This morning I made a last-minute decision to change the name of a new robot character in Frozen Heck, the fourth book in the Starship Teapot series. I really don't know why I ever called her anything else.

If it’s 75° outside, it only takes 10 minutes to reach 75° in the car. But if it’s 75° outside, it takes fully 30 minutes to get to 75° in the car. Good to know.

'As the likely next government, Labour has a historic opportunity to modernise UK democracy and rebuild trust in politics. We call on Labour to make a public commitment within their first 100 days in office to implement Proportional Representation (PR). Doing so will demonstrate their support for a modern democracy that works for everyone, not just the rich and powerful.'

I’m working on a #GeneralElection2024 playlist. What should I add?

Wrong direction, my dude.

All right, let's start timing when those emails come in. Or, to put it another way, how prepared were all the various parties and political movements.

Election was announced at 17.17.

Let's go. When did those emails start hitting my inbox?

Both Cameron and Schapps have unexpectedly called short their overseas trips and returned to the UK. Now Hunt has pulled out of a television appearance tonight.

Don't tell me Sir Beige Starmer is just as bad as Richie Rich Sunak. He isn't. I'm not saying he's going to be good. He isn't good. But he will categorically not be as bad for as many people as the Tories.
Would we do better under a different system? Yes.
Will some things improve less than we would all like? Yes.
Are there some policies where Labour isn't much different from the Tories? A few.

It's still going to be a HUGE improvement to the vast majority.

Oh, fedi. Do I have a tale of internet stupidity for you.

This is the story of me trying – and repeatedly failing – to set myself up to advertise my books on Facebook.

I said I would prefer to discuss via email and asked them to please stop including my author friend.

clacksee,
@clacksee@wandering.shop avatar

They called me by my author friend’s name and looped her back into the email.

They provided the ticket number and said if I wanted to know more, I could look up the status of the ticket.

clacksee,
@clacksee@wandering.shop avatar

I asked how I could look the ticket up, especially as my account is locked.

clacksee,
@clacksee@wandering.shop avatar

They (once again calling me by my author friend’s name and looping her back into the email) said we could only discuss one item per ticket and if I was experiencing other problems, I should open a new ticket.

I should point out their email is coming from one of those systems where it creates a new email address for each ticket, so I literally can only contact them about this ticket, not any other.

clacksee,
@clacksee@wandering.shop avatar

I asked what the status of this ticket was.

clacksee,
@clacksee@wandering.shop avatar

They (once again calling me by my author friend’s name and looping her back into the email) said this ticket was now closed.

clacksee,
@clacksee@wandering.shop avatar

Facebook keeps telling me (well, telling my author friend) that this ticket is closed but that a new ticket has been raised to assist on this problem and I can just check that one.

clacksee,
@clacksee@wandering.shop avatar

Neither my author friend nor I have received any contact on that ticket. And I can't check that ticket like they keep telling me to do because I'm locked out of Facebook Business.

They've raised a help ticket within Facebook Business to help with the fact I'm locked out of Facebook Business. In order to proceed with the ticket, I just need to respond from inside Facebook Business.

Easy peasy!

I'm now locked in a permanent loop with Facebook Support.
They tell me this ticket is now closed and that I can follow up on the new ticket.
I tell them that I have no means of contacting them on the other ticket and no means of checking the other ticket.

I’ve just had an email from Facebook.

Not from the Support team, obviously. They just wanted me to know I haven’t logged in for a while I wonder why that might be.

Do you remember all my Facebook troubles?

I'm at my wits' end. Trying to unf*%k my Facebook account isn't working. I tried setting up a new account. But that didn't work either.
