The Doomsday Clock has apparently never been this far advanced in the 75 years since it was first conceived of, mostly thanks to the invasion of Ukraine. (I do feel there’s an element of fingerpointing in how the website specifically offers Russian and Ukrainian translations…) Looking at the history of changes to the clock over the decades, that means it’s not even quite as bad as the 80s when I think we all just expected nuclear war as a matter of course, something Reagan would get around to whenever his astrologer said it was a good time to do it. I love living in the modern world…
