mention of religion/politics
The annual “waaah Starbucks isn’t pushing my religion because clearly 2 millennia of genocidal hegemony isn’t enough.”
I always thought the simplest Starbucks holiday cup design would be making it a Santa as shown at left.
At right is my proposed design to mollify conservatives.

work vent, late capitalism
"Morale is a low because we're not winning [financially]."
No, morale is low because you keep laying people off, we're on our 3rd CEO in a year, you cancelled our budgets for active projects without offering alternate options, cut benefits for domestic partners, and banned travel for remote employees.
That's why morale is low. You could have absorbed the financial losses without hurting your workforce so much, but you didn't. That's on you, not "the market." 🖕
So when I found out about Smaug lizards my first reaction was "same"

#meta #tea: Remember, from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, that machine that "invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea"?
Only decades after reading that, in an office in another country, did I first meet an older British "tea" machine. It could, in theory, produce chocolate, coffee, or tea; but invariably delivered a cupful of brown liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike any of them.
And I said, "Oh THAT'S what he meant."
Fascism in the Workplace
My company's InfoSec group just put this MOTD in place for all users SSHing into our private internal dev server.
What possible benefit could result from this blatant fascist scare tactic? I just can't understand why companies so frequently treat their employees like criminals.
These sorts of messages are effectively microaggressions against those most negatively affected by late stage capitalism. They hurt the soul in a similar way.
