The Doomsday Clock — Nah, Let’s Go with the Pretty in Pink Kitty Cat Clock

Look, she’s cute! She has eyelashes AND Pearls! Come on, absolutely nothing so horrendous as nuclear war could happen with this, right?!!

Umm — right? I mean — like, RIGHT???

So, this was somehow in my news feed earlier today:

Map reveals best places to live in the US if nuclear war breaks out (msn.com)

This is a thing — or maybe because it’s Groundhog Day here in the U.S.?

But for real? Because nothing says “Hey, I really feel safe and secure in my country of origin just thinking about where the best places are to purchase a home for dwelling in the event of, oh, I don’t know…a nuclear war?”

Like — how very kind and thoughtful these real estate agents are for taking the time to put this helpful map together for all of us, “just in case” …

As it turns out, according to the article, the best places are rural, and not densely populated — wow, who would have thought?!! After a cursory search, it seems to be that articles like this circulate every few years.

If this all sounds slightly surreal, that’s because it is — maybe —

Here’s a better suggestion: just don’t live in the U.S. — move abroad — not that nuclear war can’t happen anywhere, but I’m just saying…don’t let the doomsday clock scare you, just remember to, as Bob Dylan once sang:

“Don’t follow leaders, watch the parking meters”
