Redskins. Fighting Irish. Indians. Despite current turmoil and upheavals, these vile team names persist.

Gods of Advertising

Given everything going on in the world, I cannot phantom how and why these cruel and offensive names still exist. Yet, they do. I wrote the first version of this post in 2014! Unbelievable it is even more relevant now… The righteous drum continues to beat louder, calling for the termination of the Washington Redskins nickname, which got a huge assist when the United States Patent Office rescinded trademark rights for the moniker, deeming it offensive to Native Americans.

Are you a Sociopath? (3)

More truth. “So, me not crying is steeling myself against future pain?” You phrase it as a question but it comes out an answer. Mia confirms it. “You developed a way to cope with pain, to numb yourself. Which is why you don’t cry in AA meetings and you close your eyes when others do.”. Eyes Wide Shut is the name of the last film Stanley Kubrick directed before he died, a strange story about a couple confronting their sexual fantasies.
