil Internet’s monologue is next up, followed by a bonus essay by writer, strategist, and NM member Ian Beckman Reagan.

Regular NM interview pods will resume the following week.
