Everybody knows that this is yet another distraction, but how fragile are they ready to look like. They feel threatened by a text font and some numbers these days.

Calibri kind of sucks, it's better on screen then TNR, but it's ugly as shit still. A better font could probably be found that reads well on screen and in print. But:
Rubio did admit in the memo that Calibri wasn’t the “most illegal, immoral, radical or wasteful” example of DEI to his mind’s eye, but he still berated the font for contributing to “the degradation” of the State Department’s official correspondence.
Fuck this guy, regardless.
Nah man I can actually get on board with this. I used to hate Times New Roman but it's streets ahead of the scourge that is Calibri, and with modern monitors serif fonts look fine.
The problem isn’t the font itself, it’s the fact that they’re being reactionary.
Must be a slow day in the state department...
What. An. Idiot.
You know how if you're reading a headline from the onion and you mistake it for real you've "eaten the onion?"
Is there a name for the reverse phenomenon? Where a real headline reflecting actual reality is so ridiculous that you reject it out of hand as satire only to realize it was genuine? Regurgitating the onion? What's the name for this?
Is there a name for the reverse phenomenon?
the onion has eaten you, maybe

Marco Rubio apparently doesn't have enough shit to do at work.
This is a distraction for the Pam Bondi memo

All future documents must be in Fraktur.
its not even funny because the nazis actually abolished Fraktur for being jewish or something..without googling it..yeah, probably something about "being jewish" that used to be their go-to, cant be wrong

I hope this gets incorporated in a College Humor font wars sketch...
I was expecting Comic Sans.
Uh-huh. Sure.
I'll get right on that, as soon as you can explain exactly how the singular genitive declension of the Latin word Dēus has literally any bearing whatsoever on office policies.
Hope someone throws acid in his face and impairs his vision. That would be golden.
I hope they make papyrus the official font
legitimately can't imagine being this much of an obedient and brainless little bitch
