Your Mid-Week Experiment
Welcome to all the new subscribers! This is your always free, reader-supported mid-week edition of The Experiment where we share great things to read, cook, listen to, and watch. If you’d like to support my work, buy my Alamo book, buy some Experiment merch, drop some coins in the PayPal fountain, or become a paid subscriber. But even if you don’t, this bugga free.
Let’s get right to it:
Remind me never to piss off Harvey Kronberg. (Harvey Kronberg)
Maybe we’re thinking about divorce all wrong. We’re definitely thinking about marriage wrong. (Lyz Lenz)
I could not love this episode more:
This was the most lovely and innocent thing you’ll ever read about the F word. (Simran Jeet Singh)
I do so hope this turns out to be an exception to Betteridge's law of headlines. (Politico)
After initial resistance, I succumbed to this song’s charms.
Been watching a lot of shows featuring Nazi resisters, lately. I’m sure it’s a coincidence. This show strikes a not-completely serious tone, which is a little jarring but mostly welcome.
This is empirically awesome.
I loved the book. I enjoyed some of the performances here, but the story was rushed.
This is sort of like if Game of Thrones and Last Samurai had a baby. I did not care for Game of Thrones, and if I have ever seen Last Samurai all the way through, the experience has been wiped from my hard drive. Take from this what you will.
Nolo contendre.
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.
We’ve also got a tip jar, and I promise to waste every cent you give me on having fun, because writing this newsletter for you is how I have fun.
