I think the best advertising strategy that Taco Bell ever had was the late night munchies commercials on TV and the radio because every single time I get the munchies or get to feeling snackish, that jingle starts playing in my head, no matter what time of day it is 🌮🌯 @tacobell.bsky.social

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.

Canada just signed a trade deal with Ecuador so the orange juice options will increase now that Florida Oranges aren't being bought.
Oasis is a Canadian brand. Minute Maid is bottled here using Brazilian oranges.
I guess Florida can sell elsewhere? If anyone will buy it at this point…

cool how Project 2025 went viral during the election, we were told Trump disavowed it and wouldn't do it, he got elected and started implementing it immediately and now we're being told "well this is what people voted for"
they very explicitly did not

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.
In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour.
