Did your @fortnitegame suck you & everything else into a black hole? Can’t help you there. But death-by-black-hole is a thing, and there might even be an entire universe on the other side. https://t.co/Toio6gpgdv — PolitiTweet.org

FYI: As duly pointed out by people geekier than I am, the Iron-ring dad-joke can be further improved if instead you call it a Ferrous Wheel, rather than a Ferris Wheel. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

@MAFamatic Yup. That was my bad. But people are still having fun with it., since a Ferris wheel is an actual thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

@garymphoto Indeed, that would have made a better joke. — PolitiTweet.org

@svegfinne @StrangerNoise You missed her reference, I think. She’s quoting Carl Sagan’s 1980 Cosmos: To make an Apple Pie from scratch, you must start with the Big Bang. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheEmCEffect Nice catch. Thanks. So where were you when we copy-edited the thing? Will change to something like, “Within 200,000 light years...” — PolitiTweet.org

Apparently, (highly literate) curious canines also like reading my books. Caught “Ella” looking up, a bit concerned after reading about her friend Pluto and his demotion. Meanwhile “Truly” was especially absorbed by the chapters on Hope and Parenting. https://t.co/ReZmrLH7oa https://t.co/tBG3lWI160 — PolitiTweet.org

When asked about a politician’s suggestion that the poor of America lift themselves up by their bootstraps, soprano Jessye Norman (1945-2019) replied with regal righteousness, “Some people have no boots!” — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

An opera soprano whose voice was so ethereal, at times it was too perfect for this world, and perhaps any other in the Universe. Jessye Norman RIP (1945-2019) https://t.co/cFllj851LA — PolitiTweet.org

@sarahmceneaney Good catch. But there’s a boatload of information in that tweet. After 20 minutes of trimming, only after removing two periods did I finally equal the character limit, which (unfortunately) prevented further improvements in grammar. — PolitiTweet.org
