Wow, I am just researching all kinds of information today for which I need my Big Kid Pants. Like, for instance, gathering up the courage to ask my roommates when their move-out date will be, which might be the fucking fifteenth of June. JFC. I am straight-up not paying for their rent. No fucking way. I refuse.
Holy fuck! Holy fuck. That’s legitimately unsettling. That’s three weeks from now. Jesus fuck.
The U.S. Department of Justice is coming down hard on the Baltimore Police Department as it prepares to issue a settlement to a man whose footage they deleted after he recorded them making an arrest.
The settlement stems from a 2010 incident at the Preakness Stakes, which prompted the Department of Justice in January to send a statement of interest to the judge presiding over the resulting civil suit, advising him that such blatant action violates the Constitution and should not be tolerated.
That letter provoked the police department into issuing a 7-page General Order to its officers February stating that citizens have the “absolute right” to record cops in public as long as they did not “violate any section of any law, ordinance, code or criminal article.”
Baltimore cops simply expanded existing laws to allow them to continue cracking down on camera-wielding citizens, including threatening to arrest a man for loitering.
On Monday, the Department of Justice slapped the Baltimore Police Department with another letter, condemning it for writing such a vague general order and for allowing the harassment to continue.
God damn it, Baltimore.

I cannot believe these assholes are giving a concert WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE from me and I didn’t know in time and can no longer buy tickets.
This episode of Glee is… really uncomfortable.
Ugh, why the fuck am I still watching this show?
“Fuck you” doesn’t even begin to cover my feelings on this front.
Say What Now of the Day: In today’s edition of Santorum Santorum Says: Rape victims who get pregnant “have to make the best out of a bad situation.”
(Also: “I believe and I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you.”)

“˜With all this information, I think the Heritage Foundation drew the wrong conclusion. More money would make a difference in teacher recruitment and retention — not because current teachers are underpaid according to their current skill set, but because we want people with better skill sets in the classroom. If we want better performance, we shouldn’t be looking at people who are similar to current teachers. We should be looking for people who are better. And that will require, among other things, recruiting people who could make more money in the private sector.”
New study: Teachers are overpaid? - CBS News (via robot-heart-politics)
Shocker: the Heritage Foundation — the same group that released the pearl-clutching study about how so many poor people have ceiling fans and fridges and microwaves and so are they really poor? — thinks teachers are overpaid.

Roommate, I am giving you fifteen minutes. Then, I am going the fuck to bed and that singing is going to stop.

“I don’t think we have the right to Monday-morning quarterback the police,” Bill O’Reilly said tonight, discussing the appalling use of pepper spray by UC Davis police on Friday. No, God forbid we Monday-morning quarterback the police, especially, as O’Reilly continued, “at a place like UC Davis, which is a fairly liberal campus.”
Indeed: what right do we have to think that Lt. John Pike should probably not have indifferently dusted peacefully sitting protesters with pepper spray from only a few feet away? And, gosh, even if we were going to Monday-morning quarterback the police, shouldn’t we remember, as Megyn Kelly tells O’Reilly, that pepper spray is “a food product, essentially”? I mean, Kelly and O’Reilly aren’t saying the cops did the right thing! God, no! They’re just saying, hey, what right do we have to judge a cop for spraying a simple food product on a bunch of liberal college kids’ faces?
A food product.

but I really want to go to the doctor’s. But I also don’t want to spend a bajillion dollars and valuable thesis time to have someone tell me that this is just a cold.
