Every year, alongside many others, we observe April 15 as Steal Something from Work Day—an opportunity to reflect on the causes and implications of workplace theft.

https://crimethinc.com/StealfromWork2025

This year, we turn our focus to so-called “Robin Hood employees”—those who steal from their workplaces in order to share with others. Loss prevention professionals allege that Robin Hood employees inflict losses on corporations much more efficiently than ordinary shoplifters or employees who only steal for their own benefit.

In other words, when it comes to redistributing wealth, the most effective approach is not to take things for yourself, but to share them with everyone.

in honor of scott adams biting the dust here are my favorite snippets from his wikipedia article

you forgot the best part

He ran a hypnok1nk mini cult

(I'm not adding an alt id because what even is this)

why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic

He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.

Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

Capitalism is disgusting.

Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj

he didn't even get to stand *trial*. because he's autistic. he's in an institution for life for hacking while autistic, without trial.

hey yall remember this

The US is lying about Iran. If you're helping them by spreading the false death figures conjured by the NED funded NGOs, you're a war-monger too

The misinformation coming out about Iran is so crazy.

CBS is just making up numbers for headlines and then backtracking later down in the article

Let's not get fooled and get on the same team as Zionazis who spent 2 years telling us that there is no genocide when the entire world was VERIFYING it.

Now these people are making up lies because they want the US to attack Iran. Just like they did last year. They don't actually care about Iranians or they wouldn't be asking Trump to bomb them.

And isn't CBS now run by Bari Weiss? She is a genocide denier and a propagandist for Israel. This is so easy to see right through

The source for the death toll is Iran International, a news channel that is owned by Saudi investors and has also received millions of dollars in funding by the Saudi Crown prince Muhammed bin Salman.

Many western sources, like the CBS quote them relatively often.

— Fred Hampton speaking about how you must practice your theory, or else it’s irrelevant, 1969.

Environmental storytelling or something like that

Interesting how the transfeminine version got marked mature literally *as* I posted it, very clearly hitting some sort of automated filter, while the cis version was untouched by the filter even though it was otherwise identical

I'd like to share my favorite reaction to the news of Scott Adams' (creator of Dilbert) passing

dude said on his blog that white people should "get the hell away from black people" and called an entire race of humanity a hate group but he also had a very correct view of managerial incompetence in office spaces

complicated legacy!

Here’s dril’s candles on a graph for reference.

It’s easy to look at these and assume “well, high crime cities need more police,” but i think that’s putting the cart before the horse.

Police make crime worse.

Police take fiscal oxygen out of the room, away from actual social support programs. The money spent on policing could go to housing, nutritional services, healthcare, civil rights, building inspections, labor rights enforcement, street maintenance, public transportation. But it goes to paying guys to sit around idling Ford Explorers all day and hitting poor people with sticks.

Crime follows poverty in absolutely every single case. Every single “high crime city” is because of the fucking poverty.

I think the weirdest form of fatphobia I keep bumping into is writers suddenly becoming deeply concerned with physical realism when a fat character is involved even in contexts where everybody's physical capabilities are explicitly bullshit. "They're fat, it wouldn't make sense for them to have super speed" and it would make sense for the 98-pound twink to be able to run at Mach Fuck? That's something skinny people can do in real life, is it?

If trench warfare were made-up, it would be the most on-the-nose anti-war satire ever created. Bunch of young men shooting at each other from inside open graves, slowly rotting even as they fight to stay alive. Every so often, they get to move a few hundred metres to dig a new grave for themselves somewhere else and this is called a victory.

Department of Homeland Security had a data breach and now over 3,000 employees info has been released

Database the names and motherfucking faces.

DOMS NEED AFTERCARE TOO!!!

Just as I suspected the second I read a news article on it, the Jackson Synagogue arsonist was a white Christian who is probably either a Christian supremacist, a white supremacist, or both.

How could I tell? The news kept vaguely saying "a suspect was apprehended" and "hate crime charges may be pressed" instead of immediately talking about terrorism. Because white Christians basically have the right to attack and murder Jews without being called what they are until the last possible moment: domestic terrorists, antisemites, Nazi fucking chuds.

sounds about right

DO NOT CALL THE REGULAR POLICE.

they are not on your side.

Very explicitly, in the video, the regular police straight up lie to the couple, telling them they will go to jail for harboring a fugitive if they dont hand the doordasher over, and that it doesnt matter if ice has a warrant for her arrest. NEITHER OF THESE THINGS ARE TRUE. You CANNOT be harboring a fugitive if the person you are haboring doesnt have a warrant out for their arrest! The warrant is what makes them a fugitive!

If ice wants access to someone on your property, do NOT hand them over unless you are shown a warrant signed by a judge! Make as much noise as you can to attract bystanders - it was the fact that a crowd gathered and started yelling at them that made ice leave in the video. And DO NOT expect the regular police to help you - they are just another arm of the state and will only do or say whatever they think is necessary to make you comply.

And make sure you film everything so you have evidence of what really happened if ice tries to enter your property illegally.

There was a time Scott "Dilbert Guy" Adams was seen as a "smart" public figure & somehow this was the same time he was publishing books where he talked about his belief in the Law of Attraction, advanced alternate theories of gravity, and created a inedible Dilbert-themed vegan burrito that contained every important vitamin & mineral since that makes it The Most Healthy Food & incomprehensibly branded it "the blue jeans of food" (since "everyone likes" & "almost everyone wears" blue jeans, just like how everyone would like & eat a Dilbert-themed undifferentiated lump of minerals that would destroy your guts if you so much as smelled it)

RIP to the Dilbert guy, creator of the Dilberito, who spent his last days begging Donald Trump to let him try a fake treatment and declaring his intent to convert to Christianity at the last minute bc of Pascal's Wager

This is how I learned Scott Adams died lmao

Same! And I am delighted to help spread that truth around the internet!
