Whenever I try to put my laptop into either suspend or hibernate mode

stays on, the sleep light (crescent moon) light blinks, but there's no
disk activity and the power light stays on.

And nothing short of holding the power button down and forcing a power
off works for bringing the laptop back out of htis state.

/var/log/pm-suspend.log may be worth a look.
And you could run pm-is-supported (see its manpage for how to
interpret the result).

Here's what I get:

(mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ pm-is-supported --suspend
(mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ echo $?
0
(mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ pm-is-supported --hibernate
(mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ echo $?
0
(mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ pm-is-supported --suspend-hybrid
(mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ echo $?
1

Though I'm questioning this last once since I tried to do:

pm-is-supported --suspend-hybrid && echo $?

and it never showed the RC, telling me the command itself failed.

Any ideas on what I should or could do to get suspend to work again?
It's a PITA to have to hard shutdown the laptop when I accidentally shut
the lid.

I hope this feature (closing lid causes suspend) can be switched off
somehow. It's a PITA even if suspend/hibernate works.

It can. Check out my blog post [1] about how to disable it.
