The orphans in our care have forged their own families, finding strength in one another. As deeply tactile creatures, they seek comfort in closeness – a trunk draped gently over a friend's back, simply being together. Family, after all, is who shows up for you.
Thank you for showing up for them.

Commentary: Christmas has been corrupted by nonhuman entities: Algorithms that we flatteringly call artificial intelligence has desecrated the season’s music and holiday ritual.
The AI war on Christmas
My guess is that someone prompted an AI model to generate winter and Christmas songs that avoided “controversial” subjects such as divine and human love, resulting in mush.

I loved painting this double commission for a friend of her girls when they were small. It's a challenge to paint two (nearly) identical paintings this tiny.

US Senators have condemned Russia’s Christmas strikes on Ukrainian cities, calling Putin a ruthless killer with no interest in peace. They noted that while Ukraine agreed to a Christmas ceasefire, the Kremlin chose to bomb civilians in cities including Kherson, Chernihiv and Kharkiv instead.

Release the Jack Smith transcript.
Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.
"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."
