Cartographers strike back!

It’s been Gulf Of Mexico for nearly 500 years and will stay that way

ireidani.bsky.social•1 day ago

Don't worry it's broken again now.

celestelabedz.bsky.social•1 day ago

Or maybe not? It's correct on the big map, but then when I clicked on the individual event map and zoomed out, it's back to this. Anyway, it sucks to make USGS employees spend valuable time relabeling maps to satisfy the whims of a guy taking away everyone's rights.

celestelabedz.bsky.social•1 day ago

And now I can't get it to come back on the big map either. It only appeared briefly when it somehow switched itself from the default grayscale map to the street map without my going into the menu and changing it. Glitchy. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/

I guess your browser had the "correct" one cached, but the date limit associated with the cached version expired so a refresh re-fetched the latest one.

When a map has more principles than the regime...

debkegel.bsky.social•1 day ago

It was likely Gulf of Mexico in your cache.

celestelabedz.bsky.social•1 day ago

The page always defaults to the grayscale base map regardless of your cache, so something else must have been glitchy for it to even switch to the street base map in the first place.

I wish we could cache the United States back to November 1, 2024.
Alas, there are no do-overs.

Lucky for those living in the US around the Gulf of Mexico. No more earthquakes in the land of the Simpsons

In the DJT world, it’s not only the stock market that doesn’t know what’s happening, but neither do the geographers. It’s chaos of the Don The Con, magnitude.

In my computer it is still the wrong name.

celestelabedz.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes, that's what happened to me as well; see the two replies to the original post: https://bsky.app/profile/celestelabedz.bsky.social/post/3lms4lq5py22g

They change this one weekly:

Last week this was "car wash".

It is the Chernobyl Enclosure.

brianolson.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not on my end. Lame.

celestelabedz.bsky.social•1 day ago

It only appeared in a weird glitchy way and I can't get it to come back any other way.

Gulf of Mexico on my laptop, Gulf of America on my phone.

brianolson.bsky.social•1 day ago

Gulf of Mexico in my heart.

ignotumaliquis.bsky.social•1 day ago

I have decided, unilaterally, to put an end to this controversy, once and for all.

applechunks.bsky.social•1 day ago

You can pinpoint more accurately on this map.

seemarkfly.bsky.social•1 day ago

On my maps I changed Washington D.C. to the Gulf of Stupidity.
Makes me laugh and they can't do anything about it.

It's the Gulf of Mexico despite what the pumpkin pendejo claims. ☺️

Am now inclined to refer to 47 as 🤭🫴 The Not-so-Great Pumpkin.

iowajo.bsky.social•1 day ago

On the usgs site I go to ( https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map ) it still says Gulf of America 🤬

USGS will get a huge budget cut very soon, or get sued by the President.

The first is google maps in Canada. The second is when I VPN to the US...

Man, look at the Gulf of Mexico right there. It's the Gulf of Mexico! It's always amazing to see!

Are you in the US? My map says "Gulf of America"

The way it should be.

janmoran.bsky.social•1 day ago

Felt that earthquake pretty good in North County San Diego. Guessed it at a 5 level, two pretty good shakes, nothing fell, but got our attention! Largest ones I’ve felt here outside of Northridge when I lived in LA.

sedonadawn.bsky.social•1 day ago

Felt it out in RB. It was a good one!

I felt the earthquake at 10:10 [North of San Diego].

it looks like ESRI World Street Map which was recently changed. this keeps getting closer and closer to me until someday soon I'm going to have to make "the decision"
