77 Thoughts I Had While Watching Season 5, Episode 2 Of "Game Of Thrones"

“Do you think she’s safe with Littlefinger?” … Pretty sure no one would be safe chillin’ with someone named Littlefinger.

HBO

1. I kinda forgot Arya was on a boat to Braavos.
2. When I was 13, I was afraid to go to the mall alone and this girl's traveling across the big blue ocean solo. Pretty badass.
3. I think the Game Of Thrones intro was made to be the perfect amount of time to get a glass of wine.

HBO

4. Yessss opening scene with Arya. I'm about it.
5. Maisie Williams seems cool IRL, too.
6. Not that I've ever met her. But we'd probably be friends if I did.
7. I like the dude rowing the boat's turquoise ring. Very free people of him.
8. He just drops her off at this enormous cement building/house. Not intimidating at all.
9. This guy's like, "Who da fuq are you."
10. "You have everywhere else to go." – Dude, she's literally on your isolated island/house. She's really got nowhere else to go.
11. Arya, don't throw your magic coin in the water. Some Pirates Of The Caribbean shit is gonna activate.

Now Anyone Can Slide Into Your DMs

Twitter just changed its direct messages so anyone can DM you, whether you follow them or not.

Today, Twitter began rolling out changes to the direct message feature that will make it easier for people to DM each other — even if one party doesn't follow the other:

1) Allow anyone to DM you. Now — or soon; Twitter is rolling this feature out gradually — you'll have the option to enable anyone (not just people you follow) to DM you. This means any old rando out there can send you a DM (but only if you opt in). To opt in on mobile, go to me>gear icon>settings>account you want to change> "receive direct messages from anyone".

2) You can now DM if only one of you follows. Even if you don't opt into to the "allow all randos" setting, you'll be able to DM with people you follow, even if they don't follow you back.

This means if Kanye West wants to DM you (and you follow him, but he doesn't follow you back because the only person he follows is Kim), he finally can. I'm sure he has so much to say to you.

Before, both people had to be following each other in order to have a DM convo. IThis is an indication that the microblogging service is marching into messaging — previously considered a weak spot for Twitter, but clearly big business for companies such as WhatsApp, which boasts hundreds millions of users worldwide.

Also: Great news for thirsty randos and people who think they have a shot at finally telling Kayne West just what they think of his latest single.

Go forth and slide, everyone!

The Guardian reported that Mutesi was first introduced to the game in 2005, when she made regular visits to the local church, which invited children to learn to play chess in exchange for a serving of porridge. There, she met Robert Katende, who would become her coach and mentor as she ascended the ranks of prestigious chess competitions.
