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.

Itās about the oil ā¦ again.
Bolton just exposed real motive for intervention in Venezuela: "We're in conversation with major American companies now...It would make a difference if we could have American companies produce the oil in Venezuela. We both have a lot at stakeĀ here."

If this action were constitutionally sound, the Attorney General wouldnāt be tweeting that theyāve arrested the President of a sovereign country and his wife for possessing guns in violation of a 1934 U.S. firearm law.

Giving a Nobel Peace Prize to a guy who has bombed 7 countries in a year (Iraq, Somalia, Nigeria, Syria, Yemen, Iran, Venezuela) would be a fitting testament to the state of the world.

John Petkovic always took the side roadsātelling Clevelandās offbeat stories, giving voice to the overlooked, and living the music he wrote about. A lifer who didnāt just report the cultureāhe shaped it. Honored to photograph him at Jim Lanzaās show.

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

.@cavs sucked the life out the arena like a bunch of vampires. Iāve prob gone to 250 games & tonightās loss to Warriors bench is worst Iāve 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.
