I understand it’s the New Yorker’s style guide, but seeing these diacritics in a skeet is weird as hell

Hey, if your library has Kanopy (we just accessed it last night for the first time, holy molee, it's like the Criterion Collection in there, SO many excellent and classic films), they've got James Goldman's Christmas classic THE LION IN WINTER, which is essentially SUCCESSION, at Christmas, in 1187

Years ago I did a LION IN WINTER paper figure/diorama/paper theater set. You can still download it and print it to cut and display, if that sort of endeavor is as much your inclination as it is mine:

There are plenty of “old world” Christmas boogeymen, but since in the U.S. we're celebrating the bounty of the harvest through the lens of our early Colonial past today, I reckoned today might be a good day to share America’s first holiday villain:
