And they only acknowledged the truth when the video footage came out that proved their original story was BS.

"It is curious, but till that moment I had never realized what it means to destroy a healthy, conscious man. When I saw the prisoner step aside to avoid the puddle, I saw the mystery, the unspeakable wrongness, of cutting a life short when it is in full tide. This man was not dying, he was alive just as we were alive. All the organs of his body were working –bowels digesting food, skin renewing itself, nails growing, tissues forming–all toiling away in solemn foolery. His nails would still be growing when he stood on the drop, when he was falling through the air with a tenth of a second to live. His eyes saw the yellow gravel and the grey walls, and his brain still remembered, foresaw, reasoned – reasoned even about puddles. He and we were a party of men walking together, seeing, hearing, feeling, understanding the same world; and in two minutes, with a sudden snap, one of us would be gone – one mind less, one world less."-George Orwell, "A Hanging"

For 200 years we had sawed and sawed and sawed at the branch we were sitting on. And in the end, much more suddenly than anyone had foreseen, our efforts were rewarded, and down we came. But unfortunately there had been a little mistake…The thing at the bottom was not a bed of roses after all; it was a cesspool full of barbed wire. ... It appears that amputation of the soul isn't just a simple surgical job, like having your appendix out. The wound has a tendency to go septic.
- George Orwell, Notes on the Way
Orwell on post-Christian societies.

But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.

This is like something out of a ‘70s science fiction dystopia movie.

Here he is. Orwell the armored gorilladactyl in all his glory. He has three pieces of armor, made of prints from other metamals. The chest plate comes from a crocodile, the right bracer from a hyena, and the left from a tiger.
I tried to give him a rhinoceros head helmet, but it just looked like a cute animal hat so I decided to go without.
I debated attaching the wings to his arms, but decided against it because of the scene in episode 35 where Orwell rescues the gang from their cage when the barristers show up. He carries them in his arms while also flying. I just can’t see how he could do that if his wings were attached to his arms. So instead, Orwell’s pterodactyl wings came with the arms they were already attached to.
Anyway. He took a really long time, and gave me some trouble, but I’m really proud of how he turned out
