This is pretty exciting 🤩

I’ve introduced the idea of the #StorytellingCzar in our latest #KCookandCatsCo #rewatch #moviereview, covering #OceansTwelve (again).

Read: kcookandcatsco.medium.com/sequels-can-...

A hypothetical conceit, but a fun one 🤓

Hey, there’s no bad reason! And I am a lifelong reader who BARELY reads books anymore (shamefully), so this works both ways, too 🤓

Hilariously, for the college newspaper, I did a little of everything, and food/restaurant critique was, like, the ONLY time I’ve ever sat down to a keyboard and had nothing to say.

Hardest and worst 450 words I’ve ever written 😆

It’s harder than it looks! (And I also don’t ready any) 😅

Relatable 😆

I do film criticism, but yeah, totally 😅

#Portmanteau #mashups of #books, rather than #songs:

“Where the Red Fern of Courage Grows,” a #mashup of #WhereTheRedFernGrows and #TheRedBadgeOfCourage, which I prompose might be the saddest #book ever 🤔

#BookSky #literature

Damn you, Wilson Rawls. I haven’t read your book in more than 30 years and even now, thinking of it makes me cry.

This one also made me cry, but probably from boredom? I can’t rightly recall, except that it was quite upsetting and not my speed…

I’m a little sad nobody has read my Danny Amendola piece (it’s really an #antifa #memoir; maybe I categorized/promoted it wrong).

It’s the most Me anything I’ve written has ever been. I’d be delighted if you’d give it a read: kcookandcatsco.medium.com/two-time-sup...

Testosterone is very useful in limited, specific circumstances (🍆), but hormonally and evolutionarily speaking, it strikes me mostly as a horny, sweaty solution in perpetual, desperate search of a problem.

I’m at the point where I now don’t personally know most of you guys that follow me, & it feels like the tiniest taste of fame 😅

I esp appreciate the 1-time strangers (no more!) among you who decided to follow us 🤗

It’s SO gratifying!! 🙏

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

I had somehow never heard of the #Folgers #IncestCommercial (Brother Home for Holidays), and HOLY SHIT, it’s WILD 🤣

Here’s the @andyrichter.co segment with Timothy Simons: youtube.com/shorts/8Mfb-...

It occurs to me that I’m a lot more accurately described by what I’m against, and how against it I am, than what I’m for 🤔

If there were ever a time for that to be a good thing, it’s probably now…

Me, too! We’re capable of producing both a Trump and an Obama. We truly contain multitudes, and I’m very proud of some of them 🤔

What Freedom, exactly? To get shot like a fucking idiot in front of 💯s of people? 🤔

Spicier thoughts in the #alttext or on #Medium, where I’ve written at length re: dead-idiot #CharlieKirk & his #StepfordWife widow: kcookandcatsco.medium.com/charlie-kirk...

#MAGA #Trump #ErikaKirk #MedalofFreedom

LOL! Erika Kirk evidently accepted the Presidential Medal of Freedom award on behalf of her dead, idiot husband 🤣

Free to get false-flagged by the guy giving the medal to his widow, lol. Trump’s probably cucking him, too, like King David. He certainly fancies himself a King lol

#Obama, 1 of my literal heros, just dropped another piece on #Medium. This #platform is the coolest. Re: his convo w/ #MarcMaron, too: medium.com/@barackobama...

Hm! This is curious & mildly bothersome. My old #OceansTwelve piece (not the 1 I just pubbed) has precisely 666 Claps on #Medium.

#TheNumberofTheBeast. I guess it's the right time of year for it, but if any #superstitious #MediumWriter wants to help out...

kcookandcatsco.medium.com/the-worst-mo...

I've highlighted it. Right at 666. It's... well, I always wish it were more, don't I? That's always bothersome, that it isn't a bigger number. So for that reason, alone...

Lots of #cute #catphotos on this #BlueSky friend’s feed 🤗

Why are so few of us talking about #guillotines? 🤔

This one’s name is #Unelector, the Helpful Antifascist Guillotine 🤓 he’s like Clippy for punishing the people who killed our democracy, and we should break glass yesterday

Ha! @anylaurie16.bsky.social is an absolute delight 😆

As long as she doesn’t accuse me of #jokestealing (and I’ll credit her, if pressed), I’m going to start using “a #crucifix of #Christians,” in everyday conversation, like a flock of seagulls or a murder of crows 😂
