5am talk tomorrow "No, that's not a UFO, that's Starlink" for the IAU General Assembly, about how astronomers are doing ALL of the public education for satellite companies while they destroy the sky, the atmosphere, and Low Earth Orbit for profit. Meanwhile, every fucking article that talks about SpaceX includes the line "SpaceX did not respond to a request for comment." Do better, SpaceX. You suck.

I hope I am tired enough that I avoid rage-screaming over Zoom.

@sundogplanets Make up some large font signs ahead of time "I AM HOLDING UP THIS SIGN BECAUSE IT'S 5AM HERE AND SCREAMING ABOUT SPACEX'S IRRESPONSIBILITY WILL WAKE UP MY FAMILY!"
@ml Hahahaha that is such a great idea!!!
@sundogplanets I'm all about creative science communication. ;-)

@ml @sundogplanets

Bonus for creativity iF you hold it up as a background of your background for the zoom call... Then you can point and switch between the live background and the sign. 😆

Think about the camera angle taken where or even using the laptop camera or a higher resolution camera from the laptop camera perspective. Have fun & congratulations! 🥳🎉🎊 :-) 👋
