Mario Rubio Orders the State Department to Ditch Its Woke... Font

Secretary of State Marco Rubio directed all diplomats to revert to using the Times New Roman typeface in official communications and criticized his predecessor for shifting to Calibri, a font deemed too woke for the Trump administration.
Two years ago, Rubio's predecessor, Antony Blinken, switched to Calibri, a softer, simpler-shaped, and wider font than Times New Roman, in part to assist individuals with certain visual disabilities such as low vision and dyslexia.

"Switching to Calibri achieved nothing except the degradation of the department's official correspondence," Rubio wrote in an "action request," obtained by Reuters and the New York Times.

Times New Roman is lean and angular and masculine. Calibri is "plus-sized" and effeminate. It's a Gay Font.

Rubio reportedly dinged the Blinken-era switch to Calibri as "wasteful" and woke in his Dec. 9 cable to personnel.
"To restore decorum and professionalism to the Department's written work products and abolish yet another wasteful DEIA [Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility] program, the Department is returning to Times New Roman as its standard typeface," Rubio reportedly wrote.

Okay, so this is super-silly, but I'm in a spiteful mood and I don't oppose the instinct to wipe away all vestiges of the old demented Regime, even the trivial ones.

3 Times New Roman has always been my preferred font. Probably because it was the default font on Word for like 20 years.

It just looks professional and clean, and there's an actual difference between the l and the I.

50 Sans-serif fonts are generally more Brutalist, so it makes sense the Commies are attracted to them. The big OG sans-serif Helvetica doesn't read that way to me, and there are others that have some actual character though.

Sans-serif is somewhat more readable on low-res computer displays, but at 1080P and up that's not really a problem.

But that's only if Harris feels the need to consolidate factions, which probably won't happen because she'll feel slighted and angry and bitter about everyone. So, she'll follow her own gut and go full black woman rage.

126 I can see the "wasteful" part, and it happens so much in government, they change things as an excuse to spend money.

It's there first thing I thought of here in NYC. Just recently they changed the way the subway map looks for "ease of use" (i.e. for complete fucking morons who didn't know the basics of a map) They put new ones up on all the trains and stations. Then a few weeks later they decided they are going to switch 2 trains, for something like 4 stops. Well that means all new signs and probably overtime for those installing them.

All the stupid trivial changes usually come with large costs. And while since of it might be because government is incompetent and never takes cost in to account, it's probably will more likely just another grift.

But, read the content. Sans-Serif is excellent for short-form; Serif fonts for longer form.

Arial for my short-form messages, not sure what preferred long-form is, since I don't produce long-form anymore, but it ain't Times New Roman.

172 Calibri was the forced default choice in Micro$oft products as of 10 or so years ago. Arial was the choice before that. And Times New Roman before that. My problem was that I formatted things for the font I was using, and M$ changing all the time meant my formatting would get screwed up. So I started forcing what font I used on every document.

I generally use Arial in a document. It looks less cluttered in a long read. I use TNR for titles and things if I want to make it stand out. I also use it for email addresses to avoid confusion between '1', 'l', and 'I'. (Some sans serif fonts do not put a little pfft on the 1.)

I've wondered if Calibri was made default in M$ Office because some coder hated his English teacher for catching him cheating to get to the requirement of "a 1 1/2 page essay."

Seriously, JD said he and Rubio were in the Oval discussing something, and Trump got distracted by their shoes. You guys have shitty shoes, he said, then went out and got a shoe catalogue right then and there and bought them all some decent shoes.

In the 90s in San Jose, CA, they went through a similar "ungendering" exercise. They decided "manhole" was too masculine. So with the flick of a pen (as Kamala liked to say) they decided the new name would be "maintenance hole." The cost of changing legal documents and the actual cast iron covers throughout the city went into the hundreds of $millions.

Because some twat somewhere was offended at "manhole."

Within 2 years of her winning her first House seat, having done nothing other than being loud at committee hearings, she seriously thought she could be Trump's VP for his second term. And then, even though she won her two races below the partisan makeup of her own district (she ran behind a generic Republican, essentially) she wanted to jump into the Senate race and be Trump's preferred candidate, simply because she was loud at committee hearings.

And when Trump didn't give her either of those things, she went all in on leftist meme du jour.

Yes, she's always been a grifter.

Owning a construction company and needing to minimize costs really affected her stance on illegal immigration as soon as immigration raids actually started, too.

One of my jobs in the lan survey department as a CAD tech is to read old survey documents, and much of it before 1910 was handwritten in cursive. Every surveyor had slightly different styles, and some are really hard to decipher, but once you see the pattern, such as how they wrote the letter F, etc. it becomes more clear. And some guys had much better handwriting than others. We've had interns who could not read it at all.

294 266 By the way, since the stories about Michigan's ex-football coach are so cryptic and apparently attempting to make headlines without actually REVEALING any content, what DID the coach do? "Assault"? On WHO? Was it the person he had the inappropriate relationship with? Or the person who fired him? And WHEN? Was the fireable offense an "assault"? Or did the "assault" happen after he was fired?
__

Reading between the lines, it appears he (married with 3 young kids) had a lengthy affair with his executive assistant, he got her pregnant, he told her to get an abortion, she told him to fuck off now pay up, he assaulted her, and then he said he was going to kill himself. Having the affair cost him his job, assaulting her landed him in the pokey.

When they choose sides, the side they are going to choose is not yours. You can motivate them. Either with the carrot or the stick. But note, they are subject to higher bids or greater threats.

_________________________________

I think dirt was collected in MTG. Back in August or September she made a speech in Georgia about something unimportant. BUT, she started off the appearance by making some odd statement like, "If they say I committed suicide, I DIDN't commit suicide." And, then just moved forward with the press conference without clarification.

Then, from that point forward she did a full 180 degree turn and became even more unhinged than previously. I think someone has her in a vice, and rather than covertly remain and work against the policy she decided to remove herself from the situation while simultaneously "showing" support for all those things she previously fought against.

383 Uh, it's all out there. He knocked up one of the admin assistants. After he was fired for boning the young lady leaving her impregnated because he's too stupid to keep it in his pants, he threatened to kill himself in front of his wife, then drove to the house of the girl he knocked up and threatened to kill her and them himself, while holding a knife to his own throat.

Having seen a photo of the admin assistant, I can't entirely blame him for the knocking up part. The suicide and murder threats not so much though.

The fact that it hasn't tells me that the left does not think it's winning right now, and that it would lose in a standoff that pitted individual states against the federal government.

Walz ordering the arrest of BP agents or ICE agents would be an act of outright insurrection, and Trump would have full authority to arrest most of the MN state government, using the military.

That's well beyond, "We're not telling the feds we have illegal aliens in our jails."

Aptos font doesn't exist in our version of Adobe so everything gets fouled up when trying to save a document to .pdf.

While I see what you are saying (really!), in my mind, there is no difference between using state cops to arrest federal cops for enforcing federal law, and the refusal to cooperate with the Feds by saying “we’re not telling the Feds about illegals in our jails”.
