Sins of Set Design
Everybody should look at this piece that analyzes the heinous set decorating employed by the most powerful man in the world. His sets are worse than Trump's toupee. They look like FOX News took a dump on the stage, having just consumed the most tasteless Presbyterian Church decoration from the late 70s and washed it down with a Big Gulp full of 90s Outlet Mall. Makes the set of the Daily Show look understated.
Why the ugly colors? Why the clunky, regressive, graceless font? Why the overwhelming, ugly shapes? It's not a new thing for me to be offended by the way your people position you vis-a-vis the camera, how they use and abuse space, scale, color, shape, imagery, and symmetry to hammer home (reinforce? establish?) your authority. Still, every iteration just gets progressively worse. What, does a shred of subtlety not work? Aren't you out to impress? Paging Albert Speer...
Why does this matter? Because our brains are being exposed to this toxic, neuron-murdering garbage every day, that's why! Because fonts do speak - presentation is like the soundtrack under the dialogue. These sets grab you by the lapels and scream really juvenile, ugly, faux-patriotic slogans into your face. But Brand can probably say this better than I am.

Judge Moran denied plaintiff Trading Technologies ("TT") motion to compel additional deposition testimony from third party Brucato, the founder of TT's competitor Catus Technologies. TT subpoenaed Brucato's deposition relating to Catus's work with defendant eSpeed or TT's software. Brucato appeared for the deposition and answered questions on those topics, but refused to answer questions regarding work for clients other than eSpeed. TT argued that evidence of Catus's work with other third party clients was relevant to show proof of widespread copying, which is an indicia of non-obviousness. The Court acknowledged that, but balanced the relevance against TT's need for the evidence and the hardship to Catus. The Court found that TT's request was only based upon TT's suspicions or speculations as opposed to any hard facts and that the connection, therefore, was not strong enough to warrant the risk third party Catus faced in providing such information to its competitor TT.
