Your Mid-Week Experiment
Sorry I didn’t get an essay out last weekend. 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:
“The sole regret that I have is allowing myself to be convinced, for a time, that my cause was hopeless. I wish I had started sooner.” -Nina Jackowicz (free link)
“Cindy Bi is not supposed to be telling me this story.” -Emi Nietfeld, whom I’ve written about before, with a banger of a lede followed by a devastating story (gift link)
“The Big Lebowski Friendship Test” -Olga Khazan (free link)
“He speaks like a strongman, acts like a caudillo, and governs like a man convinced that the institutions of the republic exist only to serve him.” -Alan Friedman (free link)
Nothing wrong with this movie at all. They could spin crowd-pleasing sequels off as long as these actors remain able.
Jack Quaid has funny bones.
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.
