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:
Anyone still wondering why young men swung toward Donald Trump should read this. (User Mag)
“The Long Telegram” of post-Soviet diplomatic lore has finally been published. (National Security Archive)
This is a good start, but there’s a lot more to write about how Zuck et al have bent the knee. (Washington Post)
Attention is the new power in politics. (Ezra Klein)
Kudos to Emily Ramshaw on her incredible success. (The 19th*)
“Digital culture is reshaping our faces and bodies.” (Elise Hu)
Oof. Good stuff.
This movie knows exactly what it is and delivers on it.
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.
