Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

My first thought was NYT font actually, it made me laugh quite a bit. I think the Chomsky reference is real.

Oh.... holy shit. I think you're right. That's a much better joke.

To me it looks like the font for a Nazi-era newspaper headline.

Weird they all look the same, right?

You're probably thinking of Blackletter, which was quite common in Germany.
