Land acknowledgement in 2nd place for most irritating virtue signal after pronouns display. They did this all the time where I used to work. It's like, for 364 days and 23 hours and 59 minutes the rest of the year, you give absolutely zero fucks about the esselen and ohlone. But for the one minute it takes you to set up your soc media profile or email signature? Oh, you CARE. I SEE and am now so SHAMED by how much you CARE.

Asshats, all of them.

My first thought with all of these is "very nice, but are you going to give it BACK? Then shut up."

Exactly. Like the meme of that latte drinker complaining about capitalism.
