New Sad Planets sci-fi video for our song 'Just Landed' just went up. @jmascis stopped by studio while @patrickcarney and I were recording to add some hot leads. Thanks for the great response so far. youtu.be/ZYnZyZNMpYw

⭕️ More than 150 Polymarket wallets may have traded on inside U.S. military information: Research by the nonprofit Anti-Corruption Data Collective identified more than 150 wallets on Polymarket International that appeared to trade using nonpublic U.S. military information. Together, the accounts earned $8 million and recorded a 97.2% win rate on defense-related bets. Their activity also appeared to trigger copycat wagers by larger traders and automated bots, including bets of $200,000 and $100,000 placed hours before the June 2025 U.S. strikes on Iran.

John Petkovic always took the side roads—telling Cleveland’s offbeat stories, giving voice to the overlooked, and living the music he wrote about. A lifer who didn’t just report the culture—he shaped it. Honored to photograph him at Jim Lanza’s show.

Cavs most unlikeable team in years. Lack poise, focus, guts. No internal improvement, Mobley, Garland regressing & often mediocre/bad. Should’ve fired Bickerstaff after 3/24 blowout. Too close to playoffs? Should’ve fired him 2 yrs ago. Tank a game to get Magic=Loser mentality.

“The summit was good on every level for the city,” says Sam McNulty. “It brought people to Cleveland who might not otherwise – and it allowed Clevelanders to rub elbows with people around the world who created something.” More on the Under 30 Summit: greatercle.com/forbes-under-…

.@cavs sucked the life out the arena like a bunch of vampires. I’ve prob gone to 250 games & tonight’s loss to Warriors bench is worst I’ve seen. What do you say after such a pathetic showing? Not just a loss in 82-game season. Something very wrong w/ here on a number of levels.

Rudy Ray Moore left us 14 years ago. Dolemite was a Bad Mutha and a sweet man, with a wicked wit and a gentle heart. Miss him so much. Long live Dolemite! @realdolemite

Ridgewood Inn. EST. 1949. 5759 Ridge Rd. Parma. The Parma classic is known for their fish fry and is still kicking and boasts many loyal customers year after year. Nice visit with staff on September 9, 2022 that talked to me about the devotion by many for the Ridgewood.
