The news in the world is awful, but it's almost Halloween, so let's talk about pumpkin enrichment for big cats.
This is Jinx the black leopard (Big Cat Rescue, Florida) enjoying shredding a pumpkin.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

Good pep talk!
I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years.
So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

🌟 ABX Pearl of the Day: ertapenem hypoalbuminemia
❓ Q: My ICU patient with hypoalbuminemia has ESBL E. coli pyelonephritis, resistant to PO abx. He improved (afeb, WBC WNL, off pressors) after 3d of meropenem. Should I avoid narrowing to ertapenem?

So delighted to be in the pharmacy business in this new age of snake oil salesmen.
As someone who did molecular simulations in undergrad and grad school, I’m telling you now that a computer cannot fucking know about drug interactions.
What's the worst that could happen?

NASA is being told to cancel 19 *active* missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE *hiring/retention* budget going forward.
I need people to let that sentence sink into their bones for a minute.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.
