A Dismissive Eulogy
At least Gal Gadot was attempting to be kind to Stephen Hawking upon his death. Kirstie Alley, on the other hand, tweeted a weirdly dismissive acknowledgment of the physicist’s passing. She didn’t say anything to praise or comfort; instead, she sounded weirdly condescending to a man who surely didn’t need her approval.
Perhaps that wasn’t the tone she intended to convey at all. The actress may simply not be adept at using social media, much like our parents, who are still trying to figure out technology and feel they must sign their names to each text. However, we can’t help but wonder why she even bothered to send this tweet out in the first place.
