so okay people were asking about my headcanon shit

I have a pointless amount of headcanon about this movie. Not the least of which being the IT crowd shutting down everything as fast as they can in order to get the situation under control, followed by slowly picking the pieces back up and putting shit back together.

And when they're doing that they find out that Computer has been fucked up for a while. Like, seriously for a while, and that's why there are big sections of the city which are broken and so on.

So. What was supposed to be happening?

Testing if I can start a #monsterdon thread from here and reply to it on another account without having it show up in the local TL but also have it still show up in the monsterdon feed

I would make a joke about irony, but honestly, I don't know if anyone actually understands what it is.

And if I did someone would inevitably come along in the comments, and try to explain irony, and even more inevitably someone would correct them, and then really this is just a joke about hubris, which is probably ironic, but who the hell knows.

The only way we can adequately manage risk in healthcare in a pandemic with an airborne pathogen is by having sustainable processes & resources in place to cope with a high volume of cases.

Stockpiles of disposable PPE expire & run out quickly, ramping up processes/skills takes too long, & we can’t rely on building infrastructure being brought up to scratch in a hurry.

Airborne precautions for respiratory tract pathogens needs to be an increasing part of our healthcare routine.

A good example of how headlines differ from stories. The difference is usually due to layout/headline writers being different from the reporter, and they either fail to read the story or "spice it up" by misrepresenting the contents.

Headline is:

"Divided Washington state to choose Biden or Trump: ‘Everything seems a mess right now’"

What disinformation does is distract people from seeing the mundane truth for what it is.

Journalists making claims about science should quote their assertions with an actual link to a paper or something - rather than "scientists say this" or "scientists say that" and then quoting one named scientist in the article.

@Taweret I think we should consider doing a tribute to Roger Coreman next week, maybe by voting on one of his monster films?

This was suggested by @CactuarJoe and I second that idea.
