I am looking forward to seeing what Biden's oval winds up looking like. Hagar the Horrible replacing the diet coke button and swapping out a $20 painting for a $hundo are just the beginning.

It's a small thing relative to everything else going on but I like that he brought back the blue rug from the Clinton Oval Office. It's probably an artifact of how old I was when I started becoming politically aware but I'd always kinda associated it with presidentiositude.

It'll never happen now thanks to the 2000 election and blue meaning Democrat, but our unofficial national color scheme really should just be blue and white like in the canton. In the way that the UK's are red and gold for most things. (Redcoats, Empire maps, the 'all red line', ministerial boxes, mail boxes, &c.) It kind of was (the flag of the President, diplomatic and consular flags, the Naval Jack) but it's just a lovely, calm, and professional color scheme.
He could decorate it in chartreuse and salmon for all I care as long as the rest of his actions in office are sane.

The diet coke button is super stupid but like, even if the President were super busy and needed a quick way to signal they wanted a drink (which Trump wasn't and which I'm sure already exist) a low level staffer with a can from the fridge is all you need. A butler, with a silver platter? Like I know why the White House had that kind of thing, but to bring you a can of soda? That's pathetic.
Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. - Lincoln

Yeah I was just saying to someone, high school kids figured out that bar fridges fit under desks for all night gaming ages ago.
Just put a bar fridge in arms reach.

i think people are missing the point that it's about making someone perform such a menial task for you because they aren't a real person to you and it adds to the air you try to pretend that you're a very busy businessman
Hasn't the button been around for quite awhile? I seem to recall some earlier presidents using it as a generic I-need-something bell before Trump single-purposed it?
Biden should attach it to a whistle in order to summon his dogs when someone in the room's being annoying.

It's a status symbol for (asshole) executives. "Make 'em jump" when it comes to your underlings, because you're the boss.

Sure, but my undergrad was in architecture. Design and aesthetics are important to me (and are communicative in their own way) and I'd like to see them do it well since it costs the same to do it poorly.
I'm also appreciating his wearing a pocket square. You have to go back to Reagan to find another President who understands what that pocket is there for. Though I wish he'd end the American flag lapel pin thing.
And man... I know Biden isn’t perfect. I will strongly disagree with plenty of his foreign policy and probably lots of other things. But the Muslim ban is gone. For the first time in 4 years I can see a big part of my family (post COVID at least.). It really feels like a new day, or at least a reprieve.

Edit: I’m just playing “remember some sodas”
Shasta all the way. Probably kiwi strawberry.
Surge? That's a 90s soda get the fuck out of here!

I mean there's a soda called Delaware Punch, absolutely Joe Biden would flex that.

You can't give someone a pirate ship in one game, and then take it back in the next game. It's rude.
This video made me very happy indeed.
