This piece is for everyone who’s tired of “I’m just being open-minded” being used as a shield for sloppy arguments, adorable calculations, misuse of statistics, media hype, and pseudo-Galileo theatrics.
If we let cults replace evidence, our brains aren’t “open”… they’ve just fallen out.

I’ll to start an agent that transcribes the entire history of nonsense that Harvard puts into the world around 3I/ATLAS. It’s important for keeping the score in the death match against Schiaparelli and Lowell.

3I/ATLAS starts showing more metals. Still weird ratios, but one of our early speculations appears to be on the right track. Stay tuned for a detailed analysis soon.

Summary article about 3I/ATLAS with a yet unpublished image of its recently developing cometary tail.
Telescopes Reveal Surprising Chemistry of a Rare Interstellar Object Passing Through Our Solar System
Called 3I/ATLAS, the object is only the third of its kind known to astronomers, and it’s likely been heading our way for billions of years, carrying pristine material from another star system

Cool shot of 3I/ATLAS we got last night through some 8m glass. Looks like a comet to me!

VLT is telling us that 3I/ATLAS is coming in like disco ball. You can be almost certain that Harvard will process this accordingly.

3I/ATLAS IS AWAKENING!! In a weird way. More soon on arXiv…

The Thermal Drama of 3I/ATLAS: The above curves are basically a year-long slow cooker recipe for an alien snowball.
Moral of the figure: interstellar travel is glamorous, but it’s hell on your skincare routine. Taken from arxiv.org/abs/2508.02777

The *Fringe Bayesian Explorer* has struck again. My condolences to the other 3I/ATLAS papers posted on arXiv today.

🔭 Say hello to 3I/ATLAS - only the third known interstellar object. We’re throwing photons through some 4m and 8m glass tonight. That faint glow in the viewfinder? Looks like a tail. Weak, but sassy. Just like its orbit. New data’s flowing and it’s looking spicy. Stay tuned!
