HALIFAX! I'll be there performing Nov 7th. I'm joined by hilarious guests @lubamagnus.bsky.social (CBC, Grindstone Comedy Fest), Jordan Foisy (This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Vice), & @clarebelford.bsky.social (New York Comedy Festival, Halifax Comedy Festival). 🎟️ 🔗 andrewivimeyhalifax2025.eventbrite.ca
Tired: I get nervous driving behind logging trucks because of that Final Destination scene. Wired: I get nervous driving next to any transport truck because of that Christmas Vacation scene.
The very straight forward Ly named "web site blocker" plugin for chrome. haha. It does what it says on the tin. There might be a better option out there but this is my first timing using one.
I'm trying to make a more conscious effort to never visit websites that replace real writers with AI slop. But it's hard to keep track, especially when quickly using social media or search engines. So I installed a website blocker to start perma-blocking these sites. First up, all Valnet websites.
Well, adding Business Insider to my AI slop auto block list of websites. bsky.app/profile/oliv...
Inventor of the swimming pool: I created this for people to swim in and hang around while looking beautiful. Inventor of the pool chair: This makes every human body fold in on itself in the least flattering way imaginable, when you're at your most vulnerable.
They kept talking about how he's a repairman during the trailer for the Springsteen biopic and this was all I could think about. Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere is going to repair man.
What a stupid dweeb

Second Amendment activists in shock as Charlie Kirk shot instead of just schoolchildren
You put your pants on one leg at a time like MOST people, not everyone. I put my pants two legs at a time using a very complicated Ferris Buellerian Rube Goldberg machine I've setup. I'm built different.
Comedians in Dungeons Getting Dragons Season 2 Episode 18 is up! In this episode the Top Guns try to defeat Lamentia (but she has other plans)!

A rare Warner Bros W. Feels weird to root for a corporation, but if they win this, it becomes a very big domino falling along the way to destroying this slop and its sloplords.

Gonna drop a thread with some good books I've been reading this year and a few thoughts on them. Gonna try to update with new books throughout the year if I remember.
Just read Madeline Miller's short Novella Galatea and it's like a speed run to crying. Beautiful. My favourite author ❤️

The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.
Happy Labor Day 🙂
I can't sit for too long cuz of my back

If you've been enjoying Alien Earth and want more creepy vibes Alien The Cold Forge was a fun read. Captures the atmospheric fear created by both alien and corporate creeps. And how neither of which (corporations & xenomorphs) care about you.
Me (The dumbest man ever invited to a focus group): I hate it when appliances are too complicated. Company: This is our new easy to use pancake maker, there's only one button that says "On." Me: ... IN ENGLISH DOC!
If you put enough spice in there it was like spicy erasers and that got me through some hard times. Haha. Not a lot of other veggie options in Newfoundland at the time.
Sad to hear it's the end of Yves veggie meats. They were never a perfect product. But they were always there for me. Small town vegetarians with limited options all across Canada leaned on you for 2 decades. RIP flawed faux meat King. www.vancouverisawesome.com/food-and-dri...

What a great night to have! Hot damn.

I read your newsletter and thought "this is gonna be a good bit" then when I read in the news they changed it back I legitimately mumbled to myself "aww fuck, I hope this doesn't hurt Josh's premise."
Me: This is where I am mentally... Them: You didn't show us anything? Me: Yeah there's nothing going on up there.
It's USA vs Canada in every car commercial I see lately, and they play both sides depending on which country you see it in.
Remember when B&Bs used to give breakfasts? You used to get a breakfast. Then Airbnb came along and was like "No breakfast! AND! You get charged a $40 cleaning fee if you bring in an outside Croissant" At some point we lost the first B in B&B and I that's when things fell apart (moreso)

Sloppy Joe's should be served in hot dog buns, not hamburger buns. We ad a society need to correct this simple structural mistake.
Yesterday my sky diving instructor found out I was a stand up comedian and said with full sincerity "That's really scary, I could never do something like that" then jumped out of a plane at 13,000 feet. The human brain is wild y'all.

