Reflect Orbital, uspol, geospace, future math textbook problem
The FCC decided the orbital flashlight company can go ahead and pollute the night sky of the entire planet with it's misnamed Earendil-1 satellite. I have too many questions.
Its mass is 16 kg.
Its surface area is 18x18 m (324 m^2).
Its orbital altitude is 600-650 km.
How much power does a ground laser need to emit to push it into an escape orbit?
How much power does it need to emit to damage its reflective surface material?
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK NOOOOO

BBC, 2026-07-29, "Farage's by-election in Clacton officially confirmed": https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwylzxw7p52o
Notable quote:
Green Party MP Hannah Spencer said: "We get to spend the summer watching Clacton, a farce of a by-election where one of the candidates is a joke character filled with rubbish and the other is Count Binface."
"Hey if this is your flyer, I’m not going, I’m not donating, I’m not sharing. Don’t ask me."

Librarians removing AI from phones and teaching people they have a choice. Not political. Just information literacy, same as fighting book bans. The real work was always about helping people think critically.
Excellent @jasonkoebler piece in @404mediaco about the cultural shift in real-world and online flyers ...
... as people start posting AI-generated ones that all have the same bland creepy look
