Not understanding the hate for Sex Junk, but then, I'm a fan of Bloom from Crazy Ex-girlfriend. It's deliberately silly with a good message.
Yeah, it constantly feels like they are cutting before someone finishes what they're saying.im enjoying it so far but by god the panels are so poorly edited, which probably also means that they were pretty poorly conducted, sadly
also bill stop doing the exploding fist bump, please
Yep, the show doesn't support a pseudoscientific view on gender they subscribe to.Apparently Neo Nazis like Ian Miles Cheong hate this show and are getting super salty about it on twitter.

He is a science educator and he knows his stuff on science. Scientists also help write the show. Of course you should have appropriate skepticism with all science, but also be careful not to make mistakes like ad hominem arguments.Kinda skeptical about what Nye says now that I'm aware he isn't actually a scientist.

The Sex Junk thing is great if you've watched Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
If you haven't (and there is no prerequisite for Bill Nye's show, of course) you're probably, and appropriately, like what the fuck is going on?

He is an engineer by education which isn't strictly a science. However, he knows a lot about science.Can't tell if serious or not. Why do you think he isn't an actual scientist?
It's lacking the production value around it for sure. As just a live performance on an awkward stage, yeah it's cringe-y.Nah even with the knowledge that Bloom's very talented, it's extremely cringe worthy and just terrible.
I am absolutely stunned that any of you guys think this show is anything close to "good". Take out all social commentary, all politics, all of that stuff. I don't care. As a show, about science, with Bill Nye, it's one of the worst things I've ever seen produced. I don't even have words for it. Saying it's "targeted towards the youth of 2017" is absolutely not an excuse and shouldn't give it a pass.

He's about as much a scientist as any shmuck on the street who understands the scientific method. He's running the talk show/internet interviews circuit, not publishing papers.
Not saying he's not a sharp dude, and he's probably leaned more through the course of being a "science entertainer" than most people, but he is certainly not contributing to any active research.
It is very impressive and his experience doesn't go against what I said but it's a great response to people trying to diminish Nye's knowledge in science: as well as saying that criticisms are directed at him rather than what he says.http://www.factcheck.org/2016/04/palin-as-much-a-scientist-as-bill-nye/
Is Bill Nye a science expert in every field of topics he discuss? No, but he qualifies as a scientist.
Nah i'll defend Crazy Ex and is one of my favourite of the CW shows right now.The Sex Junk thing is great if you've watched Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

Engineering uses science but it isn't a science itself and the non-engineering science degrees were honorary. But he doesn't need to be a scientist to be an expert in science, and he's certainly 'more of a scientist' than the vastest majority of non-scientists.

The Dean of Boston University's College of Engineering: "Engineers are not a sub-category of scientists. So often the two terms are used interchangeably, but they are separate, albeit related, disciplines. Scientists explore the natural world and show us how and why it is as it is. Discovery is the essence of science. Engineers innovate solutions to real-world challenges in society. While it is true that engineering without science could be haphazard; without engineering, scientific discovery would be a merely an academic pursuit."Wait, if engineering isn't a science, then what is?
That blonde girl is super tall!!!
"Nye has a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Cornell. He also has six honorary doctorate degrees, including Ph.D.s in science from Goucher College and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
He held various positions as an engineer between 1977 to 2009, such as contributing to the designs of 747 planes for Boeing and the designs of equipment used to clean up oil spills.
From 1999 to 2009, Nye worked with a team at the NASA and California Institute of Technologys Jet Propulsion Laboratory to design and create the MarsDial, a sundial and camera calibrator attached to the Mars Exploration Rover.
Nye also holds three patents: a redesigned ballet toe shoe, a digital abacus (a kind of calculator) and an educational lens.
Nye has written books on science, including Undeniable and Unstoppable, which cover evolution and climate change, respectively.
This is all in addition to decades of work in science advocacy and education, including acting as CEO of The Planetary Society and teaching as a professor at Cornell.
To sum up, Nye has a degree and experience working in engineering, which is the application of science. He has also spent much of his career working with and for the scientific community."

I lurk on r/conservative from time to time (t_d is too much of a nazi shithole for me to look at). It seems like their favorite new thing is to laugh at liberals for daring to say there's more than two genders. I really, really don't get it. Why is that the hill they want to die on?Speaking of Nazis, I check in and cringe at Reddit's Donald Trump forum some times and the last time I looked it seemed like tearing down Bill Nye was their new cause, all based around him not being rigidly gender essentialist.
Good lord. Advocating for indiscriminate kinky sex in a children's science show? I knew Nye was liberal, but I didn't realize he was just as off-the-deep-end as some of the ultra-conservatives he rallies against.My Sex Junk - Rachel Bloom - Bill Nye Saves The World

It isn't a children's show. Check the rating. He says at the start of the first episode that it is for adults. Come on.Good lord. Advocating for indiscriminate kinky sex in a children's science show?

The song was hilariously pathetic, so I at least wrangled some enjoyment out of it from that perspective, but I have a young sister who loves watching science shows on TV and Netflix and I had to send an emergency text to my mom telling her to make sure she isn't tuning in to this. Absolutely insane.
