   Talk title I submitted: "No, that's not a UFO, it's Starlink."

   Talk title I wanted: "Starlink needs to do their own freaking public education campaign and not dump it on me and other astronomers to calm down random people who think they just saw a UFO"

     I just agreed to give a remote talk at a very large international conference in a few months, which is very cool! The major downside is that the talk will be at 2am my time 😭

     It's about satellite pollution, and hopefully a lot of satellite operator representatives will be there, so maybe the extra grumpiness will work in my favour.
