'A Silent Voice' Anime Movie released 10 years ago today.
Several key animators and staff members who worked on the iconic movie tragically died in the 2019 Kyoto Animation arson attack.
The Anniversary should not only honor the movie but also the talented and hard working people who produced it.
Happy Birthday to Neil, who would have been 74 today. Taken too soon but always remembered. His musical legacy, his playing, and especially his lyrics resonate with us more and more as time goes on.

Many years ago I found a comic called Transmetropolitan in a bargain bin & it radically changed how I viewed stories.
In 1997 it predicted:
- 3D-printers
- Viral Internet culture before the internet
- Attention-collapsed, doomscrolling public
- Constant live-streams
- Media as spectacle, not truth
- Tech-addicted everything (even the furniture)
- A bombastic strongman vs. a smiling technocrat for president
- Normalized political corruption
- Fake causes distracting from the good ones
- Custom designer drugs
- Mega-wealth
Despite how gross Warren Ellis is as a person, he basically live-tweeted 2020s society in 1997. Worth a read for inspiration.
