iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

ICC T20 Cricket World Cup also has this, and offers an "upside down" experience for Team USA fans, as that team is comprised mainly of naturalized ex-pats, most of which still have day jobs in consulting or IT.

This scene is so good on its own. It's even better when you know the context of where Shoresy started when he got the original mentoring assignment of the "Blueberry Buddies" to this moment.

I'd rather Marquee throw the metaphorical bag at you for "Good night, BYCTOM," a daily late night half hour featuring segments like you auctioning off obscure Cubs Costacos Brothers posters and cackling at Prevagen commercial outtakes.

I get this, but here's where I'm at: Trump & Vance are the worst of us. America is bigger than them, and they win if we let them define us. Team USA is the best of us. It's filled with Americans MAGA hates—first-generation + immigrants, LGBTQ+ athletes, people of color—& I'm gonna root for them.

Braves sign Robert Suarez. Dodgers grab Edwin Diaz. The Chicago Cubs are "checking in" on free agent RHP Cudge Manpretetzel, who is trying to make his comeback after having both arms replaced with aluminum foil in experimental "foiling" procedure

Good point. My understanding is that Polisky handled it under the auspice of Dr. Jim, but I haven't really dug into the timelines of it all. (Also, I thought Polisky's AD aspirations were affected by how the cheerleader/donor harrassment complaints were handled.)

...or those guys would've figured out how to squash it (a la Johnnie Vassar). It was the perfect storm of 2nd choice President + passive AD both of which appeared to have no informal authority. While I wasn't crazy about Fitz in role as HC (4-20 in final 2 years)...

Perhaps this is too hypothetical: If Shapiro/Dr. Jim were in role when that complaint was filed, I'd imagine the investigation would've been completed and probably could've executed enough discipline and they had enough relationship that Fitz would've accepted it...

Perhaps the only redeeming quality of being a Northwestern fan is being the target audience for @byctom.bsky.social. Brilliant.

I was there, and was talking shit with this random Michigan fan the WHOLE GAME. Finally, DA dropped that wheel route, he came up to me and was like, "For real - good game, man." We dapped. Then, Bryant fumbled, Kustok to Simmons, and I had to go back to him and give him a hug. He welcomed it.

Forgot to include a scout for Craig - mainly a perimeter player. He would camp out in the corner for kickout 3s, and was probably hitting them at a mid-30% clip.

My other fun Craig Cackowski memory - besides him being a great teacher - Ike Barinholtz organized pickup hoops at Sheil Park for improvisers, and Craig would always wear an NFL Europe/Amsterdam Admirals t-shirt. Also, you always wanted to run with Jason Sudeikis, cause that dude could pass.

Also - I still remember that 20th Titanic anniversary show - that was so much fun. It was a treat and humbling to see y'all crush it.

Loved doing shows at the Shanley Shack! Brilliant move there to become the Mee-Ow stage producer. Liz is still tremendous - she did me a real solid a few years back by jumping into a zoom chat I was hosting and shared her SNL/comedy experiences. She's a gem.

...though I don't perform shows, I've been able to integrate improv in to my "work" practice, and have had opportunities to do workshops with nonprofit executives or systems leaders that invite them to play and practice vulnerability and discovery...Mike's been a valuable thought partner

MacArthur Antigua @macarthur31.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

Yes, I have! He's very kind to let me sit in with Tricky Mickey if my Chicago visits coincide with a show night. I've always admired Mike's approach to the work, and he's always been generous with sharing time just to process improv pedagogy (ugh, apologies for making that sound wonkish)...

MacArthur Antigua @macarthur31.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

...and instead of playing Whose Line short-form, I got hooked on long form. After graduating, I took iO classes in the fall, and thanks to my Titanic experience I got put on a harold team straight away.

Back in Fall '95, when I botched my Mee-Ow audition for the 4th year in a row, I saw a flyer for Titanic auditions and thought, "Let's give it one more go." Serendipity would have it that Liz Cackowski was a freshman, and offered - "Hey, my brother Craig is at iO, and can teach us the Harold" -

It was very funny that the Cubs wore Cubs uniforms on this trip, it would have been better if they wore blank jerseys with "Shohei's Opponents" on them sponsored by Victory Auto Wreckers
