A font is woke?
I’d like to think comic sans is due for some more hate - does that count?
They don’t even dislike the font itself. They dislike that it was designed with accessibility in mind. Because they are evil assholes.
Yeah that’s what’s fucked up. It’s easier to read if you have dyslexia. So they’re getting rid of it just to be assholes.
Don’t tell them about Atkinson Hyperlegible. It’d melt their brains
No, Rubio and those like him are just morons.
They changed the style guide during the Biden administration IIRC. TNR to MS Office default Calibri.
The rule is “everything they did is woke” so by their reckoning, yup. Woke as fuck. It’s like:
#1 MLK Jr. Day Exists #2 Juneteenth nee holiday #3 Calibri font
i think their reasoning for the change also was that it’s easier to read for certain people with disabilities
… so that’s where they get the DEI part from
… but… wasteful? what the actual fuck
I’m sure the “wasteful” part is it took staff time to send a memo about it.
My local news site wrote that they changed back to times new roman because the calibri font was developed for people who had difficulties to read (like dyslexia I assume), thus DEI and the current administration has to change it back.
Yeah, exactly. They got the handover notes of what their DEI program accomplished. That’s a list of things to undo.
being able to read is woke, so they’re going back
Ok so what I’m gathering today is that the news is stupid as fuck today and I should occupy my time by going outside instead. Fuck this noise.

Perfect article for this community. Begins with:
In an action that reads like a story from The Onion
Truly using his political power to help Americans everywhere. What a hero.
Big Font is all over this. I can smell them.
probably cause it was a biden thing. cali to the standard windows font anyway
I hope this guy becomes visually impaired. Are there thugs one can hire out there that can make it happen? Can we crowd source the funds for such a project?
Time to use wingdings
Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/736/
Brave of Rubio to go against the President’s push for Comic Sans.
As America loses it clout and it’s international influence, the state department focuses on THIS? And I much prefer NTR of calibri, but good God, is this the only thing Rubio is capable of?
I’ve noticed that a lot of the material produced by the Trump admin uses Garamond Condensed which is the same font Apple used on its machines and corporate documentation in the 1980’s and 1990’s.
I think it was just the 1980s and 1990s. #SaveTheApostrophes for when they’re required.
And with font discussions comes this guy…

The real reason may be that they want to make it harder for their forged documents to be discovered: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibri#In_crime_and_politics
This makes the most sense to me.
That’s a sensible reason but these people appear to be just that stupid and petty.
Would be pretty fun to see the reverse being how it’s discovered. This 2023 doc that’s written on the wrong font
Well that was a fascinating and hilarious read. Thanks for posting that!
That said, 2006 was a long time ago now, I think that kind of issue with the calibri font in particular is going to become less and less relevant.
It’s not. It’s that TNR was the standard for some swirling “back then” time frame and switching to the MS Office default font happened under Biden. It’s literally because they looked at a list of changes under Biden, labeled them all “woke” and only have so many staff hours a day to “unwoke” everything.
