@lufthansa @adwickham Your UK number given is not recognised...

[Pamela Koehne-Drube @iblamewizards]

@lufthansa Your chat assistant, which is currently the only way to book is erroring out every time I try to use it to rebook. My trip is time sensitive, and need to get this sorted right away (and I'm sure all other passengers are in the same boat). What other rebooking option are there??

[Pamela Koehne-Drube @iblamewizards]

@British_Airways @AmericanAir It was a British Airways booked flight. The booking and payment was all made through you.

[Pamela Koehne-Drube @iblamewizards]

@British_Airways I submitted a complaint about baggage charges made by an @AmericanAir operated flight back on the 5th of September and haven't heard a thing. This delayed response is appalling.

The new production of #ROHRheingold is a perfect example of why we need young people in opera. It was peak Boomer. The amazing talent was let down by staging completely divorced from its story context that relied on racist tropes and a silenced woman. Opera deserves better.

@jobetterdays @FairyLoot If you're still in, might be worth persevering. The numbers reduced pretty quickly as people check out

[Pamela Koehne-Drube @iblamewizards]

@jobetterdays @FairyLoot I went from 6 hours to 16 hours in 10 minutes!!!

@WhichUK The scam is more advanced now. They make the claim there is a fraudulent purchase on your account and they need to verify your identity to cancel the purchase. Because it sounds like a legit security concern, and the genuine O2 text comes in, it's incredibly easy to fall for.

@pathseekerken @deathbyhibachi Saw this tweet, scrolled down, three tweets later I still had that same thought. 🤦

Just scared my dog with my shout of glee at the return of the @GodAwfulMovies Mormon Movie Month!

Fellow exmos, if you've never heard their episode on Saturday's Warrior, you haven't lived.

THIS WEEK! Season 3 of the #StuffTheBritishStole podcast returns for the first time since 2021. 6 episodes that will take you from a crypt in Windsor Castle to the streets of Barbados. A mystery in the library of a country town high school and an ancient manuscript that holds a mathematical discovery.

You’ll go from the top of the Andes mountains to alleyway gin bars and it’ll make you watch a certain Disney movie verrrry differently. If you’re not subscribed, nows the time: https://t.co/Glq3Rs5TWR

[Pamela Koehne-Drube @iblamewizards]

@TomPutnam11 @greg_jenner In a way. Most things are mixed for cinema or quality sound systems which the average home viewers don't have. No attention is put into mixing for the masses and their home set ups. So it's less about age vs quality, and more about expense vs reality.

[Pamela Koehne-Drube @iblamewizards]

@greg_jenner What I do hate about them though is they're often censored. Apparently swearing is fine, but only if you can hear it? Censoring only for those who require subtitles instead of just using them for convenience seems wildly off base to me.

[Pamela Koehne-Drube @iblamewizards]

@greg_jenner I do it because of poorly optimised audio mixes for home viewing. The default mix means the dialogue is too quiet and the music and sound effects too loud. If I don't want to wake the neighbours whenever the music swells, I have to watch with subtitles.

[Pamela Koehne-Drube @iblamewizards]

20 tracks in, and the only songs it's picked for me that I actually liked were tracks already in my current rotation. It appears to be very much based on assumptions of demographic trends, not on real data of what I like.

[Pamela Koehne-Drube @iblamewizards]

I tried Spotify's AI DJ today. Skipped literally all it's first track lists because they were boring. Underwhelmed. It only cements to me how much current AI is just good marketing and confirmation bias.

Today we bought ingredients for two meals (a stir-fry and a home made pizza), some dog food, eco-friendly cleaning supplies (surface cleaner, cloths, glass cleaner) and ingredients to make bread for the week. It cost £87. Britain is broken.
