Bravo to Wal-Mart. The company announced this week it would raise minimum wage for its 500,000 U.S. workers, guaranteeing $9 an hour starting April. By next February, wages are slated to increase an additional dollar, according to Bloomberg Business.
Boo to the car that crashed into the Republic Media building Thursday afternoon. Police said they believe the driver of the car had a diabetic seizure and was taken to the hospital.
Bravo to Pussy Riot for releasing a song inspired by Eric Garner's death. The song, titled "I Can't Breathe" is the Russian duo's first English song, and it confronts injustices marginalized communities face.
Boo to states that are requesting that guns be carried on campuses as means of combating sexual assault. Although safety is important, instead of shifting the responsibility of protection to assaulted women, universities should educate that women's bodies are not the property of men and consensual sex is the only acceptable form of sex.
Bravo to the post-humous Dr. Seuss book, titled "What Pet Should I Get?", coming out. We can't wait to find out what pet we should get.
Boo to rapper Afroman for Falcon-punching a female fan onstage, promptly causing his arrest. Was it because he "got high"?
Bravo for the first same-sex marriage in Texas. Sarah Goodfriend and Suzanne Bryant were married on Thursday, though local leaders are trying to void it.
Boo to "50 Shades of Grey" once again, this time for raking in close to $100 million over its opening weekend. We know that sex sells, but this is just silly.
Bravo to baseball for its wonderful return, as almost every major league team has had pitchers and catchers report. Nothing quite like some fresh-cut grass, the smell of hot dogs and loads of baseball returning to Arizona in perfect harmony. Take us out to the ballgame, honey.
Boo to a woman shooting herself while adjusting her bra holster. The woman, who died after shooting herself in the eye because her bra holster didn't fit right, shouldn't have died because nobody should be storing weapons in their brassieres. Those are for breasts and breasts alone.
