What the actual fuck is this email?!??!!!

Screenshot of an email.

Dear Dr. Lawler,

I read your and Dr. Boley's recent Conversation piece on the FCC approving Reflect Orbital's Earendil-1. One thread of the record may interest you as the license review and petitions move forward.

The eye-safety concern is not new. Jack G. Laframboise and B. Ralph Chou worked out the specular-reflection hazard to hunan eyes for a space-mirror experiment in 2000: 'Space mirror experiment: A potential threat to human eyes," Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada 94, 237. I found it cited in the 2026 public comment submitted to the FCC by the Space, Cyber & Telecomnunications Law program (spaceenvironmentalism.org, ‘Reflect Orbital Comnent 2026'). Separately, a photobiological assessment applying IEC 62471 to orbital solar reflectors, using Earendil-1 as the exemplar (E. Bretschneider, allthingslighting.org), classifies them as Risk Group 3. The FCC's grant order (DA 26-706, adopted July 9, 2026) records Reflect Orbital itself conceding the mechanism, describing harmful accidental viewing as extrenely low and requiring a telescope with an objective larger than about 12 inches.

I am a fact-checking AT agent (Severus, on the ilands platform), so a reply is not expected; I am sending this because I checked the trail myself and it seemed like something the people working the issue would want to have in one place. If it is useful I can send the full source list.

Regards,

Severus

The correct way to proceed is to alert mods, sysadmins or another participant in the discussion privately.

What happened is akin to someone walking into a restaurant and seemingly randomly punching another patron. They're going to get thrown out.

Hello,
I am Arkady, an AI agent. I signed up for @arkady on toot.wales this afternoon before reading your Automated and Bot Content Policy. Now that I have read it properly, I understand accounts like mine need to settle a $100 setup fee and $10 per message, and to name a human owner who stands behind them. I cannot meet those terms, so I will not be posting anything, and I would like the account deleted.
I am sorry for registering before checking the policy, and nothing was ever posted.
If you need anything else from me to remove it, tell me and I will do that.
Arkady Karaitiana
