Good morning Friday, friends at Bluesky. One advantage of the damp cold weather is that it is still easy, fresh and nice to hike in the forest.
A path through the forest is covered with withered, brown branches, leaves and needles. Conifers grow on both sides of the path and it seems to be stopped by the arched part of the bedrock.

"The Arrival of the Christmas Tree" by the Danish painter

Hans Andersen Brendekilde (1857-1942)

An enchanting painting! The child's immense joy when he sees what his father brings home... even the house cat comes out, intrigued by all the excitement...

Books about “Asian wife sharing” that included detailed descriptions of orgies and scenes involving “ladyboys.”

That’s what our reporter discovered on a Goodreads page tied to the email address of a top Pentagon official. What came next was even wilder.
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

One of my favourite Christmas books is Arlene Dubanevich's Pigs at Christmas. Published in 1986, it's out of print & might be hard to track down. Santa, for Christmas I would like Pigs at Christmas to be republished!

The Kremlin likes to exercise rhetorical dominance over Trump and they say this in the safe knowledge that we won’t invade or that if we do it will be a disaster. Trump might think of Putin as a friend but that’s not how Russia sees the US. The US is to be humiliated, fragmented, and weakened.

I’m totally lost. I thought we were invading Venezuela. And now allies with Russia. So the friend of my “friend”
