Misattributed George Orwell quote stems from stage play. The quote “The people will not revolt. They will not look up from their screens long enough to notice what is happening,” comes from a stage adaptation of 1984, not the original novel by George Orwell. https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/misattributed-george-orwell-quote-stems-from-stage-play-idUSL1N2OV189/ https://www.aap.com.au/factcheck/george-orwells-1984-book-quote-is-false/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/orwell-1984-smartphone-screens/ https://inews.co.uk/news/media/george-orwell-quotes-fake-online-correct-nineteen-eighty-four-1550139 https://www.the-independent.com/voices/top-10-fake-george-orwell-quotations-b2162185.html

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1862218558702301528

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
