They can’t move it any closer to midnight with a dem president in office. Only with a pub in office.

Those of a certain age will remember Mr Blackwell’s
Worst Dressed list. The Atomic Scientists’ clock is just as much a pointless piece self-promotion as that was,
And should be given just as much weight. If I didn’t think Andy Warhols’s “fifteen minutes of fame” is about the most stupid hackneyed cliche around, I’d use it to describe this propaganda

this is where you know how dumb these Atomic scientists are — when we’re closer to nuclear war extinction today than say, October 1962?

I believe that’s the only time the president attempted to evacuate his family to Camp David, but I think Jackie refused to go and said she would sit with John Jr. and Caroline on the White House lawn rather than leave.

Kennedy, IMO, — for all his flaws — was the last Democrat president who actually loved the United States as it was originally constituted.

“ Extensive use of AI is already occurring in intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, simulation, and training. Of particular concern are lethal autonomous weapons, which identify and destroy targets without human intervention. Decisions to put AI in control of important physical systems—in particular, nuclear weapons—could indeed pose a direct existential threat to humanity.”

I think I saw this movie….

BAS has always been far left propaganda rag with significant communist influence all the way to the top.

As I recall, Jeremy Stone, the son of admitted KGB asset I. F. Stone, was the editor for many years. Might even still be.

I’m glad President Trump unleashed that massive updating and prepping of our nuclear forces, the only thing worse than Russia or China trying to destroy us would be us being unprepared to fight back.

Under Trump, America’s nuclear weapons industry has boomed

JFK planned to kill us and he did.

This is his immigration America, the passage of his dream bill was in honor of his death before he could accomplish all of it.

Now wait a minute!

I thought a Broken Clock was right twice a day (or once a day in 24 hour time).

This Doomsday Clock sure is broken but it's just bullshit propaganda.

So it's broken but it's wrong all the time. Does that sound right?

Hard rock and metal bands address the End of the World head on.

Other genres talk about getting annihilated.

It’s like George Carlin and Baseball vs Football.

Megadeath has “Countdown to Extinction”…John Lennon had “Give Peace a Chance.”

SOD gave us “F the Middle East”….U2 gave us “Songs of Surrender”.
