You can get live updates of who’s getting arrested at the Clackamas County Jail in Oregon!  Along with links to each person’s jail profile, complete with picture (sometimes)!  98 people are following them, hopefully all local journalists!  I feel 50% creeped out and 50% fascinated!

Of Montreal - “So Begins Our Alabee”

The aria is bleeding! Remember when Kevin Barnes’ dick was all the rage (there is nudity here, at this link!) over at P4K? I SURE DO. The superego’s waking!
