    Tyson IMO went service industry worker crazy without the usual pressure of getting fired for talking back or snarking at the customers.

    Because being tapped to be the new Science Communicator Supreme sounds like a huge honor until you realize you’re now cursed to constantly be dealing with having to rehash the same bullshit you’ve long since lost interest in because of repetition over and over again on morning news shows, when you’re not instead dealing with Stephen Colbert trying to Checkmate Atheists you over your own field of study.

      He’s not even correct all the time. I saw him speak about osmosis once and he was saying solutes move across the cell membrane via osmosis. By definition osmosis is the movement of water. It really struck me at the time because was so confident sounding and I have never trusted him since

      I don’t know what colbert did but my trust in him is automatically higher than in Tyson.
