The State Department's fight against woke fonts

It doesn’t get a lot dumber than this:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered diplomatic correspondence to stop using the Calibri font and return to the more traditional Times New Roman effective Wednesday, reversing a Biden administration shift to the less formal typeface that he called wasteful, confusing and unbefitting the dignity of U.S. government documents.

[…]

In [his cable], he said the 2023 shift to the sans serif Calibri font emerged from misguided diversity, equity and inclusion policies pursued by his predecessor, Antony Blinken. Rubio ordered an immediate return to Times New Roman, which had been among the standard fonts mandated by previous administrations.

I guess wasting your life on stupid shit like this makes you look like the saddest little boy in the world:

We’re boarding a ferry to the Mexican mainland today, so I wanted to see where I shouldn’t travel. Of course I used the Canadian government’s travel advice, because I can’t trust the US State Department to do anything right.
