He could have posted something about how the universe doesn't fit our preconceived ideas and how this day is an example of that and that this means you should dig deeper to get to the truth because it's usually a lot more complex than what it seems.

But no, Neil woke up and chose dumbassery

No no no, calendar is stopping, so March 1 can be a day later. We're not jumping, we're waiting for some time to pass before resuming counting.

Even the smartest of us can have our dumb moments

Once I started to see more of him in unscripted interactions, I lost all respect for him.

He's so pedantic and has a lot less substance than you'd think... He knows a lot about astrophysics, but his explanations are a lot more shallow than similar science communicators

Turns out, it was the voice - the way he speaks with this sense of wonder really draws you in. Seeing him talk to other scientists, he just AMOGs them into their place without really understanding what they're saying... But their scientists, so many of them just sit there confused about why he's being so pedantic about something they didn't say
