Musk is a sociopath
Inspiration isn’t plagiarism
Somebody is reading Fallout. This Guardian article is from the 19th of Nov. I wrote my piece three days earlier ahahahahaha. open.substack.com/pub/fallout/p/… @KresySiberia @HistorianBlood @BuddNicholas @HurstPublishers At Fallout we don’t do clickbait,just grab the news before it is news.

I’m joking. They’re not reading this substack. However we do consistently post on subjects before they become the news.
I have made dark jokes in the past about Russians committing suicide by shooting themselves multiple times, jumping out of a window, with a cyanide pill in their mouth.

I told you @BenJSkipper not to write that article about missiles and nuclear war but did you listen? Fallout - we don’t report the news. We make the news. open.substack.com/pub/fallout/p/… @HistorianBlood

Fallout - our collective - often ahead of the news and worryingly so. fallout.substack.com/p/illegal-weap… @HistorianBlood @BenJSkipper September 2 - nuclear threat and international law

@TarikCyrilAmar I’ve calling Twitter complicit for quite some time. @HistorianBlood @BenJSkipper @warmatters . This is just the latest from three weeks ago. Fallout.substack.com brings you the news before it’s the news. (Ulyanov turns up on August).& Matt Ford wrote a certain book last year:)

Budd of the week
A difficult subject
Have recently read talk of mental health involved in commentating on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, & wider genocide.
— Nick Budd (@BuddNicholas) 1:57 PM ∙ Nov 18, 2022
So thought I’d put thoughts down on my own experiences.
PLEASE do not view this as equivalence of me to Ukrainian trauma. It’s not.
Forgive my ramble.
1)
People think it’s okay to blast images of violent murder&corpses onto timelines. It’s not.Those images add to the mental baggage of other.They need to be viewed in a safe place in a safe way.They can trigger self-harm/worse. Report the news,post vid&images but use sensitive label

Mental health
Your mind has an atrocity clicker and you can click past 999 to 1000 and you react. Ben will have a story on this down the line. Take care of yourself. You can get trauma by scrolling through threads and timelines. The people posting atrocities have no excuse not to put sensitive labels on them. If you see a post, no matter how well-intended or righteous, that has triggering content and no label - let the poster know and then report it if necessary. Unfortunately most posters will reply that you’re an evil vatnik and people need GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION in their feed. Yeah, they need the info, appropriately worded, not the image or even graphic wording.
Yeah like somebody dropping an atrocity video without label into your timeline with the excuse “the world needs to know” when they’re doing clickbait, likebait or not thinking about other people’s mental health issues. I see enough atrocity ever day doing my book/substack work. https://t.co/XHZQ4stu6f

Book of the week
That’s a joke in light of the recent trouble with Sheik Torture Murder being defended by the US State Department as immune to prosecution which sort of means Putin will be difficult to prosecute, especially for the crime of war of aggression. See here.
The book is okay but the author isn’t a lawyer and it shows…

Another type of war
