Here's a real case to illustrate the hilum overlay sign. radiopaedia.org/cases/anteri...

🎯 Mass in the hilum that contacts hilar vessels will obscure them, similar to the silhouette sign.

🎯 Hilum overlay sign: mass anterior or posterior to the hilum does not touch the vessels so they remain visible through it.

It’s not original to me, but it certainly captures many of my experiences

I bet it was a little "angel", who happens to be super funny.

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

As a Dem Block Cap'n who knocked on dozens of doors in August & September Georgia heat, who contributed $$ to dems & who urged (effectively!) friends & family to vote dem in what turned out to be a 60/40 dem wave, I will be apoplectic if dems cave. $$ & time will go to primary opponents.

Welp, looks like I was wrong, Dems r folding & I'm heat of 1000 suns furious after knocking on doors in Ga August heat, sending $$ to dems & doing effective GOTV as a dem block cap'n. They're throwing away recent 60/40 dem vote in Ga. Have called/messaged my Senators. Shumer has got to go.

Unfortunately, as an Atlantan, I'm a long-standing & long-suffering Falcons fan. Have always had a soft spot for your Ducks!

Good point, but I think they both matter, in fact they are inseparable: the $$ that the games generate are directly proportional to the number of eyeballs. Gotta go now and prepare for Georgia v MS State!

Republicans will fold. Americans really, really, care about football. When air travel stops, the NFL & college football will grind to a halt, just when the playoffs are getting cranked up. Cancellation of football will lead to mass outrage, especially from MAGA types, that will end the shutdown.

Americans really, really, care about football. When TSA & air traffic controller shortages shut down air travel, the NFL & college football will grind to a halt, just when the playoffs are getting cranked up. Cancellation of football games will end the shutdown, you heard it here first.

Me too. Made zines with fourth year med students today, mine were the rattiest.

Asked google about "pro football games this weekend", according to google AI Overview, there are no pro games scheduled this weekend & the "season is not in full swing at this time." It claims the most recent game was Jags/Chiefs & missed Thursday's Eagles/Giants game. WTF. @noethematt.bsky.social
