Leo from Virginia recommends Starry Messenger to fellow dogs concerned for the future of civilization. He also thinks you should pick up a copy for your pet human. #InternationalDogDay https://t.co/nvWhuMGU8S — PolitiTweet.org

Leo from Virginia just read about how space exploration, giving access to unlimited resources, could bring an end to all wars on Earth waged over limited resources. Reflecting on this fact gives him hope of the future of humans. #InternationalDogDay https://t.co/AiNVJPMraR — PolitiTweet.org

In the chapter Meatarians & Vegetarians, Leo from Virginia was intrigued that some humans eat only plants. #InternationalDogDay https://t.co/3QHp6qcEAQ — PolitiTweet.org

Reading his pre-release copy of Starry Messenger, Leo from Virginia was especially interested in the paragraph on Dog life-expectancy, in the final chapter titled “Life & Death”. #InternationalDogDay https://t.co/fdpqn07S26 — PolitiTweet.org

Objective truths apply to all people, places, and things, as well as all animals, vegetables, and minerals. Some of these truths apply across all of space and time. They are true even when you don’t believe in them. [Chapter: "Truth & Beauty"] https://t.co/hMOhOcF50a — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Objective truths of science are not founded in belief systems. They are not established by the authority of leaders or the power of persuasion. Nor are they learned from repetition or gleaned from magical thinking. [Starry Messenger: "Truth & Beauty"] — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Visiting aliens will have none of our biases. None of our preferences. None of our preconceived notions. They’ll surely notice that the very concept of truth on Earth is fraught with conflicting ideologies, in desperate need of objectivity. [Starry Messenger: "Truth & Beauty"] — PolitiTweet.org

Meat production in the US is staggeringly efficient. For example, across all fifty states we hatch, raise, kill, distribute, and eat a million chickens — PER HOUR.

@GoelMaurya @dagemh Searching keywords with my handle. In this case “multiverse”. — PolitiTweet.org

If the multiverse is real, I wonder if a universe exists where dreams are real and reality is an illusion. — PolitiTweet.org

@dagemh Years late to the party, but marvelous. Thank you. — PolitiTweet.org

Was recently asked. "Is Pineapple is a legit topping for Pizza?" As a pizza-eating, native New Yorker, I replied, "Is Pepperoni a legit topping for a Pina Colada?" And the conversation ended there. — PolitiTweet.org

FAST POLL RESULTS: One in five of you are either indifferent to the recently Tweeted book quotes, or would rather see something else. I respect that — in proportion to the proportion. So I’ll cut back a bit on the quotes, and continue to post other random stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

Mysteries of Twitter algorithms — many people saw my Twitter poll in their feed, but saw none of the dozens of quotes I posted. — PolitiTweet.org

Fast Poll... I posted dozens of quotes this past week from the soon-to-be-released book: Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization. — PolitiTweet.org

Chapter: LIFE & DEATH "An epitaph worthy of a tombstone comes from the nineteenth century educator Horace Mann: 'I beseech you to treasure up in your hearts these my parting words. Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.' " https://t.co/hMOhOcF50a — PolitiTweet.org

Chapter: BODY & MIND "Cosmic perspectives tend to humble our human hubris, and is fully justified for doing so. But questions remain: Are we smart enough to answer the cosmic questions we’ve posed? Are we smart enough to even know what questions to ask?" https://t.co/hMOhOcWGoK — PolitiTweet.org

Chapter Quote: GENDER & IDENTITY "Joan of Arc was burned at the stake in 1431 after a trial that cited her persistent cross-dressing as one of her heretical offenses. Clearly, the Creator of the universe cares about your choice of wardrobe." https://t.co/hMOhOcWGoK — PolitiTweet.org

Chapter: EARTH & MOON If light from a full Moon converts your genetic profile into a wild canine, consider that moonlight is simply reflected sunlight. So if the Moon turns you into a werewolf at night, then so should the Sun in the daytime. https://t.co/hMOhOcWGoK — PolitiTweet.org

Chapter: EARTH & MOON "Our goal was to explore the Moon, but while doing so, we looked back over our shoulders and discovered Earth for the first time. After the Earthrise photo made its rounds, people changed. Earth-the-planet mattered as never before." https://t.co/hMOhOcF50a — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Quotes: EARTH & MOON "Earth in the lunar sky is nearly 14 times larger than the Moon in Earth’s sky. Earth is also about 2.5 times shinier than the Moon. So full Earth viewed from the Moon is about 35 times brighter than full Moon viewed from Earth." https://t.co/hMOhOcF50a — PolitiTweet.org

Chapter: MEATARIANS & VEGETARIANS "Mushrooms occupy their own kingdom, splitting with animals later than our common ancestor split from green plants. We & mushrooms are therefore more genetically alike than either we or mushrooms are to green plants." https://t.co/w4IyMHGzma — PolitiTweet.org

Chapter: MEATARIANS & VEGETARIANS "Ventriloquist Shari Lewis created the adorable sock puppet Lamb Chop. Totally cute name until you think about it. If you had a pet cow, would you name it Ribeye? Lamb Chop wasn’t a puppet. Lamb Chop was dinner." https://t.co/w4IyMHoYuC — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Chapter: MEATARIANS & VEGETARIANS You won’t kill animals. So you capture mice in humane traps & release them to the wild. But all you’ve done is offer snacks to hungry woodland predators. Mice enjoy far greater life expectancy in the comfort of your home https://t.co/w4IyMHGzma — PolitiTweet.org

Dogs have always enjoyed my books. Leo, from Virginia, received a special pre-release copy, and was rapt by the chapter on Truth & Beauty. [Photo by Drew Pulley, Leo's pet human] https://t.co/hMOhOcF50a https://t.co/tJe2NFYYVc — PolitiTweet.org

In 1945 we defeated violent fascist leaders who controlled the press & public perceptions of truth. If you were 20 then, you are now 97 — or dead. I wonder if dictators are popular today because hardly anyone alive remembers the havoc they wrought & why we fought against them. https://t.co/awWnx0WQs4 — PolitiTweet.org

Just occurred to me: The famous Bat-Signal that summons Batman’s crime-fighting skills works only on cloudy nights -- and never in the daytime. Seems to me, a bat emoji sent to Bruce Wayne’s smart phone or even an old fashioned beeper would improve on this. https://t.co/APfyigCnwQ — PolitiTweet.org