Every airline in the world is equally terrible to the point that comparing reviews is useless. Should I fly airline A? Reviews - Delayed flight, baggage lost, no one answers the phone What about airline B? Reviews - Delayed flight, baggage lost, no one answers the phone Airline C? YOU GET THE IDEA
Barclay needs a whole team of help. Guinan, Deanna, Beverley. Anybody who'll listen.
Been rewatching TNG and nobody wants to go to the ships counsellor with their problems. Guinan however...
The worst sleep combo is being physically tied but mentally wired. When your body and muscles are exhausted and sink into the bed begging for sleep, but the mind is like "Hey! You got any big long term projects you'd like to think about in detail right now!? I want that!"
Once it hits over 30 degrees outside we're all the soup of the day.
Is it cool to have a bluetooth speaker playing? An easy test. MY vs THE. MY backyard 👍 THE park 👎 MY car 👍👍 THE bus 👎👎 MY bath 👍👍👍 THE beach 👎👎👎
Last night I had a dream I was at a bar drinking. When I woke up this morning I tried to go back to sleep to get in the same dream, because I felt bad I didn't settle up my bill. Which says a lot about how I function as a person.
Hal-Con 2025 just got even better. Diana McCallum, co-creator of Texts From Superheroes and Sex Lives of Superheroes, will be joining us this fall. Get ready for a weekend of laughs, fandom, and unforgettable moments. #HalCon2025

Me talking to the first bird after I refill the bird feeder...
Parastie Eve. I did not know until recently that the 90's video game series was (loosely) based on a Japanese horror novel. A wildly varying tone. It starts a sincere and tragic contemplation on loss, then very scientific, transitions to weirdly sexual, then grossly horrifying. I really enjoyed it.
Me: I'm tough, I'm resilient, I can do anything as long as I keep my cool. Personal trainer: That's great. Time for Bulgarian Split Squats. Me: ... I'll kill you
It's the 500th episode of Talk From Superheroes this week so we decided to reminisce about our favourite moments. This is @ivimey.bsky.social number one www.talkfromsuperheroes.com
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping It's so funny, high jokes per minute, the songs are sincerely great, and it's the type of comedy you finish watching and have new recurring joke references with your friends now. Unabashedly silly comedies so often fall into the category.
Biggest "flop" to quality differential in the world is The Thing.
The new Naked Gun movie is incredible. Non stop jokes, great gags, silly stuff that you want to talk about and quote with friends after, 85 minutes long. A perfect comedy. Everybody should go see this in theatres.
I wrote about the WNBA and dildogate for Andscape: “By using the sex toy to make their point, the stunt becomes more than just an annoyance or a danger during play — it becomes a sexualized threat to the women on the court, an allusion to violence that can keep them in their place.”
usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”
Bringing a bluetooth speaker to public places is an easy way to be the least liked person at every event.
Barclay carrying his problems into Ten Forward like
I bring kind of a "I'm the problem" energy to protests that nobody really likes.

Solid advice. I think this is what Icarus was talking about. The S in SPF stands for skydive.
Maybe the second one should have cheese strings. Diversifying the pack may be important.
Going skydiving for the first time next week. I hope they let me pack my own 'chute. I wanna pack a go-gurt in there.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages
Finally, a dating app that doesn't listen, does the wrong thing, makes up who it wants you do be, and costs money. They've distilled the world's worst dates into a single AI.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.
I am hanging on by a rope here. It's better than a thread, it has some good grip, it's not gonna snap, it's a good rope But it'd be nice to standing on firm ground and not hanging on at all.
Oh really, who among us hasn't gone for an unexpected roof walk while thinking about how to dissapear Ghislaine?
I gave a friend a bad hand shake 3 weeks ago and I've thought about it every day since.
Has anybody ever seen Sabrina Carpenter & Sydney Sweeney in the same place? 😯 Am I onto something or just old and out of touch?
