I think we all can agree that Comic Sans MS reflects the current US government best, both spiritually and aesthetically.

- lo_zamoyski 10mo agoI would say it’s worse than that. Read Plato’s “Republic” and you may come to appreciate a much more expansive appropriateness of Comic Sans, beyond just the current administration.
- hilbert42 10mo agoI have, many times, hence my earlier comment. If Rubio read Republic then he's just demonstrated that he'd not have understood it.
- nimbius 10mo agoi tend to find the kerning issues noted by the calibri team are moot. most Times New Roman is perfectly legible with careful observation and maybe a fresh cup of covfefe.
- adolph 10mo agoYour comment may be in jest but there is some evidence that "easier to read" does not benefit "retain what was read." And that brings us back to these ugly fonts. Because their shapes are unfamiliar, because they are less legible, they make the mind work a little harder; the slight frisson of Comic Sans wakes us up or at least prevents us from leaning on the usual efficiencies. “The complex fonts . . . function like an alarm,” Alter writes. They signal “that we need to recruit additional mental resources to overcome that sense of difficulty.” https://lithub.com/the-ugliness-of-comic-sans-has-a-practical-use/ https://lithub.com/the-ugliness-of-comic-sans-has-a-practica...
- ndkap 10mo agoAs an aside, I didn't know what Comic Sans looks like, so I searched on Google and it rendered the whole page in that font. I tried with other Fonts too like Arial and Times New Roman, and it did the same there. So cool!
- tracker1 10mo agoVery cool... but I can't seem to get it to do so for other fonts I can think of off the top of my head... Inconsolata, Consolas, Fira Code, etc. "Times New Roman" does work as well. Would be cool to see google support this for at least all the fonts in Google Fonts' library, since they're already well supported web fonts.
- rbanffy 10mo agoSadly, it doesn't work with the coolest niche fonts... https://www.google.com/search?q=ibm+3270 https://www.google.com/search?q=ibm+3270
- lippihom 10mo agoThis was super cool - nice little Google easter egg.
- LucasFonts 10mo agoIf you search for Lucas de Groot (the designer of Calibri) you will get the results displayed in Calibri.

- themadturk 10mo agoMaybe when (if?) the Democrats take back the House and Senate in 2026. Right now Congress is solidly right-wing and sees no reason to impeach...nor would a conviction ever happen, even if the trial was held.
- dragonwriter 10mo ago> Honestly when are we going to impeach Trump, he's basically the same Hitler. When did Germany impeach Hitler? Also, Donald Trump has already been impeached as many times all other Presidents combined.
- jpster 10mo agoI beg to differ. Wingdings is more like it.
