Psychologist Steven Pinker argues—and the bulletin admits—that the clock is anything but a scientific instrument.
And what precisely is the counterargument?
To: McGruff
It moved forward in 1953, after the U.S. and the Soviet Union developed the hydrogen bomb, or in 1974, when missiles with multiple warheads became a reality.
Uhm. No it didn't.
People "moved" it.
Also this lame excuse for a Phd doesn't even know the difference between "and" and "or".
To: Fiji Hill
And just what’s so awful about Midnight anyways?
The Clock struck 12?...Oooo scary!!
Now when it sticks 13, then I’ll start to worry.

I think the folks who run the nuclear clock, set the clock forward early.
They sprang forward about an hour.

the annual announcement is a publicity stunt that demeans the scientific community As a statistician who once worked extensively with the scientific community, I think this clock is not what should be worrying scientists. Their own conduct, politicizing research, is what demeans the community.

The “My Work is Done Here” meme is hilarious. Do you know where the background pic came from?

I for one just don’t give a damn.
I probably have 10 or 12 clocks in this house, if even one of them shows the correct time I would be amazed.
It’s day time when I can see my dogs outside in the morning, it’s night time when I can’t see them.
It’s time to get to work when I have had my morning coffee, it’s time to stop when I am afraid I will run over one of those dumb muts in the dark with the tractor.
GOD will bring doomsday when he is damn good and ready, not according to some assholes clock.

No. Just saw it on FR a few years ago and added it to the archive.
It totally and accurately represents the Obama administration. This guy was so obvious it’s painful.
