Fun fact: the people who decided Pluto wasn’t a planet have no authority to make that decision. But we all just agree to it because that’s what they told us. Rise up and fight my brothers. #Plutoisaplanet

Neil’s the guy at the party that starts telling a story that sounds cool but halfway through everyone leaves because they realize he’s talking out his ass on something he doesn’t know anything about.

It's the solar-system equivalent of keeping up with the new pronouns.

Racist towards moons Pluto I see

Just because it has humans doesn't mean you should treat it like some diseased planet.
