Y'all take a look at this paper about the scientific definition of planet. Apparently one of the primary authors was super salty about the reclassification of Pluto and so now they've spent the past five years putting together this research paper about it to prove that the current official definition of a planet is BS and I love it.

It's AMAZING, I love it???

FYI for anyone who's intimidated by the idea of reading a scientific paper: it's all History of Science and Scientific Politics, it's super readable, I highly recommend it if you enjoy salty academics laying the verbal smack-down.
