The Wacky War On Woke Typefaces
I guess I feel safer. Those woke sans serif typefaces won’t be in my face any longer. At least in official communications from the State Department.
Trump professional suck up, currently serving as Secretary of State, Marco Rubio has declared that all official communications from the State Department ditch the woke typeface Calibri and return to using the more traditional Times New Roman. Apparently the Biden administration flipped on the woke switch in 2023. But no longer!
Rubio’s statement, while hiding behind the claim of clarity and formality, let the cat out the bag by castigating radical diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility programs in his statement. These wingdings just keep on winging and dinging with their distaste for anything they fear might smack any type of inclusion that doesn’t include bribery.
I guess if you’re on a binge to eradicate history you don’t like, ban books you’ve never read, and are afraid of anything and everything that doesn’t fit your warped world view, you might as well get rid of offending typography. Because, hey, there’s nothing else of import happening in the world that might need some attention.
Maybe we’ll find out just how far the big tech oligarchs are willing to follow the administration’s lead if they start removing the Calibri typeface from future software updates. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if that actually happens.

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AFP) -- Jamaica on Wednesday rebuffed a push by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to sever a programme that brings in Cuban doctors, who have become critical to health care in fellow Caribbean countries despite allegations of labour exploitation. Donald Trump's top diplomat held talks on the sidelines of a Caribbean summit aimed in part at finding new ideas on violence-ravaged Haiti, with host Jamaica saying it would help the new US administration in a "global war on gangs." But Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness made clear his differences with Rubio on the doctors, who are sent by Cuba around the world and have become a major source of revenue for the cash-strapped government. Rubio, a Cuban-American and vociferous foe of the communist government in Havana, announced last month that the Trump administration would bar visas for foreign government officials who assist the programme, which he characterized as human trafficking. "Let us be clear, the Cuban doctors in Jamaica have been incredibly helpful to us," Holness said at a joint news conference with Rubio. He said that the 400 Cuban doctors in the country filled a deficit as Jamaican health workers emigrated. "We are, however, very careful...

En ciblant le Hamas et l’Iran, en réaffirmant le projet «audacieux» de Trump d’annexer la bande de Gaza, #MarcRubio, chef de la diplomatie américaine, met de l’huile sur le feu alors qu’une trêve fragile est en vigueur et doit déboucher sur la fin de la guerre.
