Shia LaBeouf continues his foray into art and/or nervous breakdown. On September 8th, LaBeouf began tweeting his nike+ jogging routes.

They saw her possibly illegally entering buildings that surrounded the #FloodWallStreet protest — in which 1,000-plus people shut down blocks of Broadway in the heart of the […]
Rodeo (2014) is a new installation by French duo Les Frères Ripoulain. Comprised of a “stolen scooter, spring, metal pedestal, welding, sand,” it is located in Besançon, France. It appears to take a lot of physical force to operate, but vroom-vroom.

All of it was concealed in average everyday household items — boxes for baby wipes, coffee, floor-dusting sheets, […]
Those special license plates issued to visiting diplomats don’t excuse them from parking tickets, the Wall Street Journal reports. Apparently, delegates from over 180 countries owe the city more than $16 million in unpaid summons. However, almost all off the debt — $15.6 million — was incurred before 2002, when Mayor Bloomberg cracked down on the blue-plated bastards, punishing unpaid summons by refusing […]

At about 7:15pm, police finally moved in to arrest environmental-occupy protesters after giving the activists an unprecedented amount of leeway to stage demonstrations — dubbed #FloodWallStreet — on several prime blocks of Broadway for over eight hours.
