Edge of Armageddon: why does one of the world’s top thinkers believe we’re nearing nuclear apocalypse?

In a chilling new book, theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli says we’re back on the brink – and this time, leaders chronically lack the nous of Kennedy and Khrushchev. So why is he against rearming?

I just saw the Ribena advert for the first time, while watching TV with my dad. The one with Nena's 99 Red Balloons (1984) as the soundtrack.

So Ribena's marketing department are trying to create an association between their sugary drink and the accidental destruction of the world in a nuclear war?

A review of Nuclear War: A Scenario, by Annie Jacobsen. A brilliant book that I’d DNFed half way through, not because it was bad, but because it scared the crap out of me and made me want to cry. It sometimes keeps me awake at night. If you want to know how our world could end, at any time, in a couple of hours, read this. #books #nuclearwar https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRcP61mJ/

@stilgherrian @artemis To use the classic quote from the #NuclearWar board (well, card mostly) game I played last weekend at #SwanCon50: “Can I have change from 25 million people?”

Putin Allies Float Nuclear War Scenario Amid US Crisis Wishcasting

As smoke from Ukrainian drone attacks filled the air, Putin's allies gathered at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum to discuss a chilling scenario: nuclear war. The meeting, attended by Russian oligarchs, far-right European groups, and even some US officials, couldn't have come at a more ominous time.

Canada knows the truth in this matter and should be testifying to it. #NuclearWar is overwhelmingly believed to start by #falsealarm so dueling stories is extinction level stupid. www.usatoday.com/story/news/w... As things stand Canada's silence would seem to validate Russia's claims re Latvia.
