It’s Sunday afternoon — your last chance to read all that stuff you meant to read last week before Monday brings a new deluge of things you will want to read. Below, some of our recommendations:
“The Joke’s on Louis C.K.†Dave Itzkoff (The New York Times): The comedian on reaching the “polite nos†level of success.
“The Bad Boy Brand†by Lizzie Widdicombe (The New Yorker): A look at what you can expect from Vice’s new HBO series.
“Why Aren’t Video Game Actors Treated Like Stars?†by David Griner (Polygon): Or at least paid a little bit more like them?
“The Ghost in the Machine†by Alex Pappademas (Playboy): A profile of beloved rapper and on-and-off Dr. Dre collaborator the D.O.C.
“You Didn’t Make the Harlem Shake Go Viral — Corporations Did†by Kevin Ashton (Quartz): It sure never felt natural to us.
