       Remember when comet 3I was going to turn out to be an alien spaceship and maneuver  around and attack Earth in early 2026?  (...Surely I wasn't the only one who got a parade of wacko/scared/bizzare emails about that...?)

       @sundogplanets I do not watch "Karen" videos of people losing their wits and being paraded on the internet for laughs and clicks. It saddens me and I see nothing delightful in it. And this is much the same.So someone wrote a rambling mail. Let it rest.

       @sundogplanets no, I'm not calling you a Karen at all. I was comparing whoever wrote that mail to Karens.

       One thing that was fun about being in New Zealand and working with the University of Canterbury interstellar objects group for a few weeks was hearing all the stories about weird emails/calls/interactions with Avi Loeb-adjacent conspiracy theory/alien people.  Interstellar objects seem to particularly attract that kind of attention (I'm sure Loeb hasn't helped)But even with all those stories about the weird world of interstellar object conspiracy theorists, this email was the winner
