A refresher:

His point about responding to spectacle may have been ill-timed, but it may be the most insightful thing he’s ever tweeted.

Tyson must not have learned about the bald eagle and its symbolism at Space Camp.

Rather than have a discussion about the “spectacle,” the media’s role in creating it, and whether it plays — as many of us suspect — a part in pushing these shooters over the edge, the frothing anti-gun Twitter hordes went off on Tyson.

Tyson quickly learned his lesson about interjecting facts, nuance, or any other sort of reality in into a leftist mob outrage cycle.

The Washington Times:

“Where I miscalculated was that I genuinely believed the Tweet would be helpful to anyone trying to save lives in America,” Mr. Tyson wrote. “What I learned from the range of reactions is that for many people, some information — my Tweet in particular — can be true but unhelpful, especially at a time when many people are either still in shock, or trying to heal — or both.

“So if you are one of those people, I apologize for not knowing in advance what effect my Tweet could have on you,” he continued

No word yet on whether Tyson plans to take a Twitter break before reflexively belching up leftist inanity.
