Fonts are in the news, so I'm going to take the opportunity to port over an old thread: what was typography like in the Soviet Union?
Spoiler: they did not just have 1 font everyone had to use. As a matter of fact, there were 39.
One of them, you can see here, used to great effect for "Chernobyl."

We find ourself in the dangerous position of having our public forums owned by billionaires who have extreme power to control algorithms that decide what we all see and don’t. That’s scary. I don’t know what we can do about that.

Why Santos is behind your soaring electricity and mortgage costs
It was a primary force behind Australia’s inflationary surge, it’s forced businesses either to the wall or to shift offshore, undermined national industry policy and resulted in the loss of countless thousands of jobs. And it all hinged on one disastrous decision in an Adelaide boardroom.

Chevron gets all the gas they export from Australia FOR FREE and sell it for massive profits. They have never paid PRRT and they got busted big time by the ATO for corporate tax avoidance.
But somehow they just have to cut 300-400 jobs.

Nuclear submarines will do nothing to protect Australian trade if war breaks out
The government’s maritime plan is built on a deeply flawed foundation and cannot deliver what it promises — particularly in the event of war between the US and China.
