On this day in history, August 17, 1945, George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' is published
'Woke Inc.' author Vivek Ramaswamy called the relationship between Big Tech and the government threat to liberty because'each can do what the other cannot.' The political fable, "Animal Farm," written by visionary George Orwell, was published on this day in history, Aug. 17, 1945. The plot of "Animal Farm" is based on the story of the Russian Revolution and its betrayal by Joseph Stalin and is deemed an allegory, according to Britannica.com The novella tells the story of a group of barnyard animals that overthrow and chase off their exploitative human masters -- and set up an egalitarian society of their own, the same source chronicles. As "Animal Farm" opens, Mr. Jones, the owner of Manor Farm, is intoxicated and heading to bed.

AI robot writes new Brothers Grimm fairytale
The Brothers Grimm have been dead more than 150 years, but they recently released a new story with a little help from artificial intelligence. The Princess and the Fox was created after a group of writers, artists and developers used a programme inspired by predictive text on phones to scan the collected stories of the Brothers Grimm to suggest words and similar phrases. Human writers then took over, to help shape the AI's algorithmic suggestions into the latest Grimm fairytale. The new tale tells the story of a talking fox who helps a lowly miller's son rescue a beautiful princess from the fate of having to marry a horrible prince she does not love. But here's the thing, the Brothers Grimm didn't actually write their fairytales in the first place.

Fairy Tales
Once upon a time, when it was still of some use to wish for what one wanted… …there lived a King and Queen who had a daughter who was lovely to behold but who never laughed, or perhaps, …there lived an old fisherman by the side of a sea that had hardly any fishes in it. If you are like me, you are already hooked. In the many stories of the three magic wishes, promises of infinite riches are just for the asking, but the wishes are always spent, first on foolishness, second on disaster, and third on bare recovery. In the Monkey's Paw, the old couple's first wish is for 200 pounds. The second wish is the return of their just-killed son.
