If you get arrested in Denton, Texas, your surely precious mugshot will be splayed all over Twitter, along with your age and crime.


Sadly, it’s not a pure innovation of the Texas penal system designed to further humiliate lawbreakers, just a clever art student scraping their public feed to comment on how much information is out there, floating freely. Implied commentary: You haven’t even begun to see the kinds of scary shit Twitter will make public to your devoted followers. It’s the world’s most frightening publishing system.
