We’re starting to mark time around here in #BlueSky suspensions. It’s easier than using the sun to mark the passage of time, bc here in #Seattle, Kay gets suspended from @bsky.app way more than she sees the sun 🌞

It honestly feels like I wasn’t even missed 🤔

GUYS! I WAS PERSECUTED & BRIEFLY CANCELED BY @bsky.app & I took the time to think about my actions & draft a thoughtful, circumspect apology to #BlueSky & all the people I offended: kcookandcatsco.medium.com/this-is-the-...

I’m so sowwy 🥺

#socialmedia
This is the kind of vile, glib, left-wing rhetoric & imagery you’ll find on BlueSky
We investigate: what does this awful #GuillotineMindset ACTUALLY mean, and why is it ALWAYS accompanied by the sunglasses emoji? 😎

Goddamned right. You don't ever have to wear costuming ever, and I don't have to celebrate the birth of some irrelevant Nazarene who died two thousand years ago.

Goodness, I LOVE listening to #cats talk.

I have 4 of the most #talkativecats in the world here at #KCookandCatsCo, and even so, I spend an inordinate amount of the average workday watching OTHER cats talk.

I've got a problem 😅

DYK new #BlueSky friend @caroleeena.bsky.social has a #SubStack?

We were quite taken with this piece "The Mass Psychosis of Totalitarianism and how to RESIST IT!!" which is, nfn, quite similar to things we've published lately: open.substack.com/pub/caroleee...

Check it out! Quality 🤩

The Mass Psychosis of Totalitarianism and How to RESIST IT!
According to “The Rape of the Mind” manipulating and reorganizing collective feelings via propaganda is a tool totalitarians use to induce mass psychosis and control people.

Our boss did a thing!

#KcookandCatsCo thought way longer & harder about #AHouseofDynamite 's #screenplay than Noah Oppenheim did, & Kay managed to keep our rebuttal to an appropriate length, 10m of read-time, according to #Medium.

Wonder if Kay will get @coachtony.bsky.social to Clap this one 🤔

I'm actually delighted and super-flattered by 'a puppy with thumbs,' which I think is a way nicer characterization than what most people would offer, especially when pressed 🤣

I get c-word a lot, #lol 😆

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Our boss did a thing! This evidently 1st time watch of #MichaelBay 'classic' #Transformers seemed painful from a distance.

The #cats didn't bother getting caught up in this 1. Looked awful, though. Just a bunch of noise & pervy bullshit.

Start from the beginning with this quoted bleet!

#FilmSky
Hoo, boy. Someone just put #Transformers (2007) on a shared #TV, & I'm pretty sure I've seen this, but also, maybe not.

I pretty adeptly avoided all #Bayhem after getting suckered into a #BadBoys once (fool me once... we can't get fooled again), so this may actually be my 1st viewing...

Now, I like your dad, Kay, but this is fucking hilarious 😆

Bad job & shame on him re: the desecration of sacred #indigenous land & the making-unrefusable-offers to the #Hualapai, but that dude never once passed me without scritching me & telling me he loved me, so...

I'm still a fan 😽

#CookFamily
My 1st inkling that #Capitalism was evil was when I was about 12 or 13, & my dad (part-owner of his company, either #Aquila or #SouthernPines #Energy) was tasked with convincing the #Hualapai #Tribe to give up their (not kidding) sacred burial grounds, bc they were on top of a...

Not many have tabbed through the full thread, but this is definitively the worst #film (it's digital) I've seen in a long while.

Worse than #Ishtar. Worse than #KraventheHunter.

It MAY be the worst #screenplay I've EVER seen committed to the screen 🤔

#FilmSky #WriteSky #MovieSky #AHouseofDynamite
I've heard a bunch about #AHouseofDynamite here on #BlueSky today, so I'm going to give it a shot.

Prob not going to review it, bc everyone is & idk if I'll have anything substantive or different to say about it (my bread & butter is #movies from 30 years ago), but I'm curious 🤓

This is from a @coachtony.bsky.social piece on #Medium.

He's one of my favorite #writers on there (& CEO, & I have a STRONG suspicion I'd be one of HIS favorite writers, if he ever bothered to read, which he has done precisely once).

It's the rhythm, the cadence of it 🤓

We made a new #KCookandCatsCo friend!

I'm often a harsh, grumpy cat to Kay, but we all have nothing but affection & in my case head-nuzzles for new friends round here

It's why we got on BlueSky!

Well, I'm on here bc Kay keeps getting suspended by @bsky.app, but now that I'm here, might as well 😸

Kay's getting frustrated with #AHouseofDynamite 😹

A classic #KCookandCatsCo rant against a #film Kay has taken personally, for some reason.

I bet we can even expect to see a Medium review of this #movie, based on the level of vitriol and furious bemusement.

#FilmSky and #MovieSky folks may enjoy
OH MY FUCKING GOD we've LITERALLY seen this ENTIRE speech, as a picture-in-picture Zoom box, & now Kathryn Bigelow has the AUDACITY to show it again IN ITS ENTIRETY?

I think #AHouseofDynamite hates me & hates anyone who watches it, & wishes to punish them for doing so 😑

Kay is NOT a fan of #AHouseofDynamite, lol.

If you enjoy Kay just despising something (and some people do), this is a good one 😆

I don't know if you guys see bleets that are buried in conversation-threads with other #BlueSky users, but I dropped a bit of #KcookandcatsCo #lore (which, for @bomani-hamletcook.bsky.social is #personallore) in conversation w/ @marifromky.bsky.social earlier

All true 😆

We've been over this, lol 😅

Chloe thought you were a #BlackCat and so she gave you a (her words) Black Name, and when I adopted you bc she ran off to college without a plan for your care, I didn't feel comfortable explaining that to everyone who met you.

That's why we also call you Hamlet 🤓

Fake News! The grumpiest #cat in the world is @bomani-hamletcook.bsky.social after I told him he was done watching #BirdYouTube on #KCookandCatsCo TVs (he leapt into 5 TVs over a 6mo period, breaking them spectacularly, trying to catch those goddamn birds).

If I've read this #BBCEarth piece correctly (btw, wtf is #BBC Earth, & what's that relative to #BBCOne & #BBCTwo?), & I'd like to think that I have, this means that #cats regress to a childlike (kitten-like) state in order to get our attention: youtu.be/qeUM1WDoOGY?...
