Good morning, Portland!
It’s Friday the 13th! I don’t have strong feelings about this. But maybe you do!
Sheriffs, They’re Just Like Us: A photo of an Oregon sheriff has been circulating the internet thanks to his ex—and we’ll let the Oregonian describe it to you: “[He’s] without pants on, thrusting his pelvis toward the camera, with his genitals covered in a sticker that reads “Lit Saturday.”
Wapato Sold: Multnomah County Commissioners have<a href=”https://www.portlandmercury.com/blogtown/2018/04/12/19812236/county-commission-votes-to-sell-wapato-jail-for-5-million
“> decided to sell the never-used jail at the low low price of $5 million (I’m serious, this is really not that much money in this instance). But! We still have seven days until the sale is finalized, meaning a week for Commissioner Loretta Smith—who really wants Wapato to be a homeless sheleter—to make one last attempt to overhaul the plan.

Interacting with Trump, Comey writes (according to WaPo), gave him “flashbacks to my earlier career as a prosecutor against the Mob. The silent circle of assent. The boss in complete control. The loyalty oaths. The us-versus-them worldview.” Also, it appears Trump doesn’t know what “calligrapher” means.

Pedal Power: Saudi Arabia just held it’s first ever all-lady bicyclist race! Of course, many people are saying dumb things about it. Like: “A woman can be seductive and getting on a bicycle reveals all her attractive parts to men.”
Concerning: Two-thirds of millennials don’t know what Auschwitz is. Twenty-two percent of ’em polled said they haven’t even heard of the Holocaust.
