The Doomsday Clock was last updated January 2025, I remember having watched it live when the update was announced. But it’s pretty much out of date at this point, especially due to news from the most recent few weeks.
While we’re “just” two months from the next update (yeah, time flies), perhaps the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists should consider updating it every three months or, even, every month…
…even though the Doomsday Clock have been had a similar role and power that of UN: none at all, they can’t even stop nuclear countries from pushing the juicy fan-with-three-blades passion-colored button, shall any of these countries decide doing it for the sake of it.
Which reminds me of a joke: “What’s the difference between a rock and the UN? A rock can be thrown during a tantrum, at least”. Similarly, “What do the Doomsday Clock and a sundial have in common? Both can’t tell you the time during the night time”.
