Visiting Hwarangdae Railway Park

From one of the authors most known for stories with a rather positive outlook on technology Jules Verne's "Paris in the 20th century" is a interesting book, though rather bleak which was probably the reason it was not published before 1994.

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:

Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.
It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”

The Garfield comic for today seems to be missing the colour black somehow.

At time of writing this is how it looks on www.gocomics.com/garfield/202.... which is the official web syndicate of the comic.
