But that is the current situation as of Wednesday afternoon.

Yeah, and I think we can also say definitively that if you want to avoid the hantavirus, the number one step you can take is not getting on a plague ship.

Or hanging out in a landfill.

We have the technology to avoid this.

Speaking of rat poop...

On Wednesday, MS Now, my favorite outlet, reported that the FBI is investigating leaks to The Atlantic journalist who published that story about Kash Patel's drinking habits and absences from his job, a story that the FBI has previously called false.

but now is launching a criminal leak investigation into.

These investigations typically focus on leaking classified information, which does not appear to be a factor in this Atlantic article.

Patel is also suing the Atlantic for defamation for like $250 million.

And now through this investigation, the FBI may be able to seize the journalist's digital records.

The FBI is denied, though, that this investigation exists.

And a few hours ago, the Atlantic journalist published a follow-up story, which I should mention,

That cash retail has been giving away customized whiskey flasks, like bottles full of whiskey.

It's Woodford Reserve is what it is.

It's a Woodford Reserve bottle.

Which is definitely something an alcoholic doesn't have.

Definitely a normal non-alcoholic thing to do is to have like a $30 bottle of bourbon with your name on it that you hand out to strangers at work.

Yeah, it's not great.

This is not a great revelation.

This investigation, if real, very, very dangerous, right?
