I saw a story that made me think of you both—this bat in Minneapolis tested positive for rabies, and I guess someone was seen touching it. Whoops. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/09/21/bat-tests-positive-for-rabies-after-found-in-downtown-minneapolis29 Sep 2026 13:36 +0000at://did:plc:w27txstgnqsqhzpguqffico7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwnx4oxcxc22https://bsky.app/profile/officehourspod.bsky.social/post/3mwbpfc46t22uA regular listener of Office Hours with Karpf and Loge added to our coverage of Big Bat and the bat infestation in stately Wayne Manor. It seems that the mayor of Batman, Türkiye sued Christopher Nolan for stealing the town's name.
