The story of Alan Turing leaves me completely choked up. It is arguably one of the cruelest ironies in modern history: a man who helped defeat the NAZIs, was persecuted by the very government he helped save… Because he was a homosexual.

We revisit a horrific story from the book of Judges that historically was used to condemn gay men. But there are no gay men in this story

We revisit the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in the book of Genesis with an AI generated episode.

Cultural genocide.

It's just heartbreaking.
