look, i'm not going to wear different clothes every day.

if that's what you wanted, you should have thought about that before having a pandemic

wait, why the zoom backlash again?

didn't we literally, just a month ago, find out that they were malware, and they got kicked out of the app store, but nobody cared, and yall started joining in record numbers despite the evil behaviors?

what did they suddenly do that was worse than being proven to be malware?

i really dont understand yall...

@mdszy you didn’t tell me the blue brown guy was CUTE!

i have to admit that one thing that surprised me about the pandemic is how little regard medical professionals have for data.

not just that they forgot to order tests during the two-month run-up, but that they don't manage the data they *do* have: people tested, confirmed cases... even the number of deaths.

until this month, i had blindly assumed that medical people understood how important data is to problem solving. this will be eye-opening for them, i hope

sometimes i feel like the last 15 years of my life have been wonka going "wait. stop. don't." with resignation... or the kid at the end of time bandits shouting "mom! dad! don't touch it! it's evil!"

and then after they do the bad shit anyway, everyone looks around in deep surprise at the result, for some reason
