This charming Mitchell & Webb #sketch describes #poetry as "the last resort of the bearded, cricket-hating sodomite," and I nearly lost it 🤣 I'm not super into poetry, and that's one of the funniest descriptions I've ever heard. youtu.be/mGp4DvFEgh8?... We're not meant to agree, but I kinda do 😅

One of my fav kinds of #SNL #sketches, just a zany concept: a #newsroom bullpen layout, where you're filming the anchors & over their shoulders is the newsroom (you never would, obv) (it's like #TMZ or something, it's insane) & then slapstick hilarity ensues 😆 youtu.be/QRY12mraV40?... #lol #comedy

Gosh, that Desi Lydic is something else, isn't she? 🤩 I think her #Foxsplained segments are #Emmy award winning, & they should be. They're hilarious, punchy, topical & showcase her at her best This one's from minutes ago. Still got it. youtu.be/TLKLv2nXV98?... #Zohran #ZohranMamdani #NYC #comedy

I'm about to write up #Andor & the embedded #BlueSky bleets (that's what I call tweets here) will look way better & more impressive in the #Medium articles if you guys have Liked or engaged w/ them, so no pressure, but that'd help me out a ton if you'd all glance thru this thread 😅 #TVSky #StarWars

Luther is feeding #ShowtheDog, & Luther's not, like, a sweet guy, but he's SO sweet to this #dog. He's cooing & telling her how sweet & pretty she is & offering to get her some fresh water, & it's so kind & cute it makes me cry, a little 😭 We all ❤️ Show SO much! She's the best 🐕 #DogSky #Bellevue

Ha! @jenpsaki.msnbc.com is at it again, with the hilarious chyrons! 🤩 youtu.be/r4tn_9IDPYk?... "The Audacity of Cope" about the #GOP scrambling to explain sweeping losses in elections a few days ago. I want to know who writes Psaki's chyrons, bc they're consistently cracking me up! 😆 @msnbc.com

Let me tell you a story about this hateful, despicable, worthless little #vape battery, the #Yocan #Kodo: So, one time, I was at the #Verizon store, pleading some case or other, trying to seem normal and not-weird, and my #PhatPanda #weed cartridge was screwed into my Kodo, in my pocket. Well...

There are very few things in this world I can claim to be authoritative on, but #psychedelics (which I sold as my trade for, like, 15 years) are definitely one of them. I get way into it on #Medium: kcookandcatsco.medium.com/a-holocaust-... #acid #tripping #badtrip #lol #memoir #writesky #writer

My #YouTube #algorithm is insane; it's all #cute #animals & #sketchcomedy. This video of talkative #foxes was 🤩: youtube.com/shorts/RQE16... I've screenshot my favorite moment, in which a #dog barks and then a fox calls immediately afterwards, and... it's comical #lol 😆 What DID the #fox say? 🤔

You can’t really make art when the decisions are being made by the producers instead of the director/writer. #filmsky #moviesky

Do you, perchance, have a moment to read 10k words on the time I accidentally tripped on #LSD at the #HolocaustMuseum & got screamed at by a docent in front of a room full of kids? 🙏 It's a *pretty* good #story... 😈 kcookandcatsco.medium.com/a-holocaust-... #acid #Houston #TX #Texas #UpwardBound

I'm eating ice-cold rock-hard #Haribo #gummybears in little single-serve leftover #Halloween bags of 8, & Luther (who's sitting right here) got annoyed when I offered him a bag & said, 'Why tf are you eating Welfare Bears at 9 o'clock in the morning?' That cracked me up 😆 #lol #Bellevue #candy

The most amazing thing about the #BondFranchise is that there's, like, 25 #movies, &, as far as I know, only 2 are any good: #Goldeneye is okay. It's fun & worth watching. #CasinoRoyale is a masterpiece. Great #fim 🤩 The rest are barely anything; derivative nonsense. But there's ~25 😑 #FilmSky

More #hilarious #animal moments here at #KCookandCatsCo. Somehow, I got sucked down a #YouTube rabbit-hole (ha!), & now my feed is all wombats & #cute #straydogs using #publictransit, like this #Istanbul sweetie. youtu.be/nqXacA1egpw?... Charmingly, this #dog dgaf while this lady's interviewed 🤣

Omg the way this is edited, there's a #hilarious side-eye the human bestie gives when she says, 'anytime he has to EXERT himself,' & then it cuts away to the #cat looking fat & dopey like Kevin from #TheOffice 🤣 youtu.be/bZZDwzbtvDY?... So delightful 😆 #CatSky #catperson #catcontent #lolcats #lol

We'll eventually get back to #writing about #film, but it's another #memoir piece (a long one; strong #readers only) about the time a #Holocaust #Museum docent SCREAMED at me in front of a room full of children It's a fun one: kcookandcatsco.medium.com/a-holocaust-... #LSD #psychedelics #acid #lol

