I don’t think there is a systemic legal solution to this cultural problem.

Is there a need to make sure names of ethnic groups aren’t misused? “Navajo” names a people, not a brand. Cultural appropriation is essentially a failure to understand that; to treat a people as the backdrop to a collection of aesthetic cues rather than as people. But this proposal seems to treat members of indigenous…

It sounds like it’s about subjecting some forms of traditional culture to modern intellectual property law, which...doesn’t seem productive for society at large. Like, I guess “Navajo” is to be treated like a trademark? So you can’t sell Navajo panties without a license just like you can’t sell Disney panties without…

“lol i don’t care what words mean”

This dress has some motifs similar to indigenous American ones, too.

Harris and Gillibrand are both looking really impressive. Thinking of listening to Corey Booker and Disappointing Son Cuomo try to convince even a single other person that they’re national politicians fills me with dread, but I think we’ll end up with an exciting candidate.

As a white man, no policy could command my stronger support than the disempowerment of white men. The people who’ve lived their whole lives with America’s social structure trying to destroy them understand it way better than the ones who’ve been comfortably oblivious.

I might put down 59.99 on an MMA match between Mayweather and Tebow.

That’s a likely involuntary muscular response, speaking from a purely Greensian kinesthetic perspective.

“How come people claim to love the Super Bowl when it’s not even decent basketball??”

This is by the far the hottest “’16-’17 Warriors prove everything is shit” take I’ve seen, with a savagely anti-labor angle to boot. Well done, Skip!

The Warriors’ coaching deserves a ton of credit. The consistent easy baskets off in-bounds plays, the fact that Patrick McCaw was playing even a few useful minutes, and over the long-term Draymond turning into an absurd monster all go at least in part to a hugely capable coaching staff. Cleveland should be looking for…

Illegal screens are what kept Andrew Bogut in the league until all his limbs fell off. Zaza and McGee aren’t even close.

Probably because it’s almost always safe to assume a technical called in the vicinity of Draymond Green is a technical called on Draymond Green.

Honestly, I’m constantly shocked that there’s still a trial. Hasn’t he publicly admitted to all this stuff multiple times already? What’s the point of going to trial?

The most upsetting possibility to me is that they weren’t put-ons, that he actually believes all the respectability shit and thinks women should be treated equally by society...and also that he has the right to fuck them when- and however he wants. The idea of those beliefs comfortably coexisting, that women have full…

The Deported Veterans Support House is a thing that exists.

The problem is what you can’t buy in the NBA. Player salary caps mean teams can’t really compete on wages, and given the choice most players would rather go to a better team. Allow players to earn what they’re worth, and Curry, Durant, Lebron and Kyrie will each be offered nine figures a year by someone.

Draymond to the 5, Kawhi starts at power forward.

“Lifetime’s national game of the week” is not something I would ever expect to read.
