The Sacred Spacing Of Mathematical Typography
The mathematical typography struggle is real! The top equation shows the blasphemous sin of writing mathematical expressions without proper spacing (2x dx instead of 2x \, dx). The bottom panel shows the correct formatting with proper spacing between variables and differentials - and that intense, bloodshot eye represents every mathematician's visceral reaction when they spot improper LaTeX spacing. The difference is subtle to normal humans but causes physical pain to anyone who's ever submitted a paper to a mathematical journal. It's like nails on a chalkboard for people who spend their lives arranging symbols in perfect harmony.

These Jokers Literally Wrote A 300-Page Compliance Document Entirely In Comic Sans
Someone at the Utah Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control woke up and chose violence. Comic Sans – the typographical equivalent of showing up to a nuclear physics conference in a clown costume. The fact that this is page 1 of 327 suggests there are 326 more pages of this typographical crime against humanity. Nothing says "we take radioactive waste very seriously" like a font designed for children's birthday invitations. Imagine being a facility manager, receiving this document, and realizing your radiation safety protocols are being evaluated in the same font used for lemonade stands and lost cat posters. The true half-life of professional credibility? Approximately 0.3 seconds after opening this document.
