There is no good Cuomo.

I like it. From what I can see, it definitely looks capable of keeping out rain and wild animals. It appears to have places to sit and facilities for food storage and preparation. I bet it's even climate controlled. Altogether adequate for supporting basic life functions.

Yup. That’s why I oppose the death penalty. Give the proven bias of our justice system and how often we see death row prisoners freed on new evidence, I’m good for us not killing anyone any more. 

I looked it up because I realized I didn’t know anything about that quote.

At least 10 of the 25 tainted cops have resigned. Three remain with Baltimore Police

There needs to be a federal, or at least state level licensing body similar to what Nurses and Doctors have to go through.  If a cop gets discipline or charges or is fired when he or she applies elsewhere those misdeeds will follow them.  Too often now the fired cop just gets another job in another district with no…

A thousand times this! It’s the foundation of our whole criminal justice system - they pound it into our heads in law school, and yet in reality, it is very clearly the opposite. 

I love smart people. I cherish smart courageous women. Mosby has often been the epitome of this.....

Hopefully they’ll get so angry all the hotdogs and donuts will catch up with their heart...

Mad, sure. Cops...they better fucking not be.

I’m waiting for the Mosby haters to come pouring in. She’s a treasure who put her well-earned career on the line to bring the BPD in line. Her announcement when she brought charges against Freddie Gray’s murderers was a triumphal moment. Her subsequent announcement that her office would have to drop the charges after…

Good. That’s what’s supposed to happen in cases like this.

I’m glad someone remembers that the basis of our (so called) justice system is supposed to be:

Remember when confronted about the lack of diversity on The Mindy Project, her response was, “I’m a fucking Indian woman!” so...that’s the alpha and omega of diversity to her, I guess.

If what your day is missing is a good ugly cry, here’s a piece from NPR on a camp for kids whose parents are struggling with opioid addiction. Good that it exists. Terrible that it has to. And how much these kids still love their parents in spite of everything breaks my heart in half.

This is amazing, and I have to say that the sheer volume of research they do for Sesame Street is astounding.

It is heartbreaking this needs to be a thing. I’m happy there is such a progressive show for kids though. 

It’s still on PBS. 

It still airs on PBS, there's just a nine month lag in the new episodes so the rich kids get the new episodes way before the lowly poor kids. 

Does Sesame Street have the same reach and power now that it’s on HBO as it did when it was way more widely-accessible on PBS? It seems like the audience that could most benefit from Sesame Street probably doesn’t have an HBO subscription.
