We’d like to think celebrated author Joyce Carol Oates just has a wicked dry wit. We’ve been waiting a long time for her to top her tweet about a barbaric Stephen Speilberg killing a poor triceratops. It’s still up:
So barbaric that this should still be allowed… No conservation laws in effect wherever this is? https://t.co/hgavm9IBaM

On Saturday, to commemorate King Charles’ coronation, David Hering posted a photo of Charles wearing the “royal infinity gauntlet.”

Oates has deleted her response, which makes us believe she wasn’t kidding:

Honestly, I never thought I was smart enough to write for a living so Joyce Carol Oates is a great inspiration. https://t.co/s1wpECqjTh

Oates did leave up her tweet about Camilla’s giant crown:
imagine wearing a crown that size! "Queen Camilla" is so ludicrous, Monty Python would be defeated by the spectacle. perhaps none of this would matter much if the UK were not so stricken economically right now–astonishing numbers of very poor persons dependent upon food banks. https://t.co/74YJNKTng2

Monty Python couldn’t write better tweets than Oates, though.