This #song, by the inimitable #JonBonJovi, is 1 of the very 1st I can recall being 1 of MY #songs, & I just BUMPED it on my stereo as an 11-year-old 😤 music.youtube.com/watch?v=xNRa... Also, 'You Don't Know How It Feels' by #TomPetty. Boy, I do not miss being 11 years old at all, #lol 😅 #SongSky

As a child, I felt *intense* things watching #Supergirl (1984) that my hyper #Christian parents could obviously kinda sense/perceive, but couldn't really explicitly condemn. I'd say I felt both an intense #crush on Supergirl and an intense jealousy of her super-cute aesthetic 💁‍♀️ #FilmSky #trans 🏳️‍⚧️

I'm about 2/3 through our #KCookandCatsCo watch of #Andor (just 2 seasons! That's tidy!), & we're mostly loving it. It's NOT perfect, but the #writing is tremendous, the performances very strong, & the #StarWars aesthetic works for me for the 1st time in ~40 years. Join us from the start! 🤓🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈🐈

Someone I just passed on the street in #Seattle looked JUST like #SpeakerMikeJohnson in athleisure, but I didn't tell him, obviously, bc that'd be the rudest fuckin thing in the world 😆 "Hey, you look like a hated, known probable-pedophile and obstructivist!" How's THAT convo supposed to go? 🤣

Honestly, shame on Paul McCartney for #WonderfulChristmastime, obviously, but exponentially more shame be upon whatever band this is that has inexplicably COVERED IT and filled it with screechy, horrific #autotune. Love that for me. I need to get going, #lol 😅 #Factoria #Bellevue #McDonalds #Xmas

Whoa, I just accidentally spent, like, 8 mins on #Facebook after promoting my #Andor thread there, and holy fucking shit, my quality-of-life dropped IMMEDIATELY, I feel bad & bad about things, I'm upset & dysregulated, & I'm enjoying things less. EIGHT MINUTES! AT MOST! 😬 #socialmedia #platforms

Lol i'm aware his name is Santa Claus. It was definitely a typo in haste, but I'm just going to go with it and refer to him as the name of that Tim Allen movie in all instances, like how I replaced purpose with porpoise 🐬 and propose with prompose bc the 1st two were just too boring 😆

It's picked up... somewhat. I've somehow never heard #TheTemptations sing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, & The Temptations keep shouting at Rudolph, 'HEY RUDOLPH!,' like maybe he's not listening, & I'm DYING laughing. It's not good, but it's better than OH NO ANOTHER SANTA CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOWN

First 2 #songs (absolutely BLASTING on the way-too-loud #GenevaConvention violating #McDonalds PA systems designed to drive us out quicker) playing were #FelizNavidad & #SantaClauseisComingtoTown. Idk if I'm gonna make it thru #Christmas at this rate 😑 It's SO goddamned loud, as well 😵‍💫 #Factoria

This guy gets it! 🤩 I wonder if I can get him or any of you to read the Medium story I'm going to write on #Andor (you can tell I'm going to write about it bc it's the #BlueSky banner, as @moviepostmortem.bsky.social cleverly deduced). Follow us anyway! medium.com/@kcookandcat... #KCookandCatsCo

"And thank you to tonight's sponsors. #Pedicabs: Slower than walking. Louder than Hell. And thank you to #HudsonYards. You can shop, dine or take the easy way out at Hudson Yards." #SNL does the #NYC #MayoralDebate parody right. They've got a special #NewYork gear (obv) youtu.be/FWSM8pDKYkU?...

Omg, 2 of my fav talking-head people in 1 room! #CoryDoctorow (fellow #MediumWriter), promoting his (I think really good; only read excerpts, thus far) (he's a really compelling & thoughtful #writer, tho) #book #Enshittification on @stephruhle.bsky.social 's #MSNBC show: youtu.be/TD_WpqLCXMM?...

Oof, shit, this just made me weep. Watch at your own risk; I'm going to be sobbing all day, now 😭 youtu.be/FcZq4XvgEGc?... #CatSky #straycat #blackcat #talkativecats #catperson Animals have so much personality. They're little people, just like we are. Hell, ask any of my #cats; they'll tell you!

