“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity”
NOV 22, 2023
LLAW’s COMMENTARY:
“The Day After”? Tonight is TV movie watching night, so I’m providing a link to this nuclear-war and human reaction story from 1983 that is recently getting a lot of media time, for anyone who wants to watch it.
What would nuclear war, or a hypothetical Doomsday really be like, and how would the general public react? I don’t think anyone really knows, but I think it would be world(s) of difference than anything we’ve seen or even dreamed of before. I have not seen this movie, but I will watch it tonight. If anyone cares, I will offer my personal review of it tomorrow evening . . . ~llaw
