According to a New York Times report, on Thursday, the U.S. government’s General Services Administration (GSA) removed the spoon emoji as an option that users of its videoconferencing platform can select to express themselves.

The move comes a day after workers embraced the digital cutlery to protest the Trump administration’s “Fork in the Road” resignation offer.

    There really should be a pitchfork emoji.

    If they want forks, they’ll get forks. Just not in the road.

    Edit: I should have said, “fork in the chode”. It was right there.

      there’s also not a traffic cone emoji. Not that related, but I swear there was one.
