Your Mid-Week Experiment
Happy Thanksgiving!
Welcome to the 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.
This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for you! Yes, you! OK, enough of that. Let’s get to it:
Bob Odenkirk once said that it’s impossible for men to be both attractive and funny. Is this still true? Special appearance in this piece by Misha Collins. (Jason Zinoman)
REI doesn’t want unions because of vibez. (Bloomberg)
“Woke” ain’t working as a political attack anymore. Have you noticed? (Dave Weigel)
Maybe we should do something about the guns. (Washington Post)
Fellow Travelers brought home to me what it must have been like to experience homophobia in the ‘50s.
For All Mankind is back, baby.
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.
