Probably the best evil corporation name is Massive Dynamic from Fringe.

That is judged solely on the creativity of the name.

Oh yeah that's a good one

When Killer Instinct made character trailers for new characters in the game, they did an in-universe trailer for the Riptor character. Riptor was a velociraptor that the Ultratech Corporation had cloned. The in-universe trailer was amazing, they were all proud of themselves what they had made. Announcer's bassy voice saying ULTRATECH throughout, it was wonderful

Honestly I think the most realistic-sounding dystopian fictional corporate name is NBN

Net Broadcast Network! What could be sinister about that

The Morning Rant: Great News! Fewer High School Grads Proceeding to College as Enrollment Continues to Decline
—Buck Throckmorton

Here’s some news to gladden the hearts of those fed up with all the awfulness that surrounds higher education these days. Over the 2+ years since the start of the Covid panic, from spring 2020 to spring 2022, college enrollment has dropped almost 10%.

Despite my revulsion about the unscientific Covid protocols, it was my hope that the universities’ enthusiastic embrace of Covid sharia would repel future students. It seems to be happening. We can hope that the prestige and importance of universities will be another casualty of Covid.
rofl

Rylinks, this guy feels about college like you do about public school

It really succinctly communicates an idea.

To be clear I'm not defending the idea, just the value of the term as a vehicle for communication.

COVID martial law seems to convey the intention better, unless the point is to also fear monger about Muslims

its effective, but doesnt quite roll off the tongue. what about "quarantining the healthy," or "negative quarantines."

Sharia is as much a matter of faith as it is a legal system, the argument generally made by the detractors to the covid reaction here is that our response didn't follow the science and that it was a matter of faith. Moreover Covid didn't have anything to do with Islamic parts of the world. Calling 'Covid Sharia' a dog whistle there is a real reach that I don't think is reasonably supported by the history of the disease and is pretty nonsensical to boot. I mean what are you decoding that to: "Our covid response sucked and I hate Muslims?" It doesn't make any rational sense.

You're discounting the element of faith the phrase imparts. Covid Martial Law just doesn't do that nearly as well.

So I actually came in to say that Scotus has got some an explosive few weeks ahead of it. There are a ridiculous number of merit cases still pending, they didn't do any last week, and there were like three today.
