A thread brought to you by Kevin Hart.
So, that's cool. Homophobia and transphobia are comedy gold.
And look, I don't know if Kevin Hart shouldn't host the Oscars. That's a larger convo to be had. Bare minimum, though? Just apologize for saying this hateful bullshit and commit to doing better. Start there.
This could even be a really great learning moment that's led by @KevinHart4real. Talk about how he's evolved on LGBTQ issues and what that took. Talk about the violence and discrimination faced by LGBTQ people. Use this as learning opportunity. Turn this into something powerful.

Every rational adult who's from the south knows the only generic name for any carbonated, sugary beverage--regardless of brand--is "coke".
"Hey, can you grab me a coke?"

"What kind?"

"Dr. Pepper"

"Got it."
I saw you liked this tweet, @DrPepper, and I want to assure you that I can be bribed for marketing on my account with several cases of Dr. Pepper.

If you had told me a plot point of a movie was the villain attempting to ruin the career of an elected official by showing a video of them quite capably recreating the dance from “The Breakfast Club” in college, I’d have assumed it was some really bad Disney Channel flick.
Like... a kids movie where the villain is written like a 2x4 plank to the head in crayola.
The end of the movie is a big musical number and features Ally Sheedy—whom the producers have ironically cast as the villain in a wink to adult viewers—experiencing a redemption arc and leading the cast in a group dance.

I can honestly say this has been the most productive year of my life, by far, and I'm really proud of that. I wrote a *lot* of things, but here are three things I wrote for which I'm most proud. (very short thread)
In April, I had this exchange with some transphobic religious folks, and the moment became something that has meant a lot to me.

In August, I got upset over a lot of the ageism I've seen seeing toward older folks, so I wrote this.

Peut-on écrire un thread sur un sujet de physique qu’on trouve bien cool mais qu’on ne maîtrise pas totalement ? Eh bien pourquoi pas ? On va donc parler du principe de Mach. #thread
Disclaimer : ce que je vais raconter est issu, pas entièrement mais presque, de l’Insoutenable gravité de l’univers, livre de Gabriel Chardin sorti en mars 2018 aux éditions Le Pommier. J’en reparle en fin de thread.
Ernst Mach est donc un physicien et philosophe autrichien (1838-1916), il a bossé sur des sujets assez variés : l’optique, l’acoustique ou les vitesses supersoniques.

'For a few days last week it seemed we might witness a rare example of integrity, independence, and courage in Hollywood, that herd of independent minds.'
'Comedian Kevin Hart was slated to host the Oscars, but some tweets insulting to gays from several years ago surfaced, and the Salemite usual suspects began clamoring for the stake.'

Gold: After drifting slightly lower on Monday, #gold has recovered much of this weakness and is trading around $1248.50/oz in early London trading on Tuesday.

(Short thread)
Gold: The delayed release of the COTR data from the CFTC saw changes in the week to last Tuesday 4 December, but considering the changes in Comex total open interest, not quite as large as I expected.

Gold: The net managed money position in #gold was virtually eliminated (-0.2 Million ounces) as 2Moz of new longs entered the market and 3 million ounces of shorts covered.

Let me tell you a story (thread). When I came out to my mom at 17, I wasn’t too sure I was gay. Neither was she. Popular media and public representation mirrored only one specific caricature, and both of us (in our own minds) thought I couldn’t be gay
Coupled with the fact that while growing up I 1) barely ever saw any representation of queer individuals in media and 2) if I did, they were all the butt of all jokes, the tireless “omg that’s a man in a dress” tropes, led me to believe that I couldn’t be queer. No sir not me
Hence, I went back in the closet, thinking since there is only one way to be gay I DEFINITELY cannot be gay. It was only about a year after that that I learnt and realized how ridiculous that notion was
