Animal trials helped to restore order when the unspeakable happened. In 1457, a sow and her piglets were put on trial for the murder of a child in the village of Savigny in Burgundy, France. The sow was ultimately found guilty and her piglets were acquitted. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. It's a common scene in many films set in medieval Europe: a wooden cart wheeling its way through a jeering crowd of townsfolk, taking a condemned prisoner to the gallows.

The latest Final Fantasy video game is being scorched for not catering to diversity and identity politics. Final Fantasy XVI is the latest installment of one of the most popular video game series going back to 1987. Despite largely being made by Japanese game developers, many installments of this series, especially in its early days, were influenced by Western European fantasy settings and tropes. While some more recent Final Fantasy games have leaned toward science-fiction, Final Fantasy XVI is a return to form. But being set in a European medieval fantasy setting does not protect it from woke critique.
