My favorite Neil Tyson bit is when people get excited for lunar eclipses and he, the guy whose only job is to get people excited about space related things, tells them they're stupid for being excited about space related things
He is such a fucking dork. Just abuse substances and prepare for the next shitty year, like a fucking adult.
not that anybody's asked

Dear diary,
once again, the earth completes the 365.4 rotations from a point in time chosen randomly by the foolish ancestors of the fools I am stuck on this planet with. And once again I posted my cool bit about how having fun is ignorant.
Once again, my cuttingly witty and acerbic observation has gone under appreciated on social media and the incurious masses go about their night of celebration like clowns.
I shall be going to bed early this year, instead of refreshing my feed all night (fool me thrice! ha!) and accidentally hearing the fireworks as the clock strikes twelve o'clock.
Good night, fair record of my thoughts, my only true companion.He was right in 2018; no one asked.
No one's celebrating the new year because maybe it makes the milky way galaxy happy. It's like telling someone who's celebrating their child's birth that them having a child is cosmically arbitrary; no one's celebrating this stuff to flex on the Andromeda galaxy.
I am. Hey Andromeda galaxy, do you even contain sentient life that celebrates astronomical events within you? Get fucked, Miky Way is number one!
Believe it or not I actually did have that thought in mind; we can boast something that as far as we can tell no other galaxy can boast.
