New series on Your Improv Brain starting now. I'm covering the top of the scene, initiations, and base reality over the next few episodes. This first one is about ditching exposition and starting your scenes with momentum. Partner and solo exercises included. Find at improvupdate.com/improvbrain

"YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT HEATED RIVALRY?" in Fern's accent is the most glorious sound ev.r

I would probably actually watch hockey if it were 3-on-3 all the time.

This is the first time the US has won hockey gold since 1980. Jack Hughes scored the game-winning goal. The last player cut from the 1980 team was ... Jack Hughes.

No, you're crying over a curling match

New conversation starters to get my attention: "So what's your thoughts on trying the double peel." "Line's good." "HARD! HARD! HAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDD." #curling

The King of England is talking about criminal charges for his own brother (for his association with Epstein) meanwhile America can't even get rid of Howard fucking Lutnick

(lips pressed incomprehensibly close to the microphone) Bunghazi

Interesting story but I don’t see what him being bi has anything to do with it.

"The American in just his second Olympics." Oh, JUST HIS SECOND OLYMPICS?

(AP) Punxsutawney Phil has been indicted on 17 counts of wire fraud.

For the love of God, @phlaimeaux.bsky.social just say what the cheeses on the plate are. It's only two of them. He can't stop you. Just say their names! End this madness.

Me to my wife this morning: What are you going to make with that chicken in the fridge? *instant regret sets in* *a beat* Her: Chicken

More evidence that WDYDY is the center of the universe. The other day, I saw an old video of @phlaimeaux.bsky.social doing "I sent the text to the person the text was about." Today I texted Happy Birthday to a guy I know. He is a twin. He replied to me passing my sentiments on to his twin brother.

A high-school student in 2085: "So, wait, the war started because of Greenland? You're making this up, teach "

Gotta respect the hustle of a local nonprofit which posted "Congrats to our CEO for being featured on PR Newswire" and linked to a press release they submitted (and probably paid for).

The bully threatening to steal my lunch and I are having a fundamental disagreement about whose food it is.

Went to get some stacking chairs for a non-profit tabling outside our theater on Halloween. Misjudged how snug they were stacked. Top bar went right into my face. Black eye.

Maybe it's really the FIFA Piece Prize because he bombs a piece of every country eventually.

How I'm walking out of 2025

Just binged "Happiness" on PBS. Jesus, fuck. Watch this hysterical show, especially if you are theater or musical theater adjacent. An absolute banger (and only six episodes so like not even three hours of your time).

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

[sitting on a folding chair backwards] sure, you think you know Mr. Brightside, but I'd like to tell you about a guy who came out of his CAVE and is doing just fine

Full marks to @kentremendous.bsky.social for getting a dig at Mike Elias into Man on the Inside.

Party time on the ISS

The casting of Max Greenfield as a smarmy college president in Season 2 of Man on the Inside is one of the most inspired choices as well as one of the easiest slam dunks of all time.

christmas on bluesky

A template for every holiday with my wife's family. Person: (describes something they enjoy) Them: Agrees mildly and then tells extensive stories of when that thing or a similar thing disappointed them Happy holidays?

I like to keep up with friends who have moved away, but I don't like it when the reason is to make sure their kid didn't die in a school shooting at their college. #fuckguns

Go Navy Beat Army Fuck Trump

I want to see the CCR ratings, the TMBG ratings and the GWAR ratings.

CLINTNH1.BMF

How do you fuck up Jordan?

Infantino is an amateur. Sepp Blatter would have made trump give him an award.

Respect to Wayne Gretzky for not preparing for this at all. You miss 100% of the pronunciations you don't practice for.

I will die if this opportunity to take part in the wide cultural experience of the World Cup ends up with the US in a group with Australia, Scotland and Ireland. 😂

Japan-Netherlands could be spicy

Australia is a nice draw

His name is Rio, finds it hard to understand. So here's some schoolkids come to lend a helping hand.

Seriously, these folks are the best www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtkO...

The BBC Scotland guy (I think he's a comedian) just said the panel looked like a weird game of FMK

Big Soccer edgelord circa 2004

"I know I'm not allowed to swear, but this is the closest I have come to it all day." BBC Scotland presenter watching this dumbass sketch with Infantino and Rio

My streams are misaligned and I am listening to the BBC Scotland people thinking the draw will be starting when, in reality, it is time for Lauryn Hill. They were so hopeful the pomp and circumstance was done. (No shade to her - just they are tired of the spectacle in the best Scottish way.)

OK, now we move onto trying to avoid hearing Alexi Lalas speak

"For all I know, this guy could have been on Saved by the Bell," BBC Scotland commentator watching the TV broadcast of the draw interviewing someone.

It's criminal that Troy Deeney hasn't legally changed his name to Troydini

I just want to know two things about this draw. 1. Warn me when Trump might speak so I don't have to listen to that dickhead. 2. Tell me exactly when they will start pulling ping pong balls. That's all I give a shit about.
