During the height of the Victorian era, many Brits delighted in the bizarre and macabre, even during the holidays.
We have them to thank for the quintessentially odd Christmas cards that still delight (and freak us out) today.

The increased popularity of novelty cards also meant that middle-class families could own a piece of art to display in their homes.
And who wouldn’t want a coy boot-wearing onion hanging on your wall??

All I want for Christmas is…a painting of a mouse riding a lobster.
Christmas cards during the Victorian Era tended to be rather unusual, reflecting an offbeat sense of humor before Christmas iconography had solidified into what it is today.

Gupta: Just the way he presents himself. Whether it’s the hand—is there something happening with that hand? Is there an IV there that they’re trying to cover up? His pressurized, rambling, incoherent speech. When you take it all together, reasonable people are asking reasonable questions

Jack Smith still wants to speak in public:
In a new letter, Smith says he wants the American public to "hear the facts" about his two criminal cases against Trump — asking the House Judiciary Committee to release video of his closed-door deposition and schedule an open and public hearing.

Burgum: "We have an opportunity to take a strip of land right along the border [in CA], transfer it to the military for a 3 year period. Then, if someone crosses into our country, they're stepping on a military installation. That gives our troops down there more authority about detaining people."

When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.

It didn't get enough attention that Susie Wiles said she had read materials protected by grand jury secrecy and other protective orders.
![Wiles told me she’d read what she calls “the Epstein file.” And, she said, “[Trump] is in the file. And we know he’s in the file. And he’s not in the file doing anything awful.” Wiles said that Trump “was on [Epstein’s] plane…he’s on the manifest. They were, you know, sort of young, single, whatever—I know it’s a passé word but sort of young, single playboys together.” (Trump started dating Melania Knauss, whom he married in 2005, sometime in 1998. Virginia Giuffre, Epstein’s most prominent accuser, who died by suicide earlier this year, first met Epstein while she was a Mar-a-Lago spa worker in 2000. Trump and Epstein reportedly had a falling out in 2004.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreicrr4rb4hqynyivvjewudmis2jiuzqt2gruaed3bgum7lklkpkeja@jpeg)

The Kennedy Center was created by a federal law two months after President John Kennedy’s assassination. It was designated as a living memorial to President Kennedy given his devotion to the advancement of the performing arts. Today Trump just renamed the Kennedy Center after himself.
