I got a “News flash!” email the other day that scientists had created a violin smaller than a human hair. Their timing was excellent. ---

She was exposed to empathy and went into anaphylactic shock. ---

I once saw some cheesy viking movie where they’d dig 20 foot deep pits, put dogs in them, wait until they were nice and hungry, and then they’d push traitors into the pit ( it was a long time ago, I might have gotten it wrong). I know that that isn’t what either you or I mean, as that would be horrible and cruel. Feed your dog “Farmer’s Market” instead… ---

Please do not feed our farmers’ market to your dog! We do have dog treats, and will be happy to give your dog one if you stop by and ask. (yes, I think you mean a brand of dog food . . . ) ---

> [@Section\_Maker\_Jupe](#): > > Political Wire says she was visiting biohazard facility with JFK jr. Patient zero for who knows what weird cosplay they were up to Looks like that’s a NIH/NIAID lab at Ft. Detrick in Frederick, MD. That’s also the location of USAMRIID–where the Army has a Biosafety Level 4 lab and researches biohazards like ebola and anthrax that could be weaponized. Since RFK, Jr. doesn’t believe in infectious diseases, too bad they didn’t get exposure to that lab also. (Not that they could. The personnel working in BSL-4 go through months of training and wear “spacesuits” in the lab space.) ---

> [@dasmoocher](#): > > (Not that they could. The personnel working in BSL-4 go through months of training and wear “spacesuits” in the lab space.) I can imagine the dialog: “Ooh, let’s go see what’s in that room!” “Ma’am, I can’t let you go in there. That’s a level 4 lab, and you don’t have the training or equipment.” “Do you know who I am? I’m the boss here! If you won’t let me in there, you’re fired!” ---

You’re right: ‘Farmer’s Dog’. A friend recently adopted a dog who had been raised on ‘Farmer’s Dog’ after the dog’s owner died. Beautiful dog; so much fun to play with! That friend works with a vet and said, "Sure, Farmer’s Dog is great, but I had to wean her away from it because it is the single most expensive dog food I can name. Sure, I’d love to feed it to her. I’d also love to eat Filet Mignon and Lobster every night. It’s just not in the budget." ---

> [@Yllaria](#): > > I keep seeing that she was experiencing an allergic reaction - without mentioning any symptoms. Until it’s stated publicly, I’m going to assume she got a rash. Nobody seems to be talking. But according to NBC News it may be that what she was trying to avoid (she was admitted on Tuesday and discharged fairly quickly Tuesday night) was a press conference, which had been scheduled to take place today. No doubt there might have been some awkward questions about her obvious lies in the Alex Padilla incident (that he didn’t identify himself, that he “lunged” at her, etc.) > **[DHS Secretary Kristi Noem taken to hospital after an allergic reaction](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/dhs-secretary-kristi-noem-taken-hospital-allergic-reaction-rcna213728)** > > "She was transported to the hospital out of an abundance of caution. She is alert and recovering," a DHS spokesperson said. ---

> [@Yllaria](#): > > I thought I found an article with a symptom listed. But then I noticed the Onion logo. At least you have to admire the Onion’s attempts to stay relevant, in today’s ‘stranger than fiction’ world. But from the fact that she was sent home the same day, I’m guessing that if there were any actual symptoms (other than the Cold Sweats at the thought of facing the press), they were minor. ---
