Doomsday Clock moves to 100 seconds to midnight

Closest point to nuclear annihilation since Cold War

The Doomsday Clock moved to 100 seconds to midnight – the closest symbolic point from an “apocalypse” since 1953.

The decision was made on Thursday by The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, which announced it from the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.

"We argued that the global situation was abnormal," Rachel Bronson, president and CEO of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, said during the press conference of the decision to keep last year's Clock the same, but noted that nuclear and climate situations are "worsening."

Yeah, I suppose that's one way of saying that the man with his stubby little finger hovering above the largest nuclear trigger on the planet is a thin-skinned, batshit crazy, malignant narcissist, who tends to lash out randomly and with no thought whatsoever at anyone who hurts his feelings.
