Molly was one of the most welcoming, compassionate, open, sharp, fiercely loyal, wise, witty, humble, and principled people I’ve ever known, and I’m honoured to have had the pleasure of being her friend. Rest in peace, Mols. I miss you.

It was only at the end of the evening, when people were practically queuing up to talk to her, that I discovered I, a relative nobody, fresh out of university, had accidentally, obliviously, spent the evening hanging out with the guest of honour 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m so, so sad to hear about Molly Holzschlag’s death this morning (tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/0…, via @cackhanded).

@felix_cohen Well, whatever happens, we’ll know why they made PropterHog next.

@CommunityFibre Hi! My Community Fibre connection’s upload speed is gradually degrading over the last 24 hours (see attached). Any suggestions of what to check?

@cackhanded I never said it was bad before! I enjoyed that everyone got to choose their own path, and that some abstained.

@felix_cohen Happy birthday, whippersnapper!

@choosyosx Hi George! Congrats on this release! I only just spotted this update. Little bug report for you: the updater doesn’t appear to update installed copies outside /Applications (eg ~/Applications/Utilities, in my case). Lemme know if you want more details…

Choosy 2.3 is finally here: Brave, Vivaldi, and Edge profiles! macOS share menu integration! Handoff and Air Drop support! choosy.app/releases/2.3

It legit makes me angry when someone tells me London lacks community or friendliness. It's just not the case. It's everywhere. It's in the little memorials to lost patrons in every pub. The people volunteering to clean up or help cats. The community events. It's there.

PSA: When I said “let’s pick it up in the new year” I meant from Monday 9th.

@andybudd Haven’t seen Glass Onion yet, but I found the mystery of Knives Out unsatisfying thanks to a lifetime of exposure to murder mysteries (especially Poirot) on TV.

Most of the people I know who have loved The Glass Onion have been North American while most of the people I know who found it slightly irritating / unsatisfying have been British. I wonder if this has anything to do with our different comic sensibilities?

A staycation is where you spend your holiday at home and explore your local area. A holiday in your own country is called “a holiday”

@jaylett @Natbat We could only get tins last week, as it happens. Because I guess Brixton entered a time warp.

This is the correct order of #qualitystreet. (Best on the left obvs)

Remember. Kevin McCallister could have phoned the police at any time. He was a child who had accidentally been left alone. One call and he would have been safe. But it was never about safety. He was hunting those men. He wanted them to die. It was fun for him. He enjoyed it.

@AlunR @twigletsuk I noticed that today! We bought a couple of bags last week, but literally none of the shops near us even had shelf space for them today! Weeeeird.

Also @twigletsuk seem to be missing from the shelves but only my wife likes those so I’m less concerned

Am I the only one who has noticed a distinct lack of @MiniCheddars this Christmas? I’ve normally consumed a pallet by now but not a solitary piece of cheesy awesomeness has passed my lips this winter :(

@McKelvie OK. Important end-of-Twitter question: where do we go for your Christmas joke this year? Here? Mastodon? Instagram? Inquiring minds must know!
