ES ACOJONANTE porque Hitler hizo esto mismo: demonizó fuentes modernas como la Futura, asociada a la Bauhaus, e instó a usar tipos góticos como la Fraktur. Después dio un bandazo y promocionó la Antiqua. Pero sí, su afán de control llegó a la tipografía.

Hey, ever noticed how QAnon has totally disappeared? No more conspiracy theories. No more breathless media reports giving it attention and therefore visibility.
It was bullshit. All of it. It was Russians or Trump's henchmen. They got what they wanted and they're done.

Steve Bannon is the latest guy to throw a Nazi salute and most US media don't even report it. Meanwhile the NYTimes has an article about the rise of the far-right in Germany.

For those despairing how UK and USA media normalise the radical right: here is the Dutch NRC (our NYTimes) interviewing Rainer Rothfuß - Pro-Russian AfD member in the Bundestag.
Poor Rainer complains how really it's the radical right that is the persecuted minority.

Have a list of muted words from Trump to MAGA to Musk. Still drowning in US self-pity.
Hey Yanks. You're the richest, most powerful country ever. Half of you still vote for a racist rapist and the other half asks the rest of the world for sympathy.
Bluesky; is there a way to mute a whole country?

Wilders en zijn populistische clowns zijn druk bezig Nederlandse democratie te ondermijnen. Echte problemen hebben ze geen interesse in of maken ze actief erger.
Hoe lang voordat ze de schuld beginnen te geven aan obstructie van 'linkse elementen' in de overheid?

Hah hah. God. Apologies to pro-EU Brits, but this is hilarious.
Round and round they go. The UK government desperately tinkering around the edges, searching for the special treatment they feel they deserve. UK news desperately pretending the country did not screw itself as much as it actually did.
