Child Throws Temper Tantrum Because He Didn’t Get His Way
FTFY.
I know of at least one US government web page that still references “Gulf of Mexico”, but I don’t want to link it, because I’m very curious to see how long it can fly under the radar. I have a thing set up that checks the page regularly and will alert me whenever it changes.
Is there a way to set up archive.org or something like that to save regular snapshots without risking drawing more attention to it?
I hate news articles so much. “The (underlined) Associated Press said” ahh, this must be a link to the actual quote, I’ll read that. Nope! Just a link to their website. At least it’s not as bad as other sites that link to other random articles.
Better than “Download the app to read the article”
Blocking the press is how the Trump admin can they make this absurd distraction a much bigger deal with no repercussions. The power of names is much diminished in these times. We need a better name vibe. call it Gulf of Slow The Fuck Down
Seems like the AP isn’t counting the lights in the official manner. There’s five lights. It’s official. It’s not something there’s any need to stubbornly disagree about, Picard.
But I thought dead naming was cool? Now you want to use preferred names.
Gives me a little extra respect for AP than before. Don’t comply with fascists. Make them show just how incredibly sensitive and ridiculous they are.
More respect for the AP? Them and Reuters are the two defacto news orgs that 95% of other news get their articles from lmfao.
Oh, for sure. I’ve noticed a lot of other news sites simply citing them or republishing their content. To clarify, I didn’t mean what I said in any kind of “I didn’t respect them much before” kind of way. I heavily respect them, as well as ProPublica, like another person mentioned earlier. I just hold even more respect from them after this.
I love AP, too. Even Reuters can get a little eyebrow-raising sometimes, but I find AP pretty consistently solid. They’re straight-up targeting the actual, real-deal journalists. ProPublica’s likely to be fucked with, too.
Also, don’t accept or repeat their narratives.
Tell is Donald Trump is a whiny piss baby without telling us he’s a whiny piss baby.
Good. Get punished. Don’t go along with it. If you start bowing and scraping so you won’t get ejected from the oval office, then that will enable that much more the gradual evolution that will lead you along with many other people to get “punished” in ways that are far more severe. Like, barges floating off of Gitmo or working in the fields on a prison labor system severe. It is insane to me that people are taking all of this so lightly and going along with it.
Even from the ideal pro-capitalist hat on; AP benefits from this. It might seem that short term they lose money by not having hot off the press news to sell, but long term they keep their credibility, which is ultimately the product they sell.
Trump will rename them for this
So Trump is offended that the AP deadnamed his gulf? Imagine that…
Not even deadnamed. The “name change” only impacts like a specific section of it, not the whole thing.
Any press still allowed in is just bootlicking government mouthpieces anyway.
Confirmed, the US is a sensitive country
What happened to “snowflakes”? I guess that just like everything else, it was projection.
Thanks to climate change the snowflakes melted. /hj
Yellow snow “flakes”
Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico)
that’s backwards…
Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of ~what used to be~ America)
Major map providers are rolling out the change of name gradually worldwide.
Openstreetmap still uses the correct name.
Organic map is good. But not yet as rich as Gmaps for developing small countries.
In Southern Chile, Organic Maps was leagues better than Google. GMaps was basically unusable. So yeah, it depends where you are (and how many Germans live/travel there 😁).
I live in Bangladesh 🇧🇩
I too, am not allowed into the Oval Office.
I wouldn’t want to belong in a place that accepts people like me.
Better that I’m not allowed in it, I think.
We should make our own Oval Office with blackjack and hookers!
Wait…the official one probably has those too. Blackjack, hookers, AND the Gulf of Mexico!
Me as well
Dozens of us.
