Your Mid-Week Experiment
Welcome to 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:
You’re going to want to find out what “boomerasking” is. (David Robson)
This is a lovely, dark, and note-perfect piece on the Hunter Biden trial. (Monica Hesse)
I’m not the only one waiting for this particular writer’s take on Caitlin Clark. (Sally Jenkins)
People are apparently filming (or pretending to film) Chipotle workers on the theory that they can shame them into serving larger portions. This is the bad place. (The Biblioracle Recommends)
The Book of Clarence kept finding new levels. Recommended.

We Are Lady Parts is reason enough to subscribe to Peabody.
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.
