a psychiatric condition that would justify hospitalization
Blaming homelessness writ large on mental health conditions is false. Homelessness has many root causes, and most of them are socioeconomic.
Of note, the overwhelming majority of unhoused folks don't have a psychiatric condition that would justify hospitalization. Someone with untreated schizophrenia running in the street and screaming is much more visible than the 20 other people sitting quietly out of the way suffering from PTSD or situational depression though, so I can see how you'd make that mistaken assumption.
Along these lines, there is no stupider entry in the American index than that of “Jeremy’s Razors,” a grooming company created by The Daily Wire, a conservative media platform founded in 2015 by Ben Shapiro (a political commentator you may have heard of) and Jeremy Boreing (a former film director you probably haven’t heard of, and the namesake for the venture).
This is a fucking Ben Shapiro product lmao

How dare you question the journalistic integrity of...Newsweek?
Newsweek has been vapid and awful for a long time my man. A better question to ask would be why did OP choose to link Newsweek here
Paul Begala is as "Democratic insider" as you can get, and is also an insufferable talking head. The point of getting a message like this out there is to undermine public perception of the Trump/Vance ticket more than anything
In response to Newsweek's request for comment on Begala's prediction, Trump/Vance campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said that "there's a reason Paul Beluga [sic] no longer gets paid for his political advice."
Lol
While Haley might have a broader appeal to undecided voters than Vance, her status as the last Republican to mount a primary challenge against Trump, when the former president often referred to her as "birdbrain," may make the scenario unlikely.
Lmao
Unfortunately for her, a whole bunch of her supporters supported her because they hate Donald Trump.
This NYT piece is awful. What happened to them?
Yeah, no one had ever even heard of Kamala Harris before a week ago, and she has no track record to speak of, so all we know about her are platitudes from the past few days /s
Ok, but this has pretty much nothing to do with unexplained disappearances, especially given the large homeless populations in other cities that are not showing on here. But really, this map cannot be relied on since we have no idea where the data is derived from, and we can barely even see it due to the poor resolution
If .zip is your home instance, why do you care about with whom .world federates?
By this logic, people's voting power should depend on their age, and people with terminal illnesses should have no vote. Incredibly dystopian
I just copied that sentence and was about to paste it here lmao
A group of European-American pioneers got lost here in the winter of 1849-1850, while looking for a shortcut to the gold fields of California, giving Death Valley its grim name. Although only one of the group members died here, they all assumed that the valley would be their grave.
I bet more people have died at each of the other 3 parks than at Death Valley NP. Maybe there's data out there on that somewhere
I assume you have to pay a fee to enter Death Valley National Park, and like every National Park I assume the rangers at the entrance and signage all throughout warn you of potential dangers. You can easily get yourself in trouble at Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain, or Big Bend National Parks, for example, if you don't take the risks seriously and make poor decisions.
Council member Christy Martinez-Garcia, who represents the north side of Lubbock where the art walk takes place, looked puzzled when the discussion started. She later said she was blindsided by it.
“I don’t think anybody was prepared for this,” Martinez-Garcia told The Texas Tribune. “More people attend First Friday than vote.”
Martinez-Garcia described the trail as a hugely successful event that attracts about 20,000 people monthly. She said it’s in the city’s best interest to be inclusive.
“We need to make it open for anybody and everybody, I’m straight but I don’t hate,” Martinez-Garcia told her fellow council members. “I appreciate your input, but it’s so important that we don’t pick who we are representing.”

>According to the affidavit, the suspect offered the man a drink from an open container, which he accepted. The man said shortly after taking a drink, he blacked out and had no memory of what occurred for several hours.

Hole In The Wall dodges closure, secures 20-year lease with $1.6M from city
![Embed prevented alt text](https://mander.xyz/pictrs/image/36418b29-753f-4ed7-8f91-2b67f0c4997e.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
The Hole In The Wall music venue has secured a 20-year lease and will remain open to celebrate its 50th anniversary next summer, thanks largely to $1.6 million in assistance from the city’s Iconic Venue Fund.
Will Tanner, who purchased the club located on the stretch of Guadalupe Street known as The Drag in 2008, signed the new lease agreement – an initial 10-year lease with two five-year extensions – with The Weitzman Group realty firm on Monday. The signing followed 10 months of negotiation and work with staff from the city and the Austin Economic Development Corporation to become the first recipient of city funds allocated to preserve culturally significant music venues.
Austin’s 27-day streak of consecutive 100° days ties as the longest in recorded history
[T]emperatures have reached the century mark for 27 days in a row. With records dating back to the 1890s, that ties with 2011 as the longest stretch of triple-digit temperatures ever recorded in Austin.
The KXAN First Warning Weather team is currently forecasting at least seven more days at or above 100°, which would extend the streak past 30 days.
The funding could help close the growing gap between unsheltered Austinites and available shelter beds.
