That’s just mean for the sake of being mean. The only joy MAGA can feel nowadays is hurting others.

Specify 1.25” margins too, Marco!


Marco standing by the ready to impose whatever line spacing and text kerning guidelines his demonic overlords from Tel Aviv dictate next, no doubt.

What a POS. 🤣

Yes. Like the new boss who can’t wait to change committee names.

This is at the forefront of the American conversation.

Today they stood up for Times New Roman!

Tomorrow it will be re-named Times New American by Executive Decree. It will match the strength and integrity of the Great American Straw Executive Order!

It’s almost like “woke” describes things that are good.

I can see these idiots doing just as you said though. Remove those ramps now! Billions of dollars in construction costs be damned!


What if we keep ramps but end Metro Access? Is that woke enough?

This is micro-management of the highest degree.

That said, they really should be using open-source typefaces rather than proprietary ones (to which Calibri and Times New Roman belong). In general, sans-serif typefaces are best for headlines and large format and serif typefaces are best for body text. This has historically applied to printed material for hundreds of years. It gets a bit muddied when talking about material intended to be viewed on a computer monitor as opposed to a printout, since monitors tend to have inferior resolution (though this is changing).

However, I do prefer Times New Roman, and any classic font, to Calibri and other sans-serif fonts.

I'll stick to complaining about ICE cruelty and murders in international waters.



Agree that ICE cruelty and murders are objectively worse, but we don't have to pick. Don't let them trick us.

WTF, Marco Rubio?

I’m a Garamond and Helvetica girlie but accessibility should always come first.
