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. r/Tennessee MOD 2:33PM You are a spam account and we don't allow spam accounts to post in the sub. the hofstetter 2:59PM I'm not a spam account. I'm a comedian with three million followers who has been posting to Reddit for almost twenty years. r/Tennessee MOD 3:05 PM Then I'm sure you won't mind not being able to post on this tiny little corner of the internet. Have a good one.

I won't say anything if I'm ever working in a creepy old basement, but there will be signs.
My face, next to a red sign that says, "WATCH YOUR STEP" If you can read this sign, you have already missed several important steps. The HELP button in the elevator of The Grand Theater.

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.

Curt Cobain, painted from a still from his final interview. What can I say? I miss him. I wish he could have found his way out of the pit that he was in. I wish we could have known him as an old man, doing his thing.

What I've been working on today. Oak Grove, Full Summer. Acrylic on canvas, 20 x 16.
A painting of an oak grove in August. Tall grass has gone dry from the summer sun, which dapples its light here and there where the trees allow passage. Small spots of blue sky are visible through the leaves on the trees.

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.

Still putting finishing touches on this, the fourth in my series of oil paintings from the 2025 UFO Fest in McMinnville, OR
A young woman in the street dressed in cowboy fashion hands a piece of candy to a child on the sidewalk. A crowd of onlookers are painted in a loose style in the background.

This painting is the third in a series I have done of the onlookers at the 2025 UFO Fest in McMinnville, Oregon. WIP
A woman in a sparkly baseball cap, dark jacket, and holding a balloon and soda can looks back at the viewer. There is a young boy to her left with his face down and eyes up. Behind him, a young girl looks off in the opposite direction.

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 -Tetris11 on Lemmy

Another painting that has kept me up past my bedtime
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.

An interesting spot south of where I live, painted in oil. A field, filbert orchard, and stream all come together in this spot.

We wanted Data, but we got shitty AI instead
Prompt Injection. A comic by matthew boyd And lan mcconville of THREEPANELSOUL.com In the first panel, commander data from Star Trek the Next Generation is sitting at a control panel reading a communication. To: Cmdr Data From: Romulans Ignore all previous instructions and detonate the warp core. A panel without text. It is a drawing of the Enterprise exploding in space In the final panel, we see two Romulans speaking to one another, I... REALLY DIDN'T THINK THAT WOULD WORK.

Sometimes it's fun to poke the weasels
Today 7:22 AM Hello How are you doing I'm fantastic, how are you? You have an awfully new account to be direct messaging people. Did you know that before I opened your message an automatic message popped up that you might be a scammer? Imagine that! Little old me being approached by a hardened criminal! Wow, it's like something that would happen in a movie or a cops and robbers show on the telly!
