The Substack is still live[0]. Anyway, one of the images in his Twitter banner[1] is an X-ray of a spine with a bunch of screws in it. The Substack is also named after Breloom and has a picture at the bottom, and that's also in the Twitter banner but doesn't seem otherwise prominent in any of his social medias. Not very hard to figure out a spinal issue as a potential motive and guess at an interest based on the banner and cook up a quick viral post. I'm not saying it's definitely fake, just urging a bit of caution for the time being.

> The Substack is still live

This might be a bug in substack? If you go to https://substack.com/@breloomlegacy it says "Profile not found", so they might've tried to scrub it

maybe some cache ttl hasn't run out yet or something :/


I dunno, but the article continues to be live, and I can't imagine Substack doesn't know how to scrub posts from their platform if they wanted to. We'll find out eventually I guess, so I'll continue to urge people to be cautious with this and wait a bit.


It's gone from Substack now, but I agree with you that we should be cautious in assuming anything at this point.


Why would substack scrub it? I thought they were anti censorship.


I'm guessing they are afraid of inspiring copy-cats.

Not that it would stop a really determined copy-cat from taking notes from Luigi Mangione.


My buddy sent me a link to that archive.ph version of the substack, but it showed it was published today??