Raucous, jangly, shrill #Christmas #music about #Santa & sleighs & good cheer somehow bumping in the #Factoria #McDonalds this AM 😑 I'm no fan of #Christians or #Christianity, but I think it's fair to say of all things #Christian, I hate #Christmas the absolute most. Gonna be a long 2 months... 🎅

We're watching #Andor 🤓🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈 I may/may not write more about it, but I've def got a lengthy #BlueSky thread going w/ thoughts about this not-very-Star-Wars #StarWars show. I had a lot of fun (correctly) predicting the death of a character the *moment* he was introduced 😆 Mild spoiler alert #TVSky

You might not (or might) guess it, but I love Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott, and I often bump #GetUrFreakOn to get going. I guess I'm at that age 💁‍♀️ music.youtube.com/watch?v=QshT... #SongSky #MusicSky #earworm

Spoiler Alert: He didn't make it 🤣 #lol #Andor

I'm trying to learn to #twerk from a YouTuber named #NastyaNass, but, so far, it mostly just translates to me having #twerking videos on in the background as I fail to do other stuff, as well. Slow going on that front 🍑

You know how sometimes #books come into your life? I stumbled onto a well-loved copy of James Michener's #Alaska, which I read in jail a long time ago, and loved, and it's the perfect time for it to fall back into my life, bc I just finished Watership Down (incredible). I'm a roll 🤓 #BookSky

"Another apocalypse was predicted by Mother Shipton, a mystic from #Yorkshire who lived in a cave, which, at the time, was better than living in Yorkshire, just like it also is now." #lol 🤣 #PhilomenaCunk is my jam Watch it on #YouTube: youtu.be/nY33iieDUt4?... #comedy #British #UK #hilarious

A complete stranger just silently offered me #schnapps (I don't drink) from a table across the dining room at #Panera by holding it conspiratorially up so only I could see it, and shaking it suggestively at me. ... might be time to go home & turn in for the night 😅 #Bellevue #PNW #PaneraBread #lol

So I love #EddyBurback, and I'm at the point in this video where #ChatGPT tells Eddy, 'Hilarious! This is a *brilliant* idea!' and I'm losing it. This is brilliant #satire or #parody, whichever (must be satire) 🤔 Watch it: youtu.be/VRjgNgJms3Q?... #YouTube #AI #LLM #lol

I can't take #dogphotos of her bc my phone is broken, but #ShowTheDog just gave Mike, Luther & me a weird look that I eventually figured out was side-eye, bc nobody came over to the bed to console her after a loud disturbance in Luther's hallway 🤣 Show is SO funny, man 😆 #DogSky #Dogs #pnwdogs

I failed out of #UT (was there same semester as #KevinDurant, & went to approx same number of classes) before graduating from #UofH (Eat 'em up, Coogs!), & 1 of the classes I didn't go to at UT was an 8am 4x/week *ancient* #Greek language course 2 MILES from where I lived, #lol Yeah, right 😆 #TX

Blurgh. It's turning out to be a very emotional day, for some reason. I didn't choose it, but I embrace it!

Wow! 😭 Not ashamed to say that this review of my analysis of Dr. Collier's #Halloween #ASpookyScaryScienceDataStory made me cry, & hearing stuff like this is (often) what keeps me #writing. medium.com/@cshallow/de... I think Chris, the commenter, writes primarily #erotica, which makes me blush 😳

"Build Back Bitter" is a hilarious chyron, and I give @msnbc.com full credit for that 🤣 I really enjoy @jenpsaki.msnbc.com's take on things, and she must have some funny people writing for her. Good one! 😆 Give it a watch: youtu.be/fY5hs3APfY4?... #MSNBC #Trump #Cabinet

Happy (almost) #Halloween! 🎃👻 To celebrate, the #cats & I wrote about Dr. Angela Collier's 'A #scary #science #data #story,' breaking down what makes it such a good story, and so well-told. Give it a read on #Medium: medium.com/@kcookandcat... #spooky #HappyHalloween #AllHallows #Storytelling

#SouthKorea is trolling us, giving #Trump a golden #crown. C'mon guys. Don't encourage him 😑 #SKorea #Korea #NoKings

I used to look to #TheDailyShow for my #politics talking points & #humor, but #LateNight 's #ACloserLook has taken that place in my life these days. I love the work #SethMeyers & his team are doing: youtu.be/us6HrtzQSHU?... It's comfort & solace as much as mirth, & I love it 😭 #lol #comedy #Trump

I wrote about #journalism this week, getting into the particulars of #AnnaBower 's #Signal text-convo with alleged interim #UnitedStates Attorney for the Eastern District of #Virginia, #LindseyHalligan, a Stepford Wife if I've ever seen one. Read it: kcookandcatsco.medium.com/anna-lindsey... #MAGA

I think I'm finally going to watch #Andor

[together] "The bullet that killed #JesusChrist!" sent me 🤣 I love #WizardsWithGuns, a #sketchcomedy group I've recently stumbled onto, but who have been around for years. I don't think I've bleeted about them before. This one is hilarious: youtu.be/ZJC3a26BfC8?... #comedy #lol #funny

Well! Nobody's read yet, but #KCookandCatsCo covered the #AnnaBower (of #Lawfare) #Signal text-convo with #LindseyHalligan, just one more #unhinged #fascist sign that the #Trump Administration doesn't plan on leaving Read it on Medium: kcookandcatsco.medium.com/anna-lindsey... #antifa #whitehouse
