I'm looking forward to seeing how the Trumpists argue their cases in court when they start arresting teachers and librarians for displaying maps with the Gulf of Mexico on them
Appreciate that you were cognizant of the disjunction there. My Indigenous friends are particularly frustrated because they are having to carry papers and identification around to prove to settler colonial descendants that this was their own damn land to begin with. Lotta resentment right now.
Any local causes that you recommend that need outside funding? Not saying I can contribute now but if there are people that need it, id like to know where.
There are some indigenous language schools showing up, that is one of the most powerful ways for a culture to be retained. I don't recollect the names, and I know there's more than one, but the one I am quite certain of is the one on Rosebud reservation in South Dakota.
The felon has no authority to change the name of the gulf and he cannot force the world to start calling anything other than what it is, the Gulf of Mexico since 1550.
The same people that were crying when military bases were having name changes from confederate losers to American heroes are the ones who support trump renaming world maps
Twitter is no more. It died when Musk renamed it and turned it into an alt-right hellhole. Now it's X and I don't like to even think of what Twitter was.
EXACTLY! Nobody and I mean NOBODY says, "freedom fries." Nobody is going to stop calling it Denali or Gulf of Mexico or French fries. Childish, petty, downright ignorant actions of a dementia-addled man-baby throwing a tantrum like the toddler he is. Actually, toddlers have superior impulse control.
It took me a few days to realize what the F in FOTUS stood for. Now it just gets a bigger laugh each time I see it. It's like an appearance of the Spanish inquisition in unrelated gags.
When was the last time you heard anyone order freedom fries? This is just another example of conservative virtue signalling that will be quickly derided and ignored. The port of NO isn't going to stop using the real name because there are standards used to avoid having 169 million ton ships crash.
I used to say I would always call it Twitter but now I do call it X because it’s a complete bastardization of what it once was and I can’t bring myself to taint twitter’s memory like that anymore. I say “X” like I’m spitting out a curse now.
So do I. I learnt them in order in primary school and mar luckily still only has two moons. I gave up on Jupiter even back then. After Io, Europa, and Ganymede the rest are out there somewhere outside of my mental solar system model.
Actually the Gulf of stupidity also has a nice ring to it. "There's the Gulf of stupidity separating the US and South America..." Could also rename the Atlantic Ocean...
If I'm ever having a conversation and the other person says "Gulf of America", I'm just gonna state at them with a confused look and pretend I have zero fucking clue what they're talking about. I'll force them to say it right and not be a gullible little shit through sheer attrition.
I grew up on the gulf coast of Mississippi. Honestly, everyone just calls it The Gulf Coast. Any news articles from the local papers there always refer to it as either "The Gulf" or "The Gulf Coast." He's such an idgit and this is just part of the deluge of chaos he is unleashing as a distraction.
Calling it Twitter is like calling X by its deadname. Elon hates it. So I delight in it.
