imagine if politicians followed these rules
The 10 rules of improv are widely recognized guidelines that help performers create engaging, collaborative, and spontaneous scenes.
Say “Yes, and!”
Always accept what your scene partner offers and build upon it, rather than negating or denying it.
Add new information.
Contribute fresh details to move the scene forward, rather than repeating or stalling.
Don’t block.
Avoid rejecting your partner’s ideas or offers; blocking stops the flow of the scene.
Avoid asking questions—unless you’re also adding information.
Questions can stall a scene by putting the burden on your partner; make statements instead to keep things moving.
Play in the present and use the moment.
Focus on the here and now, responding to what is actually happening in the scene.
Establish the location.
Clearly define where the scene is taking place to ground the action and provide context.
Be specific and provide colorful details.
Specificity makes scenes more engaging and believable; avoid vague or generic statements.
Change, Change, Change!
Don’t be afraid to shift the scene or your character; embrace transformation and development.
For serious and emotional scenes, focus on characters and relationships.
Depth comes from exploring how characters relate and react to each other in meaningful ways.
For humorous scenes, take choices to the nth degree or focus on actions/objects.
Heighten the comedy by exaggerating choices or zeroing in on specific actions or props.
These rules are foundational for both beginners and experienced improvisers, encouraging collaboration, creativity, and adaptability on stage. They are not rigid laws, but starting points for building strong improv skills
New report denounces Havana and claims ‘campaign of subversion’ has infiltrated highest levels of US government
"...There is overwhelming evidence that the machinery of the Cuban Government has been progressively organized around… a fundamental hatred of the United States,” the report stated. “Many of the most significant upheavals in recent American political history —from the George Floyd riots to the rise of Antifa to the explosion of pro-terrorist activism on American college campuses— can be linked, in some way, shape, or form to Cuban influence.”
The report doesn’t just hand-wave. It names names. It details how the Venceremos Brigade and other “revolutionary tourism” programs have funneled thousands of American activists to Havana for ideological (and sometimes literal) weapons training.
The Venceremos Brigade has brought 10,000 American activists to Cuba since 1969. This is because nothing says “I am fighting for the oppressed working class” quite ...
Now there is a plan! Of course dumb Canadians will not have the courage to vote with their brains, instead of their propagandized feelings of fear.
Canada’s economy is stalling badly.
We just endured the worst decade for real GDP growth per person since the Great Depression.
Over the past ten years, real GDP per capita limped along at an average of just 0.6% annually.
And Bloomberg’s consensus forecast for 2026? A paltry 0.7%.
Why does GDP matter?
Because family disposable income follows GDP like a shadow. Anemic economic growth resulting from lower investment means stagnant wages. Period.
The Liberals and fake Conservatives won't fix this.
The People's Party has a comprehensive plan to unleash private investment, supercharge productivity, and put more money back into your pocket:
Make the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA) permanent – Let businesses write off capital investments rapidly and skyrocket cash flow.
End Corporate Welfare – Zero subsidies. Zero bailouts. Zero regional ...
