I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people.
I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

Texas had traffic cameras briefly, but then ripped them out. I’ve always assumed it was because our Attorney General was having an affair, and didn’t like the idea of being caught on camera. Meanwhile, cameras really could provide a societal benefit, if we really wanted our traffic laws enforced
