More people dying from lack of medical care in Texas must be a feature, not a bug according to Greg Abbott.
My tax dollars can go to hospital care for anyone who needs it. I don't care if they're citizens, green card holders, or undocumented. Immigrants contribute more than they take, and we should all be part of one health system anyway.
Texas doesn't elect a new governor until 2026, but vote blue and get rid of terrible Republicans at every opportunity.

"[Damian Collins, a human geography professor and housing expert at the University of Alberta] is also skeptical of the argument that the situation hasn't gotten worse.
'The fact is that we have this incredible number of people experiencing homelessness in our city'"
But if you frame the issue such that it hasn't gotten worse, you can just policy drift your way right past it, duh!

Umberto Ecoโs List of the 14 Common Features of #Fascism.
Eco reduces the qualities of what he calls โUr-Fascism, or Eternal Fascismโ down to 14 โtypicalโ features. โThese features,โ writes the novelist and semiotician, โcannot be organized into a system; many of them contradict each other, and are also typical of other kinds of despotism or fanaticism. But it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it.โ

Centaurs are small objects that orbit somewhere between the asteroid belt and the Kuiper Belt, often having the characteristics of both asteroids and comets. This image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows the faint coma that surrounds Chiron, which was first seen in 1989. Credit: NASA/ESA/Hubble Space Telescope/Karen Meech

Lots of TLC and fuss for our old dude canโt imagine life without him Emily was only a baby when we got him.
Loony as this is, these are at least quickly dismissible civil suits. Trumpโs supporters have been baying for criminal charges against journalists on this dumb argument that unflattering coverage is an โin-kind campaign contribution.โ Itโs preposterous. But with MAGA judges, who knows.

๐บ๐ธ US: Americans outraged as hospitals bring back COVID-era mask mandates for visitors and patients.
"One hospital system in Monterey, California, which treats nearly 400,000 patients a year, this week reinstated its face mask mandate for visitors and patients."
"Meanwhile several counties in San Francisco's Bay Area have also brought back mask rules in healthcare facilities ahead of flu season."
"And this week, New York City's health department again began recommending people mask-up while using public transport as the nation heads into winter."

He used rear projection for the image and side-illumination and a camera underneath for the touch point capture.
