Not just one, a triptych.

A Twitter DM from June 2022 reads: Hi Mollie, I hope you're well. Just sending a message to say thanks. Early this year you tweeted a Guardian Blind Date, where the guy dragged the girl a little bit. After seeing a couple of people saying some pretty shit things about her on Twitter, I DM'd her to balance it out a bit - just say I thought she came across as really funny and fuck the haters etc (but with no other real intention other than that). Well we hit it off, talked every day for a month (I was working out of the UK at the time) and agreed to meet as soon as I returned. I ended up coming home early and we've been dating ever since. It might sound a bit over the top but l've never felt like this about anyone else before, and I'm pretty sure she feels the same way. I've honestly had some of the best months of my life with her around, and I want to say thanks

A Twitter DM from tonight reads: Hey Mollie, I hope you don't mind an update on the above. I asked her if she'd marry me, she said yes! She's my world. I'm so incredibly thankful for you tweeting that thing that led me and meet - I'm eternally in your debt. Thanks!

In 2022 I received the wholesome DM in the image on the left on the Other Site, tonight I received the one on the right 🥹🥹🥹🥹

and why yes, when I made this I did keep the Photoshop file as a template to do more of these down the line.

I'm hoping everyone waits until Amol Rajan pops up on screen at about 8:32pm.

The Louvre account keeps posting the most perfect examples of why restricted replies are such a successful feature.

Looting, I bet!

It's well known that the biggest danger in the West End is John Barrowman getting his lad out.

By the way, lads. We're on the clock...

In fact, that's it, isn't it.

Everywhere he goes spouting this nonsense, just turn up in unison and start singing 'Hakuna Matata' at him.
Something catchy, something joyous, something completely ridiculous with a good message.

Also, that excerpt reads like he's describing the Batman origin story.

The only genuine fear I'd have after 9pm in the West End is being dragged off the street to see a late night showing of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Swathes of people coming out of The Lion King at 9pm on a Friday singing 'Hakuna Matata', and Farage here thinking it's a call to militant Jihad.

Like, welcome to the world of working for yourself, I guess.

Just came across this guy on tiktok who plays connect4 with random people on the street and I know it’s a joke, yet this person is doing more to ground himself in his environment, connect (ha) with the people around him, while getting the people he plays with to take a micro break in their day 🥲

One of the rounds was 'Non-Studio Ghibli Japanese animated films' - with the questions given as Haikus.

Not being out strongest subject, we put 'Akira' for every answer, and got 1/10 for that round.

Might have been more if we hadn't put 'Shakira' down a couple of times.

Went to a film-themed quiz this evening with @jamierbrown.bsky.social which felt very much like this:

Why does this advert look like Mads Mikkelsen is chuffed to bits to be installing his own rooflight?

... so thank you, @stephenking.bsky.social

Have just watched 'The Life of Chuck'.

It is BEAUTIFUL.

I went in knowing very, very, little and can thoroughly recommend it for anyone needing a film that just *lifts*

Would also say, for anyone needing it, it's a PERFECT date film.

Gowron from Stark Trek, but he's Mr. Rogers, and he says "Glory to you... and your neighborhood."

I remember when we just used to call this 'Neuralink'

Just for @barbarossa69.bsky.social

Also decided to get in touch with my emotional wellbeing and bought a self-help book called 'How to Hug'.

... Turns out it was Vol. 8 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

I'm slightly humbled anyone remembers that 🙂

I love this gif

I've never been good with things like Binary, so I bought a book titled 'Binary 101' to try and get my head around it.

Absolutely useless. It was apparently the fifth book in the series.

Original post from Micah @rincewind.run deeply thankful that I have a life partner who I can trust through everything that's coming, marrying my wife remains the best decision I've ever made Reply from Salamander Fake @salamanderf... 14h This is an extremely insensitive thing to post. Some of us are dealing with extremely painful divorces, and the fallout from our long term partners lies, infidelity and betrayal. I truly hope that smug happy couples such as yourself never have to go through this type of shit.

The platonically perfect Bluesky post

No!!!

It's been a year or so for me

Eek

That aside, I had the best damned Martini of my life at Rules a few years ago, so all sins are forgiven.
