I personally found his style really abrasive in the first and only recent show I’ve seen. Reddit was shitting all over him too, stating mostly that he’s a prick and not friendly IRL at all.
From me too. Reddit wasn’t mad because he’s ‘not friendly’, they were mad that Bill was “too woke” and featured a song and dance number by Rachel Bloom that even I found a little cringy tbh. Not because of the message, but I just think it was kind of poorly done. The only people I’ve ever heard say a bad word about Bill were climate deniers, anti vaxxers etc.
I’m proud of Bill for not backing down from politically charged issues, when he could easily ignore them to get more viewers/supporters. Scientists shouldn’t let politics interfere with Science and Science Communicators shouldn’t either.
well put. any time someone sneers ‘woke’ I laugh and check that person off of my list of people to give two fucks about. it’s such a stupid, regressive pattern that you realize is represented in choices throughout their lives.
I’ve never seen the originals, as he’s not that popular in Europe. My only exposure is “Bill Nye Saves The World” on Netflix. I couldn’t get past the first episode.
I’m a big fan of Sagan, and while I don’t think NDT’a Cosmos: A Space time Odyssey was as good as the first series, I was mostly looking at Nye’s show with the same lense and trying to draw comparisons between them.

have not seen that. will go look for it, I wonder if perhaps he’s exhausted trying to explain basic science in this idiot-filled age.
I watched half of the new cosmos, then something got in the way (deployment or vacation or something where I was away from the internet), I should rewatch it. Agree it was not as amazing as OG Cosmos (I love that series so much that I own two copies of the book, one for me and one for the kids). Sagan is just that awesome, it even overcomes the 70s outfits :D
am? dude, try not to trip on your keyboard while insulting people. it really undercuts your effort. I mean, perhaps consider for a moment that you am the real asshole lol
It’s important that you understand the difference between calling out the irony in a person like you accusing others of being “am” asshole- and… “defending celebrity gods.”
Oh wow, didn’t know Bill Nye also has a toxic, Rick and Morty style army of shit slinging white knights
it’s ok, calm down calm down… just explain what your beef with the science bro is.
not hard, articulate your issues man. let it off your chest, I can tell it’s really really bothering you.

That said what he advocates for is right.
the goofball science schtick doesn’t work for you? I know him from his old tv show from my youth.
well that’s… kinda an endorsement for me lol. most of reddit is a prick and not friendly irl from my own experiences.
appreciate the reply

You don’t even realize you’re am asshole

Oh the irony.
Actually bill Nye is a well known asshole, but keep defending your celebrity gods

Being pedantic about grammar is such a loser move
