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:

People walking on reflective marble, their reflections showing. Stairwell and blue sky day

A beautiful fall foliage day at the Getty museum, a solemn green statue stands alone, looking off into the distance. 30"x40" acrylic.

These two girls - emphasis on girls - died apparently from subway surfing and at least one of them had a tiktok which showed her doing absolutely unhinged shit like laying in the tracks while a train rolled over her and I think a lot about how subway barriers might have saved her life.

Yeah, used to somewhat like it, but now, just the smell alone of even mild cheese other than mozzarella puts me off.

we may have twin taste buds, except I think I recall you saying you like cheese and I can't stand cheese.

Do you like Stout/Porter beers? Do not like IPAs, but I like those two and the other things you listed.

yeah, there so many places where you can drive a truck through a question because they presumably can't openly ask "are you loyal to Trump over country" but they can say "I'm loyal to Trump (in head, the president)" or "Hegseth (the currently serving person) etc...

basically, grinds the beans, push to turn on and it pushes a bit of water out. Hit expressox2 option, do it twice, very easy clean up too.

We had a Breville, but this one is a lot easier with roughly the same coffee quality.

Andy Pearlman @apearlma.bsky.social · 11h

they're having the sale again. I know it looks expensive, but you feed it 40 cent-50 cent coffee beans, much cheaper than going to nespresso or starbucks

Andy Pearlman @apearlma.bsky.social · Jul 11

ok, so amazon has the deal on my coffee maker that is amazing. yes, know it looks expensive, but you get better than nespresso quality coffee out of 50 cents/oz beans in the same basic way. turn it on — put cup you're going to use to grab water to warm cup, hit 2x, hit espresso, do it again, done.

but did snitty say what happened to his now deceased friend when the geese figured out what was going on?

what if Oklahoma doesn't trade Harden to Houston? is Lin successful in an offense designed for him? Does Oklahoma end up winning multiple championships—they went 60-22 *after* trading Harden away for what ended up being mostly pocket change.

seusspect if you do

Andy Pearlman @apearlma.bsky.social · 13h

right, but your dog doesn't have a bsky account, so need to go through you?

Andy Pearlman @apearlma.bsky.social · 14h

yeah, i used to like eating them, but then i learned how cool they were, and smart, and i was fuck, i guess that's gone, even as a pescatarian.

Andy Pearlman @apearlma.bsky.social · 14h

faine, described as feral at least a few times. metaphorical. nope, actual.

I mean, Calvinball, but if the reason for abortion being illegal is in essence a religious belief, then Judaism clearly has it as being legal as a religious belief. Especially if there's any or at all threat to the mother's wellbeing. Which is not just a threat to the mother's life.

these attacks will not stand. well, maybe they will, that "food" item looks like it can potentially wander around the floor by itself

They might be more militarily secure in the short term, but...

They're demanding pariah status from Europe and if that doesn't risk short term security across the board?
