An good breakdown of the warnings from Orwell's "1984" (compiled by Ageless Literature, a collectable book dealer). Orwell imagined a world where truth was malleable, language was a weapon, and privacy no longer existed. Here are seven lines from 1984 that no longer read like prophecy, but reality.

My buddies! Jeremy Gluck (vocals) popped round the other day for a cup of tea while he was nearby.

I loved reading The Clockwork Girl! Really enjoyable and a bit heart breaking.

Yikes! I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. I've been a dual US/UK citizen for 15 years. I renewed my US passport, but never bothered to get a UK passport. I figured I could travel with the US one if need be. Apparently not. Fingers crossed that you get the necessary documents quickly!

Yes, I agree β€” it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles β€” not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.

Don't give them one.

Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Yesterday's peaceful (but noisy) demo in front of San Francisco's Tesla showroom was the biggest yet. Next weekend, on Sat. April 5 from 1 to 3 pm, there will be a rally against Trump, Musk + their minions at San Francisco Civic Center Plaza, 335 McAllister Street. Please come! #nokings #nomusk

BREAKING: Trump is having a full-blown meltdown on Truth Socialβ€”this time over a painting of him displayed at the Colorado State Capitol. He’s lashing out at the governor, claiming the portrait is β€œdistorted.”

It’d be a real shame if everyone saw it… and shared it.

Mr. James was the nicest guy on the planet, and I was privileged to call him a good friend for many years. I'm devastated. RIP Brian.

Missing my friend Roxy today, on what would have been his birthday. I'm not entirely sure what garden implement he was posing with for this photo, but I'm absolutely certain that no manual labour was being done.

Great headline! I suppose "mad, bad, and dangerous to know" was already taken.

Wishing Mr. Brian James a very Happy Birthday today!!! I took this photo of Brian at The Troubadour in London, where he was celebrating the release of his 2019 biography. #punk #thedamned #lordsofthenewchurch
