Apple just bent over for Trump and rebranded the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America—because nothing says "courage" like licking a boot. If a trillion-dollar company can’t stand up to a guy with a spray tan and a fragile ego, maybe it doesn’t deserve your money. Ditch Apple. Let ‘em kneel alone.
I posted a news story about Trump giving a pardon to former Democrat Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who was convicted on several federal charges of corruption and fraud. Surprisingly, I've not had any comments full of excuses and butwhataboutisms from Trump's uneducated base.
GoA is the perfect metaphor. What else COULD you call it? tRump's "Gulf of America". He birthed it. He created it. He gloats over it. WHY? He's a #MalignantNarcissist. That's what they do. And now he's labeled a piece of the globe to celebrate his EGO. But the designation is on the wrong geography.
What the absolute fuck is wrong with these subservient motherfuckers? How in the hell did we empower all these weak assholes? Someone needs to start sucker punching these fuckheads at their first opportunity. Guarantee whoever does it will be a national treasure
Why the Hell are companies being so submissive? I get Google wants the court to like them, maybe a few others too, but idk why somebody like Disney is caving in so much now.
Many highpower suits like maga. Marvel CEO was a big supporter if i remember correctly for example. And Disney is a stupendous collection of companies...
I'm not seeing it yet (must be pushed out rolling?) but trying this with Google Maps when they pushed it out, it seems your account region will override your geolocation for this. I had to be both on a foreign VPN endpoint and in a private browsing window to see the real name.
#BoycottApple @tim_cook gave $1 million for Trump’s inauguration, @apple is giving Musk money by advertising on X, they are being sued by the DRC for purchasing conflict minerals and they are focusing their innovation on “creative” legally questionable ways of avoiding taxes.
A weather channel said he was calling it the Gulf of America from now on. He said: "Yes, you heard that right." I immediately hit unsubscribe. Won't be watching his channel anymore. Yes, you heard me right!
The Gulf of Mexico is not even US territory. Seems like Trump can simply change the name of any place on the map by decree and force everyone to accept the change. Get ready for Haiti to be renamed ‘Shithole Country’, Trump’s preferred name for impoverished 3rd world countries.
Yep, yep, yep… so, tim apple, are you proud? Orange monkey think that you are even not a human, you know? But you tim apple lick thats orange monkey soles. No US product for 3… 2… 1… teslas fuck, googles fuck, apples also fuck! No more!
Just download MapQuest & be done with it. MapQuest has been pretty adamant that they won't comply with this nonsense.
Apple, Google, & MS have made their own calculated decision & aren't going to change their mind no many how many people ask to "speak to the manager" or how many times they do it.
This makes me think of a book by @huckleberryhax.bsky.social in the AFK series,where the character "Thursday" wakes up some time in the future and starts noticing key facts & dates in history have been subtly altered by the powers that be, to see what they could get away with/if anyone would notice.
It's fucked up but I think they know that they have to comply with Trump to keep certain government contracts which could be worth billions and help them employ thousands.

Apple Maps = Still Gulf of Mexico
Google Maps = Weirdly Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)
I can’t believe they’re trying to soft launch the name. Ridiculous. Stupid. Childish.
On every conceivable level.
All of it.

I just think B2G companies are in a tough spot when it comes to this admin.
