Bravo!
- ASCSU is taking the complaints of a RamRide employee seriously, and investigating the department’s budget and operations. Their dedication to investigating this incident, and in a transparent way, is commendable.
- The NCAA Tournament is the greatest sporting event on television.

- At the Kid’s Choice Awards Saturday, Angelina Jolie encouraged kids that being different is good and that it’s OK not to fit in.
Gotta Go!
- There is no need for ASCSU campaigns to be snitching on each other for petty campaigning mistakes. Can we just have the most competent, qualified candidate win?
- Indiana’s governor signed a law into effect that allows businesses to discriminate against people based on “religious freedom.” We’re all for religious freedom, but this isn’t cool.
- Ford’s new car coming in August forces you to obey the speed limit. No robot should tell me what to do.

Bravo!
- Tidal, a music streaming service that streams at higher quality than Spotify, was launched today. Jay-Z owns it. Ninety-nine problems, but streaming music ain’t one.
- Four journalists arrested during last summer’s Ferguson protests over the death of Michael Brown filed a federal lawsuit Monday against St. Louis County police for violating the reporters’ civil rights during newsgathering. Shout out to protecting the First Amendment.
- The free app Periscope lets you stream video from your smart phone. This is huge for breaking news coverage.
Gotta Go!
- Discrepancies between state and federal law regarding marijuana make University regulations difficult and should be resolved.
- Republican potential presidential candidates Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Rick Santorum and Ben Carson all supported Indiana’s religious freedom bill. Not surprising, but still a bummer.
- Jamie Foxx’s insensitive comments about Bruce Jenner’s alleged transition at the iHeartRadio Music Awards was not OK.

- Those apps that simulate rain noise. You’ll never fall asleep more easily.
- A Mulan live-action film is in the works — Disney is allowing for an entire cast of Asian characters, a group that is very underrepresented in film.
- Cards Against Humanity is offering a new science-themed extension pack. The profits will benefit young women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math programs.
Gotta Go!
- A Greeley Loaf & Jug employee allowed his teenage friend to rob him at knifepoint so the teenager could get $35 for marijuana. Words cannot describe how stupid this is.
- Geese are scary and violent.
- The Fort Collins elections only have about a 7 percent turnout rate so far.

Thursday, April 2
Bravo!
- Mayoral candidate Ward Luthi came to campus to tell everyone to vote in ASCSU elections.
- The arrival of April means we can all start to say this semester will be over next month. Or, in the case of excited and terrified seniors, the real world will tackle us and smash our dreams next month.
- Amazon changed their website to make it look like the site from 1999.
Gotta Go!
- New research suggests Anne Frank probably actually died about a month before we all thought, effectively shaking up the worlds of all of us who have idolized her since we read her diary in middle school. It’s like Pluto all over again.
- People who believe April Fool’s jokes.
- A pizza restaurant in Indiana became the first business to deny service to same-sex couples. So much for that not being the purpose of the law.
