I know we’ve got a shitton of corporations naming themselves after the dystopian things in Lord of the Rings, but has anyone cut right to the chase and called their product “Omelas” yet?

Techbros read Tolkien but they do not read Le Guin.

@futzle my hot take is that techbros read and misunderstand Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

@futzle that said, I dislike Le Guin. I didn't read it as a teen, and her work seems now too childish for me... Same with Pratchett... 🫠
