The Fifth Circuit using a typeface called "Equity" is simply too on-the-nose. Margaret Atwood would reject it as lacking subtlety.

heckuva job, @colorado.gov
Tangential, but this ties in to part of what made me so mad about that WSJ article a few weeks back that claimed Denver has America's "emptiest downtown:" that is true by exactly one metric (commercial real estate vacancy rate) that is not very illustrative in the post-COVID era.
That article was premised on the very American idea that the purpose of "downtown" is to be driven into at 8:30, driven out of at 5:30, and home to offices that are silent from street level in between. Denver is very intentionally trying to do something different with its downtown, and that's good!
We're probably never going back to almost all white collar workers being in the office five, or even three, days a week. The idea that you can't have a vibrant urban core or an effective transit system without that is unimaginative at best and active civic sabotage at worst.
I want the "stochastic parrot" people to read this and then say "stochastic parrot" again a few more times, as if they were some bird trained to regurgitate a key phrase in a probabilistic manner

anyway it was really nice to see 5280 explicitly rebut that WSJ piece along these lines, with both anecdote and data
I feel like I'm trapped in a quantum superposition where it's simultaneously true that this is my politics and I hate it
