Memo from Marco Rubio reportedly said cutting Calibri from official communication would ‘abolish yet another wasteful DEIA program

US diplomats have been ordered to return to using the Times New Roman typeface in official communications, with secretary of state Marco Rubio calling the Biden administration’s decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move, according to an internal department cable seen by Reuters.

The department under Rubio’s predecessor Antony Blinken switched to Calibri in 2023, claiming the modern sans-serif typeface was more accessible for people with disabilities because it did not have the decorative angular features and was the default in Microsoft products.

    Literally anything to avoid doing actual work.

    Republicans are like the one asshole in the group project that shows up with some stale donuts once and thinks they’ve fulfilled their end of the group project responsibilities.

      So true lol. They are the type of teammate who only shows up 20% of the time, works on one tiny piece of the project with lots of help from other members, then claims they did all the work or blames everyone else when the project doesn’t get finished on time.
