Yes! I see that. I do think “big government” and “christianity” are more...

Louis CK on how pilots are made -- usually. →
third-beat:
Deadline Hollywood reports today that a pilot written by Louis C.K. and Spike Feresten, originally conceived 13 years ago, has been dusted off and picked up by CBS.
Fun fact: before C.K. became a certified Huge Effing Deal, he contributed to comedy-related newsgroups on Usenet (remember that, kids?). He offered up info on everything from how to select the right management, to how to...

His description of how he measured which games were best is what I love about this article.
“Anything can be measured if you don’t have to start out with exactly the right answer. You can get an objective answer to any question if you can accept the fact that somebody else may have a different objective answer that’s just as good as yours. Those of you who wish to point out that...
I talked to DC Pierson for almost 11 minutes →
toyns:
I figured, since he flew all the way from Los Angeles, I would talk to him for twenty seconds longer than I usually do on the Mandolin NYC podcast.
We talk about nicknames, including “Brick Dick.”
DC PIERSON WILL BE ON EVERY PODCAST. STAND NOT IN HIS WAY!
