"We may not all conceive of whatever it is as ‘holy,’ but I think most of us are seeking something that is beautiful and marvellous to us in some singular, seemingly intangible way. Like a more just world, with less cruelty, less suffering...this is the kind of ‘holiness’ I seek."

Screenshot of a tweet from Joyce Carol Oates posted on Sunday, November 9th that reads "so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates--scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. in fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. the poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."
Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

I agree. My last few years in Brooklyn, it made me sad seeing kids only going to shops and restaurants in the neighbourhood, not ringing neighbours’ doorbells.

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.
