quote [ Martin Niemöller’s famous warning has returned for a grim new century. When they came for the Wikipedia editors, I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t one. When they came for the journalists, I didn’t protest because I wasn’t one. Now they have come for the operators of amateur radio, and there might be no one left to transmit the warning. ]

quote [ Empress Chung was created as a collaborative work between South Korean (AKOM) and North Korean (SEK Studios) animators as a way to help unite the animation industry between the two nations during a time of increased collaboration and cooling of tensions in the early 2000s. While critically successful it failed in the box office.
Due to its poor box office results and rising tensions between North Korea and South Korea over North Korea's nuclear missile tests, Empress Chung was never released on home media and became a lost film. ] Love running across stuff like this.
