The Downton Abbey of seasons past is back, warts and all. Last blackout viewers were treated to a minute episode of pure Downton Abbey-isms, with Violet spewing her wisdom left and right, ethics development galore, only an occasional plot twist that stretched the story line into unbelievable territory, Tom Branson as super hero, and even a glimmer of passion &#;tween the sheets twixt Mary and Matthew. So let&#;s dive in, shall we?
All duck down and hail Bates&#;s release from prison!
Thank you Julian Fellowes for putting an end to our misery. I had reached a point where I didn&#;t care if Bates rotted in prison for the rest of his life. This week we were treated to Bates and his Anna sitting side by side, walking side by side, and painting side by side. Their tepid kisses told me that they should stop taking lessons from Mary and Matthew and embark on another steamy honeymoon night.
Ethel and her miasmic scarlet letter washed clean
It&#;s becoming clear to Violet that: &#;Ethel is notorious in the village.&#;
&#;I don&#;t think so&#;, replies Isobel, who will counter her nemesis any time, any where, even at the price of being mistaken. Violet always has the upper hand: “I comprehend
Is the word homosexual a slur? This is what it means to us as LGBTQ+ people
Wicked was once a pos used for evil acts and descriptions of Disney witches. But then it flipped and became a positive affirmation meaning something was really good.
Changes in definition like this often tell you what generation someone is from, but sometimes that can fetch about conflict and generational divide. Like the synonyms ‘queer’.
Use of that pos came up for debate again after we used the term in a piece about the nominations for the Metro Event Awards.
Reader Derek from Gospel Oak didn’t like it, saying that it ‘was and still is the most vile word’.
Younger people have reclaimed the pos, but Derek believes that not everyone in the LGBTQ+ community is ready for this – the pain is still too fresh.
Here, Metro speaks to people in the Queer community to discuss what the word ‘queer’ means to us, and – with utmost respect to the elder community – we discuss in our pieces, how the synonyms makes each of us feel.

In this episode, I communicate with activist, sex directions columnist, and progressive news writer Dan Savage about the legacy of “The Urban Archipelago,” a groundbreaking piece he commissioned and edited two decades ago in the wake of GW Bush’s reelection, urging Democrats to embrace cities as their political base and future. We explore how NIMBY-captured Democratic city governance has stifled urban potential — and why getting better and growing cities isn’t just policy; it’s party building.

Greetings and hello, everyone. This is Volts for November 20, , "Dan Savage on Blue America in the Age of Trump." I'm your host, David Roberts.
