😡 This petition was rejected

On basis that government is not responsible for 'the particular individual'

🤪 Boris Johnson appointed Robbie Gibb!

If it's our public service broadcaster we need clearer governance

So we can use petition system to require Parliament to debate unsuitable board members

TOP TEN REJECTED STATE DEPT FONTS

10. Rubio
9. Tragic Sans
8. Covfefe
7. Fulgencio Handwriting
6. Soviet Underwood
5. Atlas Shrugged
4. Mussolini Neue
3. Von Ribbon-Trop
2. Foam Party
1. Trumpf Dingbats
Mr. Rubio said switching back to Times New Roman would “restore decorum and professionalism to the department’s written work.” Calibri is “informal” when compared to serif typefaces like Times New Roman and “clashes” with the department’s official letterhead. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

An officer tells us it showed up unbidden on the computer today. For lack of anything better to do they tried it, asking when the latest NDS was. It replied with a history of Nintendo.

If you have the means, now would be a good time to get the hell out of the US. Those considering visiting the US for the World Cup and Olympics need to reconsider.

Step one: Don’t let anybody in from outside.

Step two: Don’t let anybody out from inside.

oh no I agree with Marco Rubio on something.
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move
Rubio Stages Font Coup: Times New Roman Ousts Calibri
The secretary of state called it a "wasteful" diversity move, according to an internal department cable seen by Reuters.

Pope Leo on Trump vs Europe: “It’s program that Trump and his advisers put together, and he’s president of the US & has a right to do that. It has a number of things in it that I think while many people in US would be in agreement with, many others would see things in a different way”

Reminder that Russia is planning terrorist attacks in the US, Canada, and Europe. Also, that on the 2024 US election day Russia sent terrorist threats to primarily democrat polling stations to aid Donald Trump. It's all connected.

Biden was there to be pushed - his son had just died - but he could have been encouraged to stay in.
Pushing Biden out of the way in 2016 changed history and not for the better
Biden would’ve beaten Trump in 2016, no one has yet convinced me otherwise

Circa 1983 I had the good fortune, via Meade Roberts, to spend a day and a half watching John direct. It was the honor of a lifetime. The lessons of craft, and of the heart, linger still.

May he rest in peace and glory, reunited with Gena...

Can we agree to STOP CONSUMING POLITICO?

Trump has been named most influential politician in Europe by Politico

Putin 5th. LePen 4th. Farage 6th. Orban 12th. Zelenskyy 14th.

Can we pair it with FT that proclaimed head of Russia Today as one of the most influential people and throw it in trash?

Poetry is the art & skill of compression, concision, & expressing things in surprising ways that force people to pay attention.

I'm a middling poet at best. But I bring the skills to bear on everything I write. You'd think it's common, but it's not. Where my work stands out, that's why.
If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.
