So today I found out that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was TED’s most watched talk of the year.
It’s sort of amazing & terrifying. Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like.

Incredible that Rubio’s major acts as Secretary of State have been (i) sentencing hundreds of thousands of children to death, (ii) betraying Ukraine and Europe to the Russians and (iii) changing a font.
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.

Yesterday, Trump authorized NVIDIA to sell advanced chips tech directly to China, undermining our strategic advantage, after they gave money to his inauguration fund, ballroom & more.
But this isn't the first time. Just last week, I called out a similar scheme Trump pulled with the UAE this summer.
