I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery
Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.
-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

I had the pleasure of being the first human to walk the Lodge Pond trail at Fernald after the big snow. So serene and peaceful, and such generous sunlight!

NEW: A federal judge in Texas struck down S.B. 12, the state’s new anti-drag law that includes both civil and criminal penalties, declaring it to be unconstitutional and barring state officials from enforcing it.

Texas's anti-drag law is unconstitutional, federal judge rules, permanently blocking enforcement
The ruling from a Reagan appointee leaves Matthew Kacsmaryk's ruling defending West Texas A&M's drag ban as an outlier in drag cases. An appeal is expected.
