The symbolic Doomsday Clock was reset this morning in Washington, DC. It’s a symbol that the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists uses to indicate how close the planet is to complete annihilation. The new timing is 100 seconds to midnight, the closest to Doomsday the clock has been set since it began ticking in 1947. Marco Werman cheers you up with that news.
