I honestly didn't know Mapquest was still around
saloffrecord 16h BREAKING:
MapQuest is now the #1 free app in the U.S App Store after refusing to rename Lake Ontario "Lake America."
Google and Apple changed it.
MapQuest basically said no, we don't support fascism!
Nothing says 2026 like millions of Americans rediscovering MapQuest out of pure spite.
Nature is healing. Thanks @mapquest!

Motherfuckers. What do think I'm looking at?
A TV paused during an ad. A couple and their realtor are photographed celebrating a home sale. The text on screen says, 

"Ad

Then one day, after he had finished counting his money, the idea came to him that he could get all the golden eggs at once by killing the Goose and cutting it open.
A goose sits in a dark room at an open laptop, with a golden egg symbol on it. A stock graph on the wall points up. Behind the goose is an open door where the sillouetted figure of the Farmer stands, money in one hand, and an axe in the other.

Tonight at Linfield University in McMinnville, OR, they had Built to Burn, an event inspired by Burning Man. This year the sculpture was motivated by looming cuts to the art department's budget that would severely reduce the staff of an already small faculty.

Steve Hofstetter
8m.
.. X

Tuesday, there is a special election in Tennessee that could determine the balance of congress. Aftyn Behn is running against Trump lackey Matt Van Epps, nicknamed "Van Epstein" for his stubborn refusal to break with Trump on anything, especially Epstein related.
I posted about it to the Tennessee subreddit while I had four shows in Tennessee. Within ten minutes, it was the top post in the sub. Within an hour, it was removed
There are a LOT of people working to get Van Epstein elected. Let's work iust as hard to beat him.
Share this post. Tag your friends in Tennessee. and vote Aftyn Behn on Tuesday.


(What follows is a conversation between Steve and a mod on R/Tennessee)

Steve the hofstetter 11:32 AM - Hi-I didn't see the reason for why my post about the TN-7 special election was removed. Could vou tell me more? 1 think it's important to educate people about elections and to ensure the release of the Epstein files.

The man who shot Charlie Kirk couldn't be bothered to vote but picked up a gun instead. This isn't how any of this works. There are no heroes here.
10 minutes ago, 
Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs Reporting on criminal justice

The 22-year-old man accused of assasinating Charlie Kirk was listed in Utah voting records as unaffiliated with a political party. The records noted that he was considered "inactive," suggesting that he did not vote in the November presidential election, the first since he turned 18.

Tell me again how slavery wasn't so bad, Donald.
Peter, a man who escaped from slavery, shows his scourging scars, US 1863

> [Peter](https:/www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_(enslaved_man)) (fl. 1863) (also known as Gordon, or "Whipped Peter", or "Poor Peter") was an escaped American slave who was the subject of photographs documenting the extensive keloid scarring of his back from whippings received in slavery. The "scourged back" photo became one of the most widely circulated photos of the abolitionist movement during the American Civil War and remains one of the most notable photos of the 19th-century United States.

A four panel comic drawn in a simplistic but accurate style. Two small green tree frogs sit facing each other on two branches. The frog on the right says, "And while her husband was at work, Brenda totally - " but is cut off when a snake appears in a swoosh and eats the frog on the right. Both the frog on the right and the snake are gone in the next two panels, leaving the frog on the left alone. "Shit," says the frog on the left, "I'll never know what Brenda did."

The artist is pleumier on Instagram.

Tetris11 on Lemmy had such nice things to say about this painting that I'm going to share it here:
This is lovely. The little girl looking so alien and so passive yet confused herself behind what could be a police tape, that you question her reality. She's seemingly alone, yet rather tahn feeling sadness or melancholy she is drawn to the spectacle of some curiousity beyond the line. She is the alien here, and yet she is living embodiment of every human child

A young girl stands on the sidewalk behind yellow caution tape just after the Ufo Festival parade in McMinnville, Oregon. She is wearing a white long sleeve shirt, powder blue skirt, and white crocs. She's holding a doll by her side with one hand. She is standing in the sun, but immediately behind her is dark shade. Oil paint on canvas panel.

A three panel comic with the text cleverly written so it is read backwards first, then forward. The text, descending down but justified increasingly in three steps to the left, reads, life can only be understood backward, and then read to the right, but it must be lived forwards.
