i am very sick of pretending conservatives have an argument that should be respected

Are there any Rochester news sources that aren't trash? There are many reporters I like, but I wish there was an independent local group I could follow.

As the government shutdown begins, the Rochester Housing Authority has begun planning on just what to do if its flow of federal housing dollars to over 26,000 recipients runs dry. www.wxxinews.org/local-news/2...

“I’m 87 years old. I’ve seen war, repression, protest, and backlash. I’ve been celebrated, and I’ve been branded an enemy of the state,” Jane Fonda said in a statement on Wednesday. “But I can tell you this: this is the most frightening moment of my life.”

JAIL FOREVER

Hypothetically, how does one get nominated to join the Rochester Preservation Board?

I’ll say it again: Pete Hegseth looks like whatever Hoobastank means

Republicans: I LUV WHEN DADDY-GOD DECLARES WAR ON ME UWU WRECK ME DADDY

I was excited to hear about the davis/Crawford miniseries — until I learned it's Ryan Murphy show 😡 Leave us alone, Ryan Murphy 😭

cis people don’t understand trans people have been living with a gun to our head for nine months and every so often the guy holding it yells BANG and we’re expected to go on as normal

I've largely dissociated away from reality and have been using The Sims to be the sweet liquor that brings a smile to my face in these dark times. And now EA is being bought by the Saudis and Kushner? Girl what the FUCK

“ICE has detained or deported members of at least 19 mrap families around Rochester, Buffalo, and Albany.

Absolutely insane answers to questions. How anyone thinks he's a good choice is truly beyond me.

The right to free speech isn't conditional, and Americans deserve to know their fundamental right is protected no matter what. Jimmy Kimmel's show returned last night in an important win, but millions were still unable to watch because Sinclair and Nexstar took him off the air.

“Democrats aren't losing because of outspoken support for trans rights: They're losing because they're not talking about transgender people's lives and rights.”

Lot of interesting drama about the Spirit Room here. Turns out they're closing/are closed.

Some of us do.

Idk how this would work with our governmental system or anything but I feel like if the chief executive of the country said a totally safe OTC drug caused autism then their entire administration and anyone appointed by that person should be replaced.

Do I know anyone on this app who is going to the Rochester History society annual meeting tonight? Idk if I'm gonna go on person or join via zoom yet.

Holy shit scorched earth motherfucker

Made it to my appointment exactly on time (yay!) and now I'm waiting on a Lyft to take me home so I can get ready for work lol. Good day, but I have mad feelings about rts.

My rts bus happened upon some street construction and had to take an alternative route. But, the driver decided to take a shortcut, and, in doing so, skipped 4 stops, one of which had a person waiting at it, who tried to flag down the bus. Wonder why people don't use the bus?

so many little humiliations under fascism. i’m supposed to say something nice about Jimmy Kimmel?

The fountain at Manhattan Square/MLK Jr park has been filled! I was worried for the motors, so this makes me happy :) Also the sounds of the cascade is so good! This plaza is a treasure ❤️

The Judge in the USA has dismissed the terrorism charge against Luigi Mangione, citing a lack of evidence. The collapse of the case against him begins.

Everyone seems allergic to the word, but Charlie Kirk was not an activist, he was a propagandist. Turning Point was a meme factory backed by a billionaire designed to steer kids towards Christian Nationalism. He didn’t advocate for policy; he spun narratives to change beliefs. Propaganda.

Notice how not a SINGLE CLIP of Charlie Kirk is being shown on TV as the news organizations try to eulogize him kindly. Even Fox News. You cannot show a SINGLE THING he ever said that wasnt spewing HATE and violence. What a legacy.

Sweet!!! That space is BEGGING for a pedestrian/bike path. I also wonder if there is space inside the library that could look into this area— maybe to be used as a mini exhibition about the canal, etc.

Ok not to be insensitive but who the fuck designed this

Tonight and free! #rochester #rochesterny

You don't have to post

The way my eyes roll completely out of my skull when someone complains about where to park downtown.

Wanna see what the Visual Studies Workshop has in their collections? Here's your chance to get a free tour! #rochester #rochesterny

If you're looking for a chill first Friday hang, come down to the Visual Studies Workshop (36 king st) before 9pm today. Prism Path is putting on a free psychedelic audio visual performance and it's honestly awesome.

Thank goodness we’re going back to the good old times before… *checks notes* medicine

Sims 4 players: what mod fixes Bust the Dust? I'm cool with dust bunnies and whatever. I just want butlers and maids to vacuum! Ah!

I just deadass saw a post in response to trump saying he'll use the national guard to invade Chicago, "why doesn't trump send the national guard to the places with high crime!!" (Included was a graphic of high crime cities, found in Republican states.) BURN! Fuck I'm so over this stupidity.

Blue states banding together to make up for a Federal vacuum in health policy feels like the first step into… something.

Bu doing what, god damn it?! What the hell are you doing, Joe? They’re eating our country alive.

We can’t have an accurate conversation about trans identity

20 Aug 25 -- Bluesky has suspended multiple trans users for anti-J.K. Rowling posts even when they didn't mention threats or violence. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.

Adrian Bliss hitting the nail on the head - that stare into the camera at the end, chef kiss 👌 “Making Art In 2026”

gonna be honest. idk how much more news about kim davis i can handle.

I have a whole playlist of "sad dance" music, which was inspired by this classic. youtu.be/CcNo07Xp8aQ?...

LinkedIn is trash. Horrible, horrible, Nextdoor-level trash.
