Sneha Solanki  ‘The Lovers’

Two networked machines, one infected with a virus, slowly infects the other through the interface of classic romantic poetry.

A breakdown in the relationship was inevitable once the virus had seeped into the memory of one machine and then into the other through a singular network cable affecting the poetic text files. Communication between the two deteriorated, leading to irrational & at times odd behaviour. Each machine reacted with equal confusion and conflict. The interface text became an illegible poetic mutation of itself.

This is just The Magnus Institute.

Nope.

They have a gas-based firefighting system instead of sprinklers for obvious reasons. It does lower the percentage of oxygen in the building, but not enough to kill anyone.

I found this by googling “Yale library fire oxygen.” It was literally the first result.

Fact-checking is your friend.

It’s true. It’s not the fire suppression system that kills you. The Librarians come and personally murder you for starting a fire in a library. But you didn’t start a fire you say? No matter. You are collateral damage. Everybody gets killed to show that arsonists have no chance of escaping justice

The last addition is Terry Pratchett. 

This is The Librarian. He was a human wizard once, but got turned into an orangutan and greatly prefers it that way. He can also make use of L-space, which is a dimension that connects libraries, making it possible for him to travel at non-euclidian speeds to erupt from the aether and clothesline you into another dimension.

Godzilla x Kong will be about them almost setting a library on fire.

I've been stressed lately so I've been relistening to the Alex Jones depositions to relax. I think my favorite repeating bit is when the plaintiffs lawyer will ask a totally normal question like "Do you recall saying this?" And Alex will go on like a 5 minute rant trying to evade. But he gets so into the evasion rant that he starts to make himself mad and completely loses track of the topic and then the lawyer just goes:

"Mr. Jones do you know what question I just asked you"
