Gilding pr0n ❤️✨
When I am working on a big painting that intimidates me, I often take time off doing patterns, especially patterns I know by heart, like this 14th century persian one. It's soothing and helps me think more freely about what I'll do next and that blue is a mix of indigo and spirulin 😁

This frighin INSANE
Hes using trade deficit numbers and calling them tariffs, its a direct lie to the American people. Cambodia has 97% tariff? No. Cambodia exports 12 billion. USA exports to cambodia 350 million. 350 million / 12 billion is 3%. 100 - 3 = 97%. Do this for every "tariff" € Répondre Devilnaht Know whats even worse? It's literally the method that Chat GPT suggests if you ask how to fix a trade deficit with tariffs. They asked Chat GPT how to fix the economy, and then just fucking did whatever it said. I don't even know what to say. How can someone be this stupid? Edit to add: On Chat GPT, the following prompt will immediately get you the method they used: If I wanted to even the playing field with respect to the trade deficit with foreign nations using tariffs, how could I pick the tariff rates? Give me a specific calculation

Hi, my name is So. I collect colours like a magpie and paint shiny knobs.
Don't judge me 🧐🐦‍⬛✨
Ok, more seriously, Herbin liquid watercolors rock. They are mixable, great in layers, good lift and react well with additives like Glanz & Fix (Schmincke) et pour les francais, -40% au Geant des bozar 😇
