@dorianlynskey.bsky.social @iandunt.bsky.social fully appreciate it is an issue you very understandably may not want to touch with a bargepole but this term seems increasingly to be worthy of the Origin Story analysis
It is very difficult to see Israel (and the ADL, for that matter) throwing around the term antisemitism at anyone who isn’t a Zionist, especially when Bondi Beach just happened and there are enough real instances of antisemitism in the world.

This is a hell of a thing. A terrifyingly low level attack on a power station near Paris in 1943 by Free French crew flying RAF Bostons (the British A-20 Havoc bomber variant). The A-20 was not the most agile aircraft ever, so this kind of flying under radar is a real feat.

@dorianlynskey.bsky.social it is nearly a week later and I still have “I’d rather jack” going through my head - this is a considerably better reason to pull Patreon funding than the pronunciation of Badenoch but I’m hanging in there - 3 parter on Labour wonderful so thanks to you and Ian
People forget the tyranny of the Reynolds Girls. Those scars run deep
I'm not saying 'only people aged 47 to 55 think Fleetwood Mac are bad' - obviously people of all ages have different opinions. But only people in that v specific age group think that 'Fleetwood Mac are bad' is a common sense, commonplace opinion.

OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...
How to be a man
The right story narrative about male attractiveness is grounded in Social Darwinism and free market economics. Can progressives tell a better story?
