Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson

Its not just me right? This guy is insufferable. Like he got to take Carl Sagan's seat but he has none of the humility that comes from the sense of awe that Sagan was able to inspire through his understanding of the universe.

I don’t get why it’s so popular to hate on him.

Its not a matter of popularity but a matter of how he conducts himself.

All of those tweets just seem ... Not worth reading? Like it's either his opinion (feel free to share, whatever) or a fact, but not a very enlightening one. Just block him and move on.

I have a special dislike for mass audience "science" stuff but I recognize that people like it and just ignore it when I see it.
