There's a theory floating around the internet that these bizarre climate protests are actually meant to discredit the climate movement.

This sort of empty rhetoric is what OP is talking about.

The Verge reported that CEO Sundar Pichai defended the layoffs and claimed that workers sometimes reach out to express gratitude for the cuts. “And I just want to clarify that, through these changes, people feel it on the ground and sometimes people write back and say, ‘Thank you for simplifying.’ Sometimes we have a complicated, duplicative structure,” he said, per the Verge.

Chalmers: People send thank you's for lay offs?

Pichai: Yes.

Chalmers: May I see one?

Pichai: No.

McConnell, now nearing his 82nd birthday, is determined to fund the Ukrainian war effort, a push his allies have depicted as legacy-defining.

Sorry, Mitch, but that ship has sailed. Your legacy as "Trump's penis butler" is cemented for all time. Nothing else you do, or did, counts. Nothing you accomplished matters. If you're remembered at all it will be as a craven traitor.

This popped up over the weekend on my work PC. It was an emergency and I absolutely needed to get to my desktop ASAP.

Nope. Full screen advertisement for Windows 11 demanding my immediate and undivided attention. Blocking all other functions, commands, and inputs. I must interact with this ad or else I cannot use my computer.

Fuck. That.

I am never installing Windows 11. I am never buying another Microsoft operating system. Specifically because of this sort of heavy-handed dark patterned bullshit. Not to mention the fact that Windows 10 is dog shit.

The caption says that it's sat unfinished since 2019. So I'm assuming COVID lockdowns broke the developer's timetable/budget.
