I support this measure. Not for any ideological reason but because Calibri is ugly and hard to read. I prefer Bookman Old Style or Book Antiqua but Times New Roman, which is the standard in academia, will do in a pinch.

I write all of my own research in Book Antiqua and then convert to TNR before sending in for publication. This is a trick I learned years ago from this blog’s long-time friend Jonathan, and it made me more productive because I love how my text looks on a page.

    I’d like of like us to go to the font type Impact. It would be extremely hard on the printers, but it looks awesome.

    I like Times New Roman for writing documents, but use Helvetica/Arial for presentations. Not a fan of Calibri, there are better Sans Serif fonts to use. The one thing that I really hate, are people mixing fonts in their documents/presentations. Just pick a font and stick with it, thank you very much.

      I’m tired of the ripe sweat of betrayal.

      Traditional morality is winning. Not.

        Speaking of traditional morality, you remember conservatives being debanked during biden? Well, the trump is using that as excuse to get banks to do business with previously-debanked porn companies.

    Talk about tone deaf. “It’s a shame” that college students are going back to their countries instead of using their F1 visas as a backdoor into immigration.

    "They graduate from college, they have to go back to India, they have to go back to China…it's a shame, it's ridiculous, we're taking care of that. The companies are gonna be very happy and I know Apple's gonna be happy."

      I thought the whole point was to get an education, go back to the home country, and help make things better there?
