Here's what "atndigcrk" the user who posted Louis CK's new special to The Pirate Bay wrote to go along with the torrent file:
yea its the new one yea i kinda feel bad putting it here but people like louis ck gotta realize without torrents and the net he wouldnt be anywhere bc honestly louis i know ur here and i know u mite be mad at me but u gotta realize not everyone has paypal , not everyone has credit cards, some people use net lounges, some have barely money for food, art = comedy should be shared with the mass , and Believe me u can judge the popularity more from the torrent downloads then the paypal sales, also if people like it , its easier to buy on there ipad/ipod or personal/work computers…more buzz = more fales Hope you understand louie sorry
Here's my official response:
SHUT UP, IDIOT.
this guy's a fucking retard who shouldn't be allowed to own a computer.
Ugh, sometimes the world is awful. Does this jerk really think that Louis CK is at the stage at his career where he cares more about exposure than money to feed his kids? Besides, what's more exposure going to get him? Maybe if he gets famous enough he'll be able to do a comedy special that entitled assholes like this will put on the internets! Keep the dream alive, Louis!

Apartment 9-11 of the Day: Set to open in Seoul's Yongsan Business District in 2015, these MVRDV-designed luxury residential towers have what is meant to be a pixelated cloud-shaped bridge connecting the two high-rises.
From this angle, however, it looks rather like something else. Something that happened on the 11th of September, 2001.
What do you think? Poor taste or pareidolia?

I just finished reading Anders Nilsen's giant Big Questions book and it's definitely one of my favorite comics of the year. You can get more information about the book, including a PDF preview here: http://www.drawnandquarterly.com/shopCatalogLong.php?st=art&art=a412a2ff93b8e2

I know he's mostly famous for being Col. Potter on M*A*S*H but he was also Friday's partner Frank Gannon on Dragnet. Goodbye, funnyman…

My favorite album of the year was Avi Zee's Ghostbird. She has a fantastically soothing, beautiful voice.

Near as I can tell: They used the back up hyperdrive to get to Bespin which would have still taken them awhile but it does in fact mean Luke only got a few weeks of training. But Yoda specifically mentions that Luke has not had all of his training when he
Luke's training being incomplete raises another problem: when we rejoin Luke at the beginning of Return of the Jedi he seems to have made huge strides toward being a proper Jedi. He seems calmer, he's using his mind trick to get past guards, etc.
We know he didn't go back to Yoda or talk to Obi-Wan because if he did he presumably would've addressed the issue of Vader being his father and why they lied to him. The only loophole I can see is that The Force runs strong in the Skywalker family thanks to their (ugh) high midichlorian count so maybe once he got the basics he was able to figure out the rest on his own.
Don't even get me started on the gang's sloppy plan to rescue Han!
