I'd have used it as an opportunity to test my winter gear.

I just read about a feudal uprising where a duke's son was killed by rebels. They used a trebuchet to knock him off the battlements with the only available ordnance: a peasant's decapitated head.

We used to say political correctness gone mad. Now it's woke culture gone mad.

What's funny about being nasty to/about people?
