Here’s the latest picture of the Diphtheria wave in Australia. No new cases have not been reported since around 14 September. After a months-long outbreak covering multiple jurisdictions, this seems extremely implausible – there is more likely some glitch in the NNDSS reporting pipeline. 🧵

Here's the latest variant picture with a global scope, to mid-September. XFG.* "Stratus" variants remained dominant, but fell to 47% frequency. The JN.1.* + DeFLuQE lineages (almost all PJ.2.1) grew strongly to finish at 10%. 🧵

#BLFC2026 Wear a mask. That means wear an N95 in all public indoor areas but especially in con space. I will have a limited amount of N95s with me. If you need one, just ask! Protect yourself and your community. We are ramping up hard for Covid/Flu season and western NV already has high levels.

Jackson dropped off a magnificent cake today so I inspected this extraordinary development & can confirm the resemblance is uncanny. The handsome features, the magnificent ginger colouring, the judgemental expression…
BUT WHO AUTHORISED THE CONSUMPTION OF MY FACE?!

I can report that washing a tubload of Lego inside a 1970s zip-up duvet cover on the delicate laundry wash cycle actually works! This batch is going to the local paeds occupational therapy team 🤗❤️

researchers showed 1,950 people videos of cats and asked them to identify whether the cats were tense, fearful, or relaxed. while people were remarkably bad at this task, men especially struggled. this is probably not extremely surprising to anyone who has used a dating app.
