One of the best movies of the year. Dripping in satire which would be even funnier if the social commentary it’s ripping the piss out of wasn’t so close to reality
The influence & power of large tech / #socialmedia companies on government policy is hammed up in #DontLookUp but it’s only a representation of what really happens & why we have to ensure that they should not be permitted to continue to self regulate
How modern society can be at times shallow and fickle is brilliantly exposed in #DontLookUp & how important issues are trivialised into media friendly sound bites for viewer numbers
#DontLookUp is a movie you could watch many times and see something different in it each time. If you do watch it make sure you watch it to the very end of the credits

This week has the potential to be very polarising & damaging on the issue of schools so please bear in mind:
🔵 teachers are not the enemy if they’re anxious about going back to work
🔵 parents / kids who are anxious about going back have valid concerns
🔵 children do need to be back in school for educational social & mental health reasons
🔵 needing to be back doesn’t mean it’s covid safe to be back
🔵 kids not going back isn’t easy for parents without childcare
🔵 teachers & school staff will be out because of covid
🔵 principals can’t magic staff out of a magic teacher closet
🔵 principals are doing the best they can with what they have at their disposal & sometimes more than their best
🔵 teachers are mothers & fathers of kids who go to school too
🔵 some kids are delighted for a day off
We have a really good opportunity with the new Online Safety Bill to build in protective mechanisms to empower players if they are targeted or abused online, to make a complaint, outside of the structures of the social media companies #OSMRBill
Everyday on Twitter you see people who made a report for an abusive tweet and they get no response, so we need to have a mechanism in the #OSMRBill to protect people by providing for an individual complaints mechanism
