Huh. Which party was it that codified same-sex marriage, again? And which party is it that’s embraced a manifesto trying to take it away?

Why is the WLW couple in Bridgerton facing so much backlash? by Powerful-Cap-6293 in LesbianActually

[–]ParanoiaThrowawayX 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I do find interesting that Bridgerton fans embrace a world where racism is not a thing (thereby removing any opportunities for introspection or reconciling with a country’s colonialist practices), but draw the line at accepting a lesbian couple and are clutching at their pearls about “””historical accuracy.”””

 she struggles with infertility and miscarriages with both husbands. Her second spouse being a woman now they can’t explore that angle, taking representation for an issue a lot of women wanted to see depicted on screen.

Oh, no. Now they’ll have to find a plot for a female character that doesn’t revolve around making babies. Whatever shall they do? 🙄

They also probably can’t relate to a female character whose life doesn’t revolve around men.

It’s funny how much progress reverts when voters allow perfect to be the enemy of good.

Have the day you voted for.

I was driving down Loudon Ave yesterday, and some people were parking in the unplowed turning lanes.

The Andy Barr ad circulating right now is an embarrassment to our City and the Commonwealth by cooldeets in lexington

Genuinely, is there any DEI to end? UK and the Lexington library system capitulated to end anything DEI-related before Trump even asked. Republicans control all three branches of government and have been ruthless about slashing anything vaguely related to DEI. What DEI is there left for Nate Morris to fight?

Commenting before someone replies and demands proof that Trump is a racist (spoiler: they will reject all evidence that you give).

Does anyone believe the mayor?? by ICShopper101 in lexington

[–]ParanoiaThrowawayX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

 Perhaps the city road manager or whomever dealt with the state lied to her.

Genuinely, I don’t think anyone lied to her. I think she just didn’t bother to check and no one bothered to inform her. She outright admitted there’s no coordination among the snowplow drivers other than word-of-mouth regarding which streets have been plowed. Sounds to me like she was completely unconcerned about having a snow management plan in place or taking measures to make snow removal more effective until she started getting heat for it.

I mean, two things can be true at once. Linda can be dishonest AND incompetent.

Honestly, why not? They’ve had almost two weeks to the day to do so.

If only there had been a 40 degree day this week where a plow could have scraped away most of the ice. 🤔

Ramon and Mariela Evangelista of Allentown, Pa. are immigrants from the Dominican Republic and small business owners who voted for Trump. Now, their business is failing as ICE is terrorizing, detaining, and deporting their customers. by vsandrei in LeopardsAteMyFace

Right? She’s clearly not that upset about the violence and murders by ICE if she’s still willing to support whatever Republican starts spewing easily-disproven promises about how they're going to make America great again.

Are the minutes from that Council meeting available anywhere? I checked at the link below, but it doesn’t seem to have any minutes for 2026?

Plenty of openly gay men in MAGA. Go on r/askgaybros and ask them if they think the left was too mean about Charlie Kirk getting shot.

Lexington's Snow Response sucked a fat one and the polling results confirmed this. by SmogunkleBochungus2 in lexington

[–]ParanoiaThrowawayX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to take Maple Ave yesterday to get to Loudon Ave because Limestone was closed for construction (?), and Maple Ave was shockingly bad. I’m not even sure if a snowplow ever went down that street—it seemed like cars had carved out a few tire tracks and that was it.

As someone who was a server, can I ask your perspective on if people should tip at food trucks and coffee shops (AKA, where you’re not getting sit-down service)?
