What a moron. The name "New Mexico" predates the country "Mexico" - New Mexico was named Nuevo México by Spanish explorers in the 16th century, long before the modern country of Mexico adopted its name. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/07/u...

Trump Posts Map Suggesting New Mexico Be Renamed as ‘New America’ (Gift Article)
The suggestion, posted on social media, appeared to be the latest in the president’s efforts to alter geographic names.

Seriously? #GISChat
a screenshot of AI attempting to provide instructions on how to fix an edit issue in ArcGIS Pro. AI (that's a total misnomer - there's no intelligence going on here. I can get better advice from a first year intern (no offence to interns). The AI responds with "to fix it..." then "actually the correct tool is..." then "or the better way..." then "the real fix..." (but wait, there's more, so must not be real yet!) so then "actually the simplest fix is..." and finally " the true solution... " 

ARRGGGEHHHH!!!
