Very curious! I liked the original but always felt like it was a bit of an awkward fit for horror.

Wow it’s almost like it’s my life and I can collect and read as many books as I want

1: Create a company that claims to be about supporting your network of family & friends.
2: Replace actual interactions with virtual interactions.
3: Use algorithms and divisive content to cause those virtual interactions to wither & collapse.
4: Replace those virtual connections with corporate AI.

The way he’s talking about genes makes it sound like he’s talking about a racehorse instead of a person 😒

A sprig of greens rests on an off-white background, accompanied by these words: This Year What does it mean this year to celebrate freedom? What does it mean this year to claim we are free? Are we free to speak – or only if we hold the “right” opinions? Are we free to be who we are – or only if we fit a certain mold? Can we celebrate liberation when innocents are shackled? When “give me your tired, your poor” seems out of style? When communities live in fear, Seder’s journey feels hollow. What does Seder mean this year? What if we don’t feel free? Sometimes Seder is about hope we don’t yet know how to feel. We are not the first generation to live Passover in tight times. We welcomed Elijah to our door during the Crusades. We sang Seder songs in the Warsaw Ghetto and in the camps. The world is not yet healed or whole. There is no sign of redemption. That has never stopped us from building, singing, retelling, yearning. The way things have been is not the only way the world can be. It is our covenant to seek greater freedom for all who are bound. Dr. King knew, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Justice everywhere is our destination. May this seder be our fuel. R. Rachel Barenblat Originally published at Velveteen Rabbi

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.
