Even attention whores like NdGT still use AD and BC because he wants to honor the priests that devised the Gregorian calendar, despite the militant atheists (of which he otherwise is one) trying to berate him into using CE and BCE.

Someone just hasn't handed him the right amount of money for him to do differently yet. I don't think he does anything unless there's money to be had and/or pump up his Hollywood/political star stats. I can't stand the pompous ass.

Uhm....

Neil deGrasse Tyson did NOT demote Pluto.

The International Astronomical Union did demote Pluto.

Yes, Tyson was an advocate for it. But it wasn't his decision.

Yes I know that.
But he's made himself the defacto poster boy for it and loves jumping into the limelight every time someone brings up reversing that decision. Someone wants to make Pluto a planet again? Look at me!! I'm the unquestionable expert on everything!

That's exactly how Neil DeGrasse Tyson would respond.

I took it as "Unknown Acronym."  (Had to look up NdeGT.)

Make yourself a target and people shoot at you.

Pluto has enough mass / gravity to have five recognized, named, moons: Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra.

My vote is it's a planet, but my vote doesn't count worth a fart in a hurricane.

IIRC, the Yellowstone caldera is about 30 miles wide by 40 long and, as such, is the largest super-volcano caldera in the world.

If Jellystone blows, it’ll *expletive deleted*ck us all up.  But so will the Cascadia Subduction Zone slipping, or Biden winning reelection.
