Saving the world before bedtime?

[raybear]

I'm really not much of an alarmist or believer in the nature of the apocalypse, and yet....lately more and more things are happening in the world where I find myself thinking more and more "wow, that's the type of fcked up shit I'd see in a movie!" But it's real. Excrutiatingly real. And sometimes I just wonder if it's another notch, another tick on the doomsday clock. If our world really is on the verge of imploding.
