With the floodgates open, everyone's reintroducing themselves. I'm Andy, I'm a painter who uses acrylics, I'm a graphic designer, and I teach how to use color digitally at the School of Visual Arts. Some artwork:

The "Larry Summers complained to Jeffrey Epstein that MeToo went too far" and "Olivia Nuzzi committed crimes on behalf of the fascist she masturbated with while reporting on him" are the same story: American elites have no ideology other than "I should be untouchable." Society is run by empty husks

artists should get paid fairly is a good thing to say even if the person saying is saying it in the most weird and off-putting way possible.

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

It's not just that the United States has stopped trying to promote liberal democratic ideas internationally. It's that the United States is actively trying to promote the contrary. It's trying to turn more countries into Hungary.

between "study on honesty appears to have used fabricated data," "study on cognitive dissonance after thwarted expectations may not show what it was believed to" and possibly "data for study on use of AI generated by LLM" we're pretty close to either a Dramatic Irony bracket or a trend piece

there is zero chance the Yankees failed to turn a profit in any year, but especially in 2025 when they were coming off a World Series appearance. If an MLB owner says he lost money, that's like me saying I can fly. You should insist on proof.
(I can't fly, just so no one asks me to demonstrate.)
