Water makes up more than 70% of the human body. And yet, even on the hottest day, we are still constrained by the absurd British social taboo against licking a stranger at a bus stop. Hoping to be out on bail later.

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
On June 8, 1949, George Orwell’s 1984 was published.
Written as a warning against totalitarianism, the novel imagined a world of constant surveillance, rewritten history, controlled language, and enforced loyalty to “Big Brother.”
More than 75 years later, its vocabulary—Big Brother, Thought Police, Newspeak, doublethink—still shapes how we talk about power, propaganda, and the loss of truth.
