for the last 2-3 weeks my junk mail has doubled each day. I attribute this to COVID and having to stay home and shop online more, but why starting in the last 2-3 weeks? very weird. Took the jerks all this time to recognize me? 
Someone is selling email addresses, and it isn't me. I have not created any new accounts since COVID started, so I have my suspicions (Amazon, Google, Microsoft... the usual suspects).

FleaBay, perhaps? That's where my old mail address leaked out over some careless seller.

it never happened to me. I hardly get junk email. gmail is very good at getting rid of the junk mail.
I suspect their is an issue/bug with their junk email code, but who knows.

Have you updated your domain registry information lately?
I've been spam-free for years but I have to register email address for contact with domain registry and within 24 hours I started getting spam on that email address. The bots are terrible.

Gmail had their system messed up so bad recently that it thought some inboxes didn't exist at all (and I've seen it first-hand, when replying to gmail senders).
Maybe in some restore process, they had to nuke some spam rules and junk is now getting through while it's re-learning to make the distinction between junk and legit mail...
Pure speculation from my part. Who knows.

The universe being what it is, and the laws of physics being what they are, it would be more surprising not to receive this sort of stuff.

You mean a signal on a frequency that is used for communication with sattellites because there is no natural activity on that frequency. And one on a narrow band as a bonus? I would expect it to be more human origin. Things might get interesting if they can rule that out.

Really? How do you know?

Not that we could not be surprised, but I would pick a frequency that's out of the way of the local natural fusion reactor in the solar system. And, to a lesser degree, also to avoid any interaction of that fusion reactor with planets' atmospheres.

That, or someone yelling "Keep quiet! They are spying on us again!"
After all, they might already know that we have an Empire. And a Federation, Death Stars, Terminators, Jedi, Sith. All of that might be heading their way if we notice them.

Sort of a play on:
Good girls go to heaven.
Bad girls go everywhere.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

If she's bad? By that logic they all would be ... Wait...
