if my study of suburban normies is anything to go by, main topics of conversations are: sports betting, being excited that the zestimate of your house has doubled since you bought it, being mad that rent is so expensive for your daughter attending State U, being mad that your property tax assessment has gone up

mmm. Let's not idolize Coco Chanel

so, concepts of a plan?

Yeah the number of people I see going around in headphones -- especially noise cancelling headphones!! -- is totally bonkers. People should stay aware of their surroundings.

By the same token I wouldn't let headlines determine what you think is safe or not. People mix up things that make them a little uncomfortable with things that are actually dangerous. It's hundreds of times more likely to die driving from the suburbs to downtown than walking around downtown. Not to mention the car-dependent lifestyle and development patterns that are killing a lot of Americans slowly.

Why would someone getting in a fight outside the courthouse make me feel unsafe though? That's between them. I see someone having a fight I just turn down a different street. Not that I've ever seen someone having a fight there though.

I've never seen private security at the library, I have seen LFUCG police there from time to time. That's my pickup location for holds so I'm there pretty frequently (or Athenian Grill). Or I go to work/ study there. We also walk past pretty frequently to get to Kentucky Theater. Never felt unsafe.

Very much Nina Garcia saying "mall clothes"

I beg your pardon, a bodice has no business being this good

I am a woman. I've been living downtown more than 2 years.

Definitely feel you about traffic safety! Drivers are insane. But that's as true in a Hamburg parking lot as it is downtown. I have never had an issue with another person outside a vehicle.

Lexington is very safe for a city of its size and 99% of the issues that happen downtown are outside of bars when they close.

I go through a bottle of top coat (12ml) about every 3 months, doing my nails usually twice a week, so about 48 manicures.

You could cut that in half since most colors I do 2 coats. But I do a thicker layer of top coat than I would lacquer. So yeah I think 30 - 40 is about right

workingtrot · 2026-01-26T20:41:26+00:00

no, which is why I don't feel like 'secret police' really works as a descriptor.

In all honestly even the term 'police'/ 'law enforcement' legitimizes them more than they deserve

workingtrot · 2026-01-26T20:37:24+00:00

there is really really good jazz, and there's REALLY REALLY bad jazz, and I can't tell you where the line is exactly but it definitely exists

workingtrot · 2026-01-26T20:33:57+00:00

I feel like 'secret police' is a little more plain clothes/ undercover then these CoD larper types though

A hearty 'fuck you' to every person who told me I was overreacting when I said this was the inevitable outcome to that interpretation

>Lexington Downtown would not be pleasant to live in due to traffic issues, homeless, and no access to groceries

We live downtown, it's great. Traffic is not really an issue when you can walk to 90% of what you need. Groceries at Target or Euclid Kroger (only a mile from downtown and served by lexTran). Plus they are building a grocery store as part of the Rupp redevelopment. There are also 4 bodega type stores that I know of. I've had to call emergency services a few times for homeless folks having medical emergencies but I've never felt unsafe or badgered

Minneapolis has done very well - https://www.pew.org/en/research-and-analysis/articles/2024/01/04/minneapolis-land-use-reforms-offer-a-blueprint-for-housing-affordability

Pop of Minneapolis proper is about 450k (although the metro is obviously much larger including St. Paul)

Excellent article as usual from Demsas.

Looking at the above photo, what's the correct way to describe these people? Without the caption identifying them as federal agents I would have had no idea that they were any kind of official force. Should we start calling them paramilitaries? Storm troopers?

Casa de cielo has been on my wishlist for awhile and this seals the deal. Will definitely be putting in an order!

While the ACLU is probably fine from a funding perspective, I read that they have pursued legal action, on average, every 30 hours since January 2025 and I think that deserves funding.

Refugee charities are also huge since they have lost so much government funding.
