Time to share another Miss Machete Favorite: Lifeforce (1985) A space mission stumbles on a strange ship, and the figures on board get brought to Earth. Vampire-like aliens are unleashed on the world. Energy zombies, naked ladies murdering, Sir Patrick Stewart is there. Who else loves this movie?

"The Trials of Rickules" Sing, O Muse, of the ‘Herculean’ effort that could not tame the Cretan Bull of Planning and Permitting, a maddened beast of code and chaos that now stampedes over a cliff, crushing all hope in its path. #art #literature #mythology #illustration #digitalart #cartoon #hawaii

Keith Olbermann dated Olivia Nuzzi when she was 21 and he was 55. I'm not defending her terrible book-I'm just wondering why this guy is gleefully showcasing the bad review of someone he hasn't dated in a decade-someone who was *considerably* younger. Some men DO NOT GET IT. Highlight that shit.

New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

Crucially, by upholding their constitution and the rule of law, Brazil discovered that support for Bolsonaro evaporated save for a dwindling minority of die-hards and dead-enders. Because Brazilians see Bolsonaro as a criminal and a loser, they've largely moved on from him. Could've been us...

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

So either Trump spoke to Bolsonaro about plotting to escape to the US right before the latter got caught trying to saw off his ankle monitor, or Trump imagined a conversation he didn’t have. Both scenarios are incredibly dark

I get why monopolies exist, but they should all be publicly owned. They can’t and shouldn’t be run the same as the DMV, but states can and do run highly successful companies. When we grant a monopoly, we guarantee the owner profits. it’s not clear to me that we get a benefit from that.

"I Ship You Not" The Young Brothers interisland shipping #monopoly just won a 25% rate hike from the Public Utilities Commission. Parent company shareholders are made whole, while local consumers are stuck with ever-higher food prices. #art #artwork #cartoon #editorialcartoon #illustration #hawaii

War criminal says what

i literally cannot watch the video of zohran charming trump with his charisma. it looks like a video from a different dimension where everything is ok and happy and if i watch it it might ruin the space time continuum

all i know is that zohran mamdani just showed he is better at getting the president to concede and defer to him than literally any democrat in washington

Zohran did a Charisma check and rolled a nat 20

Zohran walking into the Oval Office, focusing on his key policy platforms, and coming away with an unqualified win over Trump really puts into relief how bad the Democratic leadership is that it has been repeatedly rendered totally impotent and made to look like bumbling cowards by the Donald.

Dumbest people alive.

Happy 40th birthday to Bill Waterson’s ‘Calvin and Hobbes’. A work of consummate, stubborn, human, and more-than-human art.

Schools in low-income areas can automatically provide all students with free school meals under a federal program. Some 46,000 Hawaii students attend schools that may stop participating in that program, according to an analysis from @urbaninstitute.bsky.social www.civilbeat.org/2025/11/more...

Deeply ashamed just because you were soliciting a convicted child predator for advice on cheating on your wife my pressuring a younger colleague into sleeping with you while sneering at her and her work? Gosh Ross Douthat better write another piece decrying woke culture

I want to believe... in a corruption-free legislature! Calls are growing to reveal the identify of the lawmaker who took $35k in cash, but senate and house leadership could do a lot more to get to the truth. 🛸📁 #art #cartoon #editorialcartoon #digitalart #illustration #hawaii #corruption #ethics

Sick to my stomach that the President being mixed up with a horrifying global network of pedophiles is considered a 'voter issue' and not something the whole world needs to know about and people need to be prosecuted for. Only reason anyone would want people to ignore Epstein is if you're involved

🎧Breast cancer patient who faces a $1000/mo premium hike without ACA subsidy says lawmakers need to understand: “For them, a thousand bucks is probably nothing.

While teachers, nurses and service workers pay income tax on every dollar they earn, the wealthy can shield a large portion of their profits thanks to a special tax break on capital gains. #fundourfuture #taxtherich #taxfairness #taxreform #workingfamilies #hawaii hiappleseed.org/blog/hawaii-...

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

It’s crazy that a Democratic senator who represents Illinois could see everything this administration is doing in Chicago and its suburbs and vote to reopen the government. Like these should be the Senators demanding so much more than everyone else to reopen the government.
