New York Times articles headline and summary: At State Dept., a Typeface Falls Victim in the War Against Woke Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the Biden-era move to the sans serif typeface "wasteful," casting the return to Times New Roman as part of a push to stamp out diversity efforts.

“Whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight woke on the beaches,
we shall fight woke on the landing grounds,
we shall fight woke in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight woke in the hills;
we shall fight woke in the printer,
we shall fight woke in graphic design,
we shall never surrender.”

I guess these are some of the "sticking points" that have been holding up a nice quick settlement.

It is so weird how they never seem to run out of people to be scared of.

Only in New York.

Oh I was planning on clicking through, just don’t have the time now. That is a good list!

5,000 Fingers of Dr. T??? I need to see the whole list! (For many years I was half-convinced I had fever-dreamed that movie into existence in my head, because no one else has ever seen it.)

Prisoners who stay in touch with people at home while locked up are less likely to return to prison.

When released prisoners are convicted and sent back to prison, it means job security for public employees and more revenues for for-profit prisons.

Capitalism runs on incentives.

I'm sold!

Gettin’ up the nerve.

It’s getting a little late in the third act guys.

Government is vibes, man. And pwning the libs.

I think one of the biggest reasons it’s happening here is that many people still believe it can’t happen here.

"If you're gonna spend a million bucks, you should look like a million bucks."

Make sure to wear your 5 lb. cufflinks so you can burn some extra cals.

"It literally means whatever I figure it should."

That's a great shot. What kind of errand was it running?

the Trump admin's argument in Trump v. Slaughter is twofold--that laws saying presidents can only fire people for good cause are unconstitutional, *and that any court orders that block Trump from firing people are unconstitutional--and I wish there was some more discussion today of that second part

Across the middle a ragged flock of small silhouetted birds fly across from left to right.

Monday morning and it’s off to work again.

Thanks!

The cruelty is most definitely the point. Sometimes the only point.

Norms and duct tape. All that's held the Republic together for over a century. All shredded for the One Special Boy because nothing seems to matter anymore.

Oh my god that’s a great one. I quote that line to myself about once a week.

Speaking of priority and immediacy, I think that’s why the big splash with these articles in the NYT pissed me off so much. It doesn’t matter whether I agree or disagreed with what was in them, but that they’re taking space away from serious crises at hand.

Mittens would claw the shit out of Hal so fast he would never even make it the Daisy part.

I’m in North Carolina. Unseasonably cold recently, and we might get some sleet tomorrow. I grew up in Philly, went to school near Cleveland and lived in New England for a few years - I miss a lot of stuff up there but I have gotten over regular snowstorms….
