The end of the world

[The Knife's Husbando]

"Off-topic"? Maybe. Fucking powerful? Definitely.

"Your generation would probably ‘livetweet’ the apocalypse" you
say, and you laugh. You mean it as an insult, and I understand, Or you don’t
because the word lies awkwardly on you tongue, stumbles as it
leaves your lips, air quotes visible.
You meant it as an insult, so you don’t understand, when I look into
your eyes and say “Yes”
Because we would.
It would be our duty, as citizens on this earth
to document it’s end the best way we know
and if that means a second by second update
of the world going up in flames, or down in rain, or crushed under
the feet of invading monsters

So be it.

It would mean a second by second update of
“I love you”
“I’m scared”
“Are you all right?”
“Stay close”
“Be brave”

It would mean a second by second update of the humanity’s
connection with one another,

Proof of empathy, love, and friendship between people who may
have never met in the flesh.

So don’t throw the word ‘Livetweet’ at me like a dagger, meant to
tear at my ‘teenage superiority’.Because if the citizens of Pompeii, before they were consumed by
fire, had a chance to tell their friends and family throughout Rome:

“I love you”
“I’m scared”
“Don’t forget me”

Don’t you think they’d have taken the chance?”

Nuclear war is an intensely scary scenario.

For sheer balls-to-the-wall nuclear terror, I recommend Threads.

For sheer balls-to-the-wall nuclear terror, I recommend Threads.

That may be the only film with a post-apocalypse even more depressing than The Road.

I think that when the world ends it will be humanity's fault.

I think that when the world ends it will be humanity's fault.

I think when humanity ends, it will be a few thousand years before all visible signs are gone and you'll need an archaeological team even to know we were ever here, and after a few million, the planet will be well on the way to whatever is the new dominant species.

As George Carlin said: "The planet is fine. The people are fucked."

I sometimes imagine how I would plan for the end of the world, but me being me, I likely won't get to that point before it even happens.

And, don't think I should start worrying any time soon.

lol @ Britain testing all of their nukes on Australia.

Except the ones tested in Nevada/The Pacific Ocean.

 

[Some JERK]

Except the ones tested in Nevada/The Pacific Ocean.

I have it on good authority that those were all aimed at Australians who were on vacation.

The world's not going to end at any time in the foreseeable future. We're not on the brink of nuclear holocaust, society isn't about to crumble, Trump won't destroy the world if he's elected, Hillary won't destroy the world if she's elected, ISIS isn't going to ruin the world, the climate won't change too much, and life's not that bad.

If they're spoiling Game Of Thrones, then they will have the apocalypse thrown on them.
