“Adolf Hitler bans Gothic font from Nazi publications for being too Jewish”
Man, I fucking hate how much history rhymes
Time is a flat circle that only consists of about 100 years.
So just how gay CAN the Calibri font make you? Merely fabulous? Or are we talking about midriff-baring T-shirt and nut-hugger shorts gay?
Rubio’s memo has designated Times New Roman as his tenure’s official font, stating it will “restore decorum and professionalism” to documents.
Bro it’s going to take more than a font change!
We are a Wingdings nation!
It’s good to see the papyrus guy bounced back and became Secretary of State
Just when you think you’ve heard all the ridiculous shit out there, this guy goes and proves you wrong.
I’m surprised he didn’t make everything comic sans
It is the traditional font of scammers and grifters. Comic Sans is perfect for Rubio.
When I first saw this I mistook Calibri for Cambria. Why were they using Calibri (a sans serif font) at 15px for documents in the first place?
Associating the change with DEI is absolutely ridiculous, but Calibri was a silly choice. I think they should make everyone use LaTeX personally 😄
So this is 100 percent true, verifiable, by me. Just keep in mind this is the same admin that wanted to cut ‘frivolous spending’. Think for a minute the wasted development hours changing the font on every webpage on every portal that DoS uses. Seriously, it’s fucking stupid.
I thought “tech crunch” was something silly that Silicon Valley (the TV show) made up!
The font was chosen in an effort to make documents easier to read for the vision impaired.
This is like removing the requirement of having curb ramps on new sidewalks because it makes it possible for people in wheelchairs to navigate
Trust that these people would 100% be removing the curb cuts from every sidewalk if they thought they could get away with it.
He wanted to make it Times Neo Nazi but was informed that didn’t exist
(please no one check or inform me if that’s actually a thing or even close to real)
This has got to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.
He should ban toilet paper, it’s too woke.
TP is gay as fuck. Rubbing your own ass is sin. Didnt you know? On reddit there were a couple of posts about redneck guys not wiping their own shitty ass, as it is gay to touch anus or anus be touched. The brainrot is frightening, yet fascinating with this sample group of institutionalised uneducation, xenophobia, egoism and patriachal focused propaganda.
Anus be touched sounds like a country music song
I have never in my life tied a font to politics or morality.

Tis not the font but the fonter.
spoken like a Gill Sans user
Garamond does look somewhat Apple-ishly pretentious, and Lucida does evoke associations with Sun and some corporate spirit, and Arial\TNR\CN trio does feel like “Windows font classic” combination.
But banning a more readable font to show you have “decorum” … there’s a word “чмошник” in Russian, I’ve recently realized I’m that, and also a whole crowd of adults and peers around me 13 years ago. Actually there’s just one girl who wasn’t that, and one adult. Who got the shortest straws in that story.
That word means someone miserable and envious enough to look for confirmations and signs of coolness in all things they use and do.
I’ve also recently realized that I don’t like computer people, and of other professions dealing with calculation and materiel. They are glorified bookkeepers and managers. The reason tech workers dislike management so much is because the whole industry is much like machine-assisted management. Paradox of small differences.
Yeah, I know you lot like being perceived as magicians and the industry as having something to do with intelligence. Read de Saint-Exupery’s Citadel, there’s a passage on “a special book for generals”, and you will recognize that whole industry, from its lowly brick layers to its prophets.
чмошник (rude, derogatory) schmuck, stooge, sleazeball, jerk (contemptible person)
So yeah I agree.
About me? Well, I don’t object, as I’ve just said. Perhaps I’m just tired of computers. I like them as tools. But I don’t worship wooden planks or vinyl panels or concrete from which houses are built.
That rudeness was in self-critique anyway.
If that helps, Tolkien’s “Leaf by Niggle” I prefer much to “Citadel”. But it’s not matter of preference, I can’t hide from what that book says.
Or if that’s about Rubio, I don’t think anyone doubted.
i mean you can’t spell calibri without lib. where’s your god now, atheists?
At the same time it’s reminiscent of “caliber”, which one would expect to appeal to good Christians.
