Big news today in the world, what with the Doomsday Clock moving 30 seconds closer to midnight. That puts us at two-and-a-half minutes to the apocalypse on the metaphorical timepiece from the The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. Which is really not a good thing. It’s the closest we’ve been to midnight since the early 1960s — you know, back when that little incident known as the Cuban Missile Crisis happened.
We were at two minutes to midnight then, and that was probably the only moment ever in history where everybody was kinda just like, “Yeah, we’re all about to get nuked, huh.”
