Your Mid-Week Experiment
Welcome to your always free, reader-supported edition of The Experiment where we share great things to read, cook, listen to, and watch. As always, this bugga free.
Let’s get right to it:
“Everything that is not already television is turning into television.” -Derek Thompson (free link)
Love this headline —> “Her Optimism Has Won Her Some of the Most Powerful Enemies in the World” -M. Gessen (gift link)
“…a liberal historian … believes that the past cannot be altered and that a correct knowledge of history is valuable as a matter of course. From the totalitarian point of view history is something to be created rather than learned.” -George Orwell (free link)
“When asked what one piece of advice I’d give young people, I offer ‘Nothing is as good or as bad as it seems.’ Our economy rests on the belief that AI is even better than it seems.” -Scott Galloway (free link)
“What is happening to us is as serious as a guillotine. We must harness our best creative, humorous and frivolous selves in order to keep it from falling.” -Gary Shteyngart (gift link)
“I want to have my life back.” -Marc Maron (free link)
If Quentin Tarantino made a direct-to-video buddy action movie, it’d be Play Dirty.
I may have squealed in Central Market when I heard this.
We set up a merch table in the back where you can get T-shirts, coffee mugs, and even tote bags now. Show the world that you’re part of The Experiment.
