George Orwell Blogs From the Grave
flaming error writes to tell us the Orwell Prize organization will, starting today, post George Orwell's diary entries online exactly 70 years after they were written. NPR discussed the blog and shared excerpts from the diary. We talked about a similar undertaking several years ago, when a diary from 1660 was put online. According to the blog's creators, it will allow you to "follow Orwell's recuperation in Morocco, his return to the UK, and his opinions on the descent of Europe into war in real time. The diaries end in 1942, three years into the conflict."

Dear diary,
Braaaaaaaaiiins!
George.
Wait, the diary was from 1660, but ends in 1942? Tell me we've sequenced his DNA and found out how he lived that long. I don't think I'm going to get through the whole thing if I read just one entry a day.
You seem to be pretty new here. The standard for "dumbest headline ever" is very, very high.
How good will he be about responding to comments?
Life would be easier if I had the source code.

Dare to suggest a dumber headline then?

Pretty good but his writing isn't what it used to be.
