twitter.comI can't express how funny that is
we can unilaterally rename anything in the entire world, because we control Google maps
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 we can unilaterally rename anything in the entire world, because we control Google maps
legally for international recognition this probably needs to be approved by Mexico as well since we share control of it with them
