I’ll see @peterhookthelight.bsky.social tonight at the Agora in #Cleveland Last time I saw him perform was almost 40 years ago on the #NewOrder Technique tour. This music has been with me my entire life!

Ahead of our North American tour kicking off THIS WEEKEND with two shows in Ohio, here’s another new interview I did recently with Cleveland.com Excited to be back in the USA & Canada for another 23 shows - see you soon? www.cleveland.com/entertainmen...

Everywhere we turn the collection of corrupt incompetents in the Trump admin is screwing up something new - Bessent the bond market, Lutnick trade relations, Hegseth the military, RFK Jr public health, Rollins Ag policy - one thing after another systematically wrecking America.

Harvey is chilling #caturday

George says "whatcha doing?" #caturday

This is some creepy shit especially for a young woman to be saying about her old male employer!

“I need to … make you proud. You have the absolute right to cuss me out … because no one knows or cares about me more. … To modify a classic, ‘I could not have parted with you, to anyone less worthy’—and, I will add, it is I who is unworthy.” — Natalie Harp, undated letter to Donald J. Trump

Happy #Caturday from Smudge! (To all who celebrate…)

What's the deal with Intelligence-dot-com anyway? I keep getting invites. Is it a scam? A viable LinkedIn competitor?

Current feeling: "We are building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude. We forge our tradition in the spirit of our ancestors. You have our gratitude."

Forget flying cars; today I dreamed about the most unrealistic thing ever: A portable electronic device that could use any number of batteries in any size!

I wonder what "kompromat" DPRK hackers dug up on Trump to make him so sympathetic to them? Must be something new to remind him that Mr. Kim exists. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/17/wo...

Trump’s Overture to North Korea Strains Alliance With the South

President Trump wants to curtail military exercises with South Korea, saying they were hostile to North Korea. But under Mr. Kim, the North has become increasingly belligerent toward the South.

Oh. "It was only after the Times reached out to the subjects of the investigation for routine comment that the Elias Law Group, representing the DCCC and DSCC, sent a cease-and-desist letter demanding the paper not publish." Seems SLAPPy.

uhhhhh

The parasites of the Democratic Party are ruining its reputation and driving away young voters to squeeze a few elderly donors with spam fundraising. It's really depressing to see Hakeem Jeffries in bed with these scammers. We need new leadership. data4democracy.substack.com/p...

Hook and Squeeze

How Democratic consultants, committees, and party leaders built a fundraising spam pipeline that funnels money from a captive pool of elderly donors into their own operations.

Before most people knew what an indie was, there was 'Tapeheads,' shot in a now-gone Los Angeles

Starring a young John Cusack and Tim Robbins, the 1988 comedy now plays like a time capsule of L.A. scrappiness. It screens in 35mm on Monday.

Royce White on Fox News: "I'm just having a blast in my feminine area. I never thought I was a woman. I've always trusted science and thought I was a man, but after further review, a strong look at my personal preferences, it would appear I am indeed sometimes identifying as a transgender woman"
