Reposted by KubaJames Austin @jamesdaustin.bsky.social · 12/10/2026The collapse in gender boundaries and stereotypes entirely broke some people. Their view of the world was defined by there being two entirely separate sexes. Eroding patriarchy/gender norms, trans/gender fluid people etc broke that model. And they're desperately trying to rebuild that divide. 2725541
Kuba @kayes67.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Because I thought it would be useful in debates with my colleague at work (as well as seeming interesting), I bought @robinwigglesworth.ft.com ‘s ‘A Fabulous Debt’ as holiday reading.

Kuba @kayes67.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Yeah the exact JPII phrasing was immoral “apart from cases of absolute necessity, when society has no other means of protecting itself” in Evangelium Vitae, which i would put in the (immediate for Karol Wojtyła) context and apply to like underground trials of Nazi collaborators, not the US 030
Reposted by KubaJWexTheSpa @jwsidders.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Today let’s remember the UK right’s collective adoration of Donald Trump. They championed him, said he was far better than the alternative, that he would deliver a New Jerusalem while owning the Libs. As with every other major call of the last 20 years, they were totally and unequivocally wrong. 412431

Kuba @kayes67.bsky.social · 04/10/2026This is why the handwringing about whether anti-Zionism is antisemitic wrings hollow imo; because of the history of how the language around it was used 130
Kuba @kayes67.bsky.social · 04/10/2026One dark echo that reverberates in all of these motions and rhetoric (same as when this was happening in Labour) is the Soviet “anti-Zionism”, that led, for example, to the 1968 expulsion of much Poland’s surviving post-WWII Jewish community under the official name of an “Anti-Zionist Action” 162
Kuba @kayes67.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I respect some people who left the Labour Party under Keir Starmer and joined the Greens, but, let me be real here, the foreign policy views on display here vary between mad and unconscionable (and I saw someone refer to the camp-y “emotional support IRGC” in a reply, hats off) 1186

Kuba @kayes67.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Yeah I’d be first to criticise AB for not committing either way but, *not publicly committing 100% to the minister in charge of the policy that has staked their political career on that policy* could be quite a shot across the bow if intended that way 140
Kuba @kayes67.bsky.social · 27/09/2026They changed it recently, but the passcode for the Belfast International Airport car rental parking exit used to be the year the team I support was founded (have I mentioned Wisła Kraków before). Amused myself by saying it each time we picked a car up, about twice a year 020
Kuba @kayes67.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Very good thread (and not just because I agree with it). Fundamentally, I think we’ve tested and disproven the thesis that we can go back to a 1970s social democratic coalition. Albeit @modernlockey.bsky.social makes the case for it far far more eloquently than Ovenden! 000
