By the way, the correct answer was 8:55am 🤦‍♂️

Foolishly thinking AI might solve the bizarrely impossible question: “when is the earliest off-peak train?” I asked @thetrainline’s chatbot. Got an answer that made me worry less about AI taking everyone’s jobs.

Damn @audibleuk!
I’m only adjusting book recommendations, not casually opting out of my most significant life choices. 😏

Following the @linkinpark announcement, the US Military are researching Emily Armstrong. To be the female singer in a rock band is one thing, but replacing a deceased and beloved singer means her skin isn’t just thick, it must be fucking bulletproof. 💪

Can I get a prize for Spotle #812🎧 @Spotle_io ? From @SmashingPumpkin straight to @celinedion is quite a guess.

[Paul Almeida-Seele @thenativepaul]

It conveniently started working again as soon as the “up to 50% sale” ended. 🙄

@PhotoBox_Help After spending hours preparing and editing a calendar I'm now getting this message. Is there any way to recover my work without needing to redo it all?

[Paul Almeida-Seele @thenativepaul]

I get a lot of value using @betterhelp for therapy but it’s disappointing to see a mental health service use manipulative guilt-tripping language like this.

@notawelshsinger To enter the game show, contestants first need to adopt a dog from the Dogs Trust and not tell their friends. (Sorry)

[Paul Almeida-Seele @thenativepaul]

Who can I pitch game-show ideas to?
>> Contestants need to get up and make it all the way downstairs to the kitchen without my dog waking up and following them.

Amazing! 😂

@RoseStokes It was a good decade ago but did a rock ‘n roll waking tour which was great. All sorts of random hidden gems you wouldn’t realise had a musical history. https://t.co/vqtdtnk5ac

Looking at you @landg_group - Seele is pronounced Zehla, but I had to say Seal to get through.

[Paul Almeida-Seele @thenativepaul]

Talking to automated phone systems is always super annoying, but if you really want to annoy a customer before putting them through to a human get the system to ask for their name and then force the customer to mispronounce it before they can move forward.

It would also be a very useful time for someone to tell me it already exists.

[Paul Almeida-Seele @thenativepaul]

Today would be a very useful time for @Adobe to release an AI feature in @Photoshop or @Lightroom that quickly makes a composite combining everyone’s best facial expression in a group photo. 📸🎄
