@kschake.bsky.social , I know this is short notice, but I would be thrilled if you could join us tomorrow to discuss your article in Foreign Affairs. I should have asked much sooner, but it only occurred to me today, after a guest's cancellation: claireberlinski.substack.com/p/when-shoul...

Claire Berlinski shares a great list of Ukrainian information substacks posted by 'Ukraine Rising'. And she's a damned good writer. Substacks seem like a great complement to Bluesky for bigger topics and longer posts. (source: claireberlinski.substack.com) @claireberlinski.bsky.social

Here's another essay that should be read in conjunction with the essay about revolutionary Shi'ism. claireberlinski.substack.com/p/is-this-wa...
This essay, to my surprise, went quite viral. I had no idea my readers would be so interested in a detailed exploration of revolutionary Shi'ite eschatology. lnkd.in/eYxz_jsY. I was given to understand the Epstein Files were the key to success in journalism.

Claire Berlinski@claireberlinski.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe Logic of Catastrophe open.substack.com/pub/clairebe... Nuclear war isn't inevitable, but if we don't mitigate these risks, it approaches it. None of them will be fixed by optimism, fatalism, or denial. It will only be fixed if citizens get serious about this.

The Logic of Catastrophe
Proliferation, launch-on-warning, and AI raise the risk of nuclear war far more than you think. This is what we must do to mitigate the risk.

Thank you, Guy. I'm glad people are finally reading this. It didn't seem to attract much interest when I published it, but perhaps the symptoms are now so obvious that readers are more receptive to the argument.
Guy Gavriel Kay@guygavrielkay.bsky.social · 7mo agoI don’t envy @claireberlinski.bsky.social wading into the fetid swamp that is Trump’s increasing mental deterioration, but I respect her for laying it out in such detail. There is nothing good here (Vance??), but avoidance of the issue is worse, she argues cogently.
This, by @claireberlinski.bsky.social, is a smart, thorough comb through Trump’s use of language, and what it says about him — and robustly makes the case that no-one has to be qualified to make a diagnosis to point out what everyone can see and hear. claireberlinski.substack.com/p/the-presid...
