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 🤓

#CatSky

These guys are from the hometown I fled — #Houston, #TX — and maybe if I’d known of more folks like them, I wouldn’t have felt like I had to flee…

Nah, I’m still glad I’m in #Seattle, but it’s nice to see #Antifa and pro #cat messaging from #HTX 🤗

This asshole just brought a live rat into the house and let it go. Really missing Milton at the moment.

Wow!! 🤩

I promote our stuff all the time, bc I sincerely believe it’s some of the best #filmcriticism on #Medium, but this piece by Suntar Jono on #TheTrumanShow is one of the best things I’ve ever read from a #filmcritic: medium.com/cinemania/th...

It is paywalled.

Our stuff never is, tho 🤓🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛

"young men make edgy jokes!!" is really playing great like thirty days after getting a bunch of people fired for posting insufficient reverence

Presumably, bc she has standards 🤔

K. Cook & Cats, Co. @iamkaymichelle.bsky.social · 16h

I totally feel you, but my perspective is that it just saves me time knowing who won’t be able to give an authentic, human performance, so… there’s a silver lining.

Similar to how whomever cast Tron: Ares saved me that time by putting Jared Leto in it (I think it might have been Leto, too) 🤓

"women don't like the vehicle" is going to be lodged in my brain's neocortex for the rest of my natural life www.wired.com/story/owning...

Q: And are you married?
A: I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle.

one of my coworkers loves the way I dress and every day when she gets in she comes over and says "let's see the fit" and then oohs and ahhs over me and it's really doing wonders for my self-esteem

Did he also do the covers to the Thrawn Legends Trilogy, or were they just similar-looking and made by someone else? 🤔

Those covers are, like, burned into my young mind from rereading and caressing on my childhood bookcase 😅

I think they’re Struzan, but a cursory Googling was inconclusive…

When you think of iconic movie posters, you think of his work. RIP Drew Struzan, you will always be the gold standard.

I think I’m going to start calling idiot #Christians (or all of them, bc that’s redundant, isn’t it?) “Ofchrist,” bc that’s explicitly what they want & the paradigm they claim is happening (happy to be a cog in corporate body of #TheChurch, #Jesus ‘s dutiful & subservient #waifu) 🤔

#Christianity

I’ll be at the #Seattle one 🤗

Hope to see a lot of my fellow #Seattleites there!

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 1d

American fascists are, obviously, very scared about how big a protest "No Kings" will be this weekend, as seen by their hysterical, dishonest rhetoric about it.

Let's make their fears come true by showing up on October 18

“I was married, but I’m not married anymore” should come as a stock, factory bumper sticker on the #Cybertruck #lol

We wanted to know what it was like to own a Cybertruck. So @zoeschiffer.bsky.social went to the desert got this absolutely amazing quotes (and Michelle Groskopf took the pictures!) www.wired.com/story/owning...

It'd be cool if people who thought they were funny would stop conflating male loneliness with antisocial incels who think they're owed something from women.

Well, did you watch the Tim Simons clip I linked where he and Andy Richter talk about casting it?

Can you even IMAGINE how it must feel to hear your #eldestchild tell your cunt #wife in the #groupchat that she can’t wait to bury that cunt wife? 😆

(i.e. my cunt #mother)

I can’t, so if you CAN, can you call me and describe it to me really slowly and sexily? 🤣

#kids #parenting #moms #dads #lol

K. Cook & Cats, Co. @iamkaymichelle.bsky.social · 18h

Had a chat w/ my #parents 🤣

You should see what I send them on #Mothers & #Fathers Day — this is just my daily AM reminder they’re terrible #abusive parents, they should be begging me for my forgiveness & that they’re not is why I can’t wait to bury them 🤗

Be nice to your #kids 😘 #lol
