"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?
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.
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!
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)
Just when you think you've heard all the ridiculous shit out there, this guy goes and proves you wrong.
This has got to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.
They 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.
Imagine being scared of your own butthole ffs!
Anus be touched sounds like a country music song
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.
I have never in my life tied a font to politics or morality.
𝕬𝖗𝖊 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖘𝖚𝖗𝖊 𝖆𝖇𝖔𝖚𝖙 𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖙?
Tis not the font but the fonter.
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.
Reminder that Donald J. Trump fucks children and there is proof of this that they are trying to distract us from in order to protect him and the rest of the kidfuckers.
STAY ON POINT.

So It's Republican policy that the government must not, even in the smallest way, make life any easier for disabled people? And the government must not do nothing and leave in place something that already makes life easier for them, but must actively intervene to make it harder? Of course it is, but what the fuck is wrong with these people that they dedicate their entire life to getting into government so they can punch down and hurt others? How have they not even accidentally stumbled into being better than the worst they can be?
Gotta hurt. Thats the policy.
Its the culling of the herd. They feel they know best what the make up of the country should be. Its the same thing as eugenics. It makes sense if you think helping the disabled is a waste of resources.
How do you develop this point of view? How did people become convinced the h man was right? People are susceptible to propaganda. I heard the comments on popular sites about Taylor Swift being pro right after her last album was 25% astroturf. Heard from Phil Defranco on yt, there was a study.
Go look at the shit on truth social. I've met people that only look at the conservative part of the web, like fox news junkies of the last 25 years. They're radicalized by astroturf, then hide in these echo chambers. Most of the discourse is directed by people with vested interest in political outcomes.
People I was friendly with were trying to say Charlie Kirk would have been a good president when he died. He was such a kind and selfless Christian, they say. I cant find anything defendable in his media output, but once you're radicalized, its just about hitting the talking points. "Woke ideology." "Trans mind virus." "Communists and Socialists." "Empathy is bad for our coutry." Once you believe you're surrounded by enemies, its easy to be manipulated by fear.
Fascists always go after disabled people first because it’s harder for them to fight back and fascists are cowards.
"Unlike you woke snowflakes I use Times New Roman"
That's it, were only going to use comic Sans serif from now on!
its a nice distraction of whats going in with the epstein files, and immigration.
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 😄
Oh they found that the font was helping someone. Can't have that.
These people are such fucking trash...
Ok Boomer
Imagine being so much snowflake that a simple font upsets you. Words fail.
I thought “tech crunch” was something silly that Silicon Valley (the TV show) made up!
"Small government" but also lets waste money on dumb shit like this that doesn't matter.
Also wouldn't a serif font cost more in ink over the course of millions of documents printed? Those serifs might not take a lot of ink to add but they do add up.
What a weird flex
Ugh.
At least Arial exists. And Helvetica. But Times New Roman? What is this, English class in the early aughts? 12pt font, double spaced with one inch margins?
Hell, if you want wanna make America great again make it Courier; tech bros'll think you're coding but we know you really just want to take us back to late 1800s when typewriters and bad economic policy were in. Or maybe something appropriate for this administration, like Wingdings.
