When uploaded to Netflix, an episode of the educational children's show "Bill Nye the Science Guy" cut out a segment saying that chromosomes determine one's gender.
[...] While noncontroversial at the time, the 1996 segment appears to contradict Netflix's new series "Bill Nye Saves the World."
The new show endorses a socially liberal understanding of gender, under which gender is defined by self-identification rather than genetics and there are more than just the two traditional genders.
People, people, people... Say it with me: The Internet Never Forgets.

TOO BAD YOU CAN'T BUY a voodoo globe so that you could make the earth spin
real fast and freak everybody out.

That fight was coming sooner or later. If we hadn't started discovering a handful of the hundreds of icy KBOs/TNOs, imagery of Ceres [wikipedia.org], an "asteroid" with a rounded body in hydrostatic equilibrium, might have sparked that debate. It could have become the 5th planet from the Sun.
Eris is slightly smaller but more massive than Pluto, and Neptune's moon Triton is both larger and more massive than Pluto, and could be a captured KBO. Their existence implies that we will find more objects larger than Pluto (not counting Planet Nine).
The IAU and Michael E. Brown are more significant "Pluto killers" than Tyson.
