Johnny Mnemonic takes place in the far off year of 2021. A global pandemic has infected half the world, evil pharmaceutical companies control everyone through their perpetual treatment that everyone needs to get while suppressing the cure so the pandemic lasts forever and they can retain their limitless power, China has become a global superpower while the US has degenerated, video communication devices called “eyephones” exist, and chips capable of storing 320 GB worth of data are small enough to implant in people’s brains.
Yeah, that’s pretty accurate.

Isambard Kingdom Brunel had the coolest name ever. He invented everything in the Victorian era. He only slept 2 hours a day because he was too busy inventing the modern world, yet he still found time to have a gaggle of kids. He also smoked like a chimney and died of a massive stroke at age 53.

So an increase of only 700 over 30 years means they’re no longer endangered? They make that many new humans every 3 seconds. Maybe we can sacrifice some villages in China to make more pandas.

Great news! Giant pandas are no longer classified as ‘endangered’. They’ve been downgraded to ‘vulnerable’ on the global list of species at risk of extinction after their population increased by 17% in a decade. It shows that conservation efforts are working and provides hope for the world’s other threatened wildlife.Back in the 1980s, there were as few as 1,114 pandas in China. But the most recent survey in 2014 estimated that there were 1,864 pandas living in the wild.After 30 years of slow but steady progress, the IUCN has now changed the panda’s status on the Red List of Threatened Species. The decision is a recognition of the hard work of the Chinese government, local communities, nature reserve staff and WWF over many years. But the panda’s long term future is not yet secure.
