It’s not the only problem with them, and potentially not the biggest either - there is no plan to remove or maintain them when they die other than de-orbiting them into the upper atmosphere. A recent study suggests that this will critically harm the ozone layer, and that adding metallic particles in the quantities implied by the number of starlink satellites that Elmo plans to launch could do far more damage to the ozone layer than our previous attempts to screw it up!

If I lived in a city, I’d love one of those! I live right out in the sticks, and it’s worrying enough meeting a big vehicle down the lanes on a bike, so being wider and lower is terrifying. I had a go on a recumbent bike a while ago, and would have bought it if it weren’t for the feeling of permanently being about to be squashed by a kid in a tractor. An electric-assisted recumbent trike that looks like a spaceship, and has room for some shopping would be mint anywhere else though!

I’m surprised and saddened for it to have taken so long for someone (in this case, me) to have mentioned Astronaut Dolphin Detective from Mr Pickles.

My god. That… that’s enough reality tv, thank you

You’ve enunciated that really well. I’ve never really tried put that into words, it’s just something that I’m surprised that more people don’t see. It drives me nuts that everything has to be given the same credence no matter how obvious the disparity of moral weight

What a video, phenomenal. It’s a great song, and so good to see the Ten Foot Wizard tee shirt. Golden Fool off the single is a monstrous song too, they’re just getting better and better
