@LoganRay1984 Once again, thanks for the compliment. — PolitiTweet.org

@summer_aims Thanks. But in my Tweets, I capitalize using 18th century traditions — selected nouns here and there. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

@tmantizza Indeed. But ran our of Twitter characters to say that. It nonetheless applies to 85% of Earth’s population. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, July 5, 2021, Earth in its oval orbit is farther from the Sun than any other time of year. Perihelion: 91.4 million miles – Jan 2, 2021 Aphelion: 94.5 million miles – July 5, 2021 We’re also moving slowest in our orbit. That’s why Summer lasts 5 days longer than Winter. — PolitiTweet.org

July 4, 1776 Independence Day in America We celebrate the day we declared independence from Britain, long preceding the day we actually attained it. That’s badass. https://t.co/37ES9wdtTy — PolitiTweet.org

As you can tell, I think about Aliens often. But not as much as my colleagues do at the @SETIInstitute. A shout-out to https://t.co/bjriHna5fj for their decades of work in this field, and to the US @DeptofDefense, for looking up, while the rest of are looking down. https://t.co/4EWwcvYS38 — PolitiTweet.org

Gotta end with a Dad-joke… Q: What do you call embryotic Space Aliens? A: Eggstra-terrestrials. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

The search for Aliens on Earth has been crowdsourced to three-billion internet-connected smartphones around the World. If our best evidence for visitors from another planet is monochromatic low-resolution, fuzzy video taken by the USNavy, then there's more work to be done here. https://t.co/DEuxoNKBrM — PolitiTweet.org

Space Aliens, seeing Humans kill over land, politics, religion, & resources, would surely ask, “What the f*%k is wrong with you?" After which, they'd return to their home planet, declaring there is no sign of intelligent life on Earth. — PolitiTweet.org

If a UFO beams you up, steal a gizmo fom the Alien’s shelf when it’s not looking. Bring that to the lab — you’ll need it to supplement your eyewitness testimony. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

I wonder. If you can't teach algebra to a Chimp, then what Math might intelligent Aliens be unable to teach Humans? — PolitiTweet.org

Our image of evil Space Aliens derives not from imagined knowledge of how we think they will behave, but from actual knowledge of how we treat one another. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

Space Aliens might be surprised to see that most humans consume mammary secretions of farm animals & all humans kill other living things to survive. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

Humans kill one another so often, for all reasons including none, I wonder how we'd treat peaceful Aliens who visited Earth. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

SPACE ALIEN: Why does your United Nations have a Security Council? HUMAN: Our leaders argue there about how & why we kill one another. https://t.co/yTZAdXKL5z — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

Always liked the fact that Superman & Thor are both Space Aliens from their own exoplanets, distinguishing themselves from most other superheroes. https://t.co/Jh0VuH5FKd — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

I wonder what Space Aliens would say, if told that Earthlings shift clocks by an hour in the summertime to fool themselves into thinking there's more sunlight in the day. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

Space Aliens might be surprised to learn that in a cosmos with limitless starlight, humans kill for access to energy sources buried in the sand. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

Space Aliens may be surprised to learn that Humans have multiple languages, cultures, and traditions — and we kill one another because of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

Space Aliens might be surprised to learn that a third of our lives — a third of every Earth rotation — we lay semi-comatose on cushions. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

Would be cool if space aliens landed on Earth and instead demanded, “Take me to your common people!" — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

If I were ever abducted by Space Aliens, the first thing I’d ask is whether they came from a planet where fellow Aliens also deny science. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

This is what happens when Space Aliens discover you're eavesdropping on them. Or instead, maybe it’s what happens when a country regresses in its urge to lead the world in Science. https://t.co/tUMv3hhOLF — PolitiTweet.org

If a Space Alien landed on Earth and demanded, “Take me to your leader!” I wonder how many people would take it to their head-of-state. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

Note to HOLLYWOOD: No reason to think space aliens would have the same array of senses — sight, hearing, taste, touch, smell — as humans. They could have more senses than we do. Or all their senses could be completely different from ours. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

Note to HOLLYWOOD: A Space Alien with no DNA in common with life on Earth should look more different from life on Earth than **any** two life forms on Earth look from each other. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

Ready to resume the posting of all my Space Alien Tweets since 2009. But some of you didn’t like them. You’re not obligated to, but you can always unfollow me. Or just avert your eyes for the rest of today. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

@Disclose_UFOUAP By “Nobody" cares about my alien tweets” don't you mean “You" don’t care about my alien tweets”? — PolitiTweet.org

@dallasirushing @kurtybot A mystery. The world is full of mysteries. Learn to love the questions themselves. And remember best-practice: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence to support them. — PolitiTweet.org
