A bit shocked that the top comment is an archive.ph URL. www.newyorker.com articles have looked perfect in a Javascript-free text-only browser (links) for nearly 15 years. Heck, I even tested this article in a popular graphical browser with Javascript disabled. Looks fine. The only domains required are www.newyoker.com and media.newyorker.com.

The high cost of always-on Javascript and always-on cookies these days is astounding. Either that or folks really love archive.ph for some reason.^1

1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive.today The site gets blocked in certain countries. It appears the operator uses Cloudflare "bot" protection, too, in an attempt to force users to enable Javascript.

The archive.ph URL is archived at archive.org where one can see the Cloudflare interstitial requiring the user to enable Javascript and solve a CAPTCHA
