Seems like @Nigel_Farage social media bots are malfunctioning. Same happening with @LeeAndersonMP_ or @RobertJenrick accounts 😂 might have something to do with the fact that Meta backend rolled out a tweak that essentially, for lack of better phrasing, digitally concussed the bots, so they can't completely touch base with the central LLM.
So it's defaulted to absurd nonsensicalisms from the bots.
Just shows that Reform is basically a bot farm. Something that we knew for a long time.
Replying to @WeAreOpenreach
@WeAreOpenreach I am trying to reschedule an appointment for my mum after engineer turned up without promised text/call beforehand. You have no slots available in the afternoon, carers visit in the morning. Now I get a message saying you will just cancel the order. Help.
It took over 2 hours of being on hold with @bt_uk and 3 calls to even get the work scheduled, and then despite being promised a call on the day (so someone else could be present, as requested by yourselves) we just got a 'sorry we missed you text' on the day. Nothing else.
She'd be fine just staying with the landline she has now, but BT insisted this wasn't an option. So I am desperately trying to get this work done because we were told no phone otherwise. She's 86 and relies on the landline. I am assuming I will have to take this to @Ofcom now?
I am getting odd planning advice for Eccles to St Werburgh's Road on Thursday, see the image but it suggests getting off at Media City and then walking to Imperial War Museum, instead of direct Eccles to Cornbrook before changing. Are there no direct trams Eccles to Cornbook?

@BeeNetwork I need to figure out if I have to book a hotel as if there is a strike I'll have no way to get home Sunday night after a gig. Any news on this?

I'm hearing of more teams working in a remote-first style. But many are making a mistake by never meeting face-to-face. Effective remote-first teams I've encountered do periodic gatherings 2-4 times a year.

Still amazing to me how poor some retailers websites are, spent 10 minutes trying to find an alternative to amazon for windscreen wipers, but other well known motoring retailers sites kept suggesting the wrong blades or a choice of 98 (also wrong) blades.

Re Rwanda, she was "astonished" Labour "can't even get the name of the country right," when Yvette Cooper made reference to Kigali.

The highest load comes just after an outage, not from the busiest "normal" day of the year. It's a failure to understand this that leads to many prolonged outages. I hope a certain bank has engineering their systems accordingly.

@AvantiWestCoast delayed 1213 London to Manchester, coach b, announcements inaudible due to sound breaking up. No idea what's going on, other than that we are still in London not moving. Can you help?

Every org has legacy systems. And it's what holds you back from becoming who you need to be.
Rob Horn & @cartwrightian talk about patterns of legacy displacement which have been successful and anti-patterns that more often than not lead to failure.
