In The Last Guardian, if you pet Trico in the right spot and under the right conditions, it is possible to soothe them to sleep.

Okay, we apparently need to have a crash course in food safety because people are still not getting it
The mere act of applying heat to food to cook it is not itself sufficient to say "this food is free of foodborne pathogens". "Safety", in this context, is a function of temperature AND time.

also, because some people are already misinterpreting this: there are no reports of any human contracting H5N1 from the food supply and enough contamination already that we'd have PROBABLY seen it if it were likely to be a thing, but we're not going to have a functional monitoring program anymore
I successfully nerd-sniped @niq.aeli.net into researching the cooking times to inactivate H5N1 (tl;dr: cooking to 160 F kills it immediately, for lower temps like sous vide the FDA standard 6-log reduction temperature/duration tables are going to be fine)

placing this detail here in case it helps your followers see it: the recommended age for pneumonia vaccine recently went down to 50+. a huge bunch of people are suddenly now eligible!

The r0 for pertussis is around 14, and the Tdap booster drops below 50% vaccine efficacy at 4.5 years. If it's been more than 4-5 years since your last Tdap booster, get one of those too. Get them now while they are still available.

Repeating the standard message: if you were born before 1989, there's a good chance you didn't get both doses of MMR vaccine as a child, and there are people who lose immunity over time. If your insurance will pay for a titer test to check immunity, get one done. If not, get a booster.

Your regular reminder that measles has a r0 (basic reproduction number) of 12-18, which means that in an immune-naive environment every infected person will infect 12 to 18 people around them: it's one of the most infectious diseases out there. Get a MMR booster or get your titers checked, ASAP.
In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.
