After the first two vignettes I was going to write, "Cthulhu would be proud" but then I saw you were going explicitly down that path.
Anyhow, it hits a nerve today because I have, just today, become aware of a potential missed objective related to, shall we say, my corporate duty to the Old Ones.

Meanwhile, not a single Thalassian works at the company.

Thank Cthulhu, Kurtis just wrapped up a slackbot to help us remember to use the correct words when speaking with each other."
Millions must be hooked .

Woke corporate District 9
So hard to find good Shoggoths these days.
Your days are numbered, the color will come back for you in your dreams lol
what does that mean
Cthuluesque woke threatening message. Chthonian lives matter
The fact that the fish people are actively planning our genocide is the key component of the metaphor.
A few years ago I re-read some Kafka and found it trite --- the reality of our bureaucratic nightmare is at a scale that dwarfs the Kafka-esque.
