Tweets of the Week

We’re feeling like a pig on a leash as we contemplate rents — and the typical Manhattanite’s cluelessness around Brooklyn geography.

Composting comes to Crown Heights, Ronald Reagan gets hipsterfied and a pitch for the “Real Housewives of Flatbush.”

Plus Brooklyn looks like a fat dude’s head and Bushwick is now called “Theyhattan.” We don’t make the rules.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries kicked the week off with the most-Brooklyn speech ever, plus Bushwick remains an easy target. Also: a bald eagle!

On Brooklyn’s mind: Rep. Jeffries will become the first Black lawmaker to lead a party in Congress, plus other equally important stuff.

This week we ponder what to do if Twitter dies, ‘totally normal’ November weather, dating woes and the Dems’ new leader, Rep. Jeffries.

Plus, “the Bushwick rats throw the best parties” and East New York passing as a moor on a British isle … and more.

Plus, a warning about what might be lurking inside your child’s Halloween candy this year.

We are all just twerking on the Jeep of life, rolling down the Flatbush Avenue of our destiny.

Plus a marriage proposal in the Fort Greene “Buy Nothing” Facebook group and a new book store in Park Slope.

Plus, buying ‘womanchego’ cheese in Park Slope, the hipsters have come for pickleball and the last weird place in Brooklyn.

This week our locally-sourced tweets span space and time, where Brooklyn is ever-changing and somehow eternally constant.

Also this week: Gayle King ate at Cheryl’s, Antonio Reynoso salsa danced and at least one grandma went AWOL in a Bushwick dive.

Plus, welcome to Taintstuy!

Plus: Finding the deep space Bushwick, a “buttered roll” kerfuffle in Bay Ridge, Crown Heights love, and Park Slope chocolate on lock.

Plus, the surest signs that Brooklyn Summer has kicked off, declaring war on Bay Ridge (Maryland), and blasting Seinfeld in Bed-Stuy.

Also: Phoebe Bridgers rocks the park, the mayor gets booed at Pride and the Puerto Rican Day Parade brings the vibes.

Plus, a proposal for a ‘People’s Republic of Flatbushwick-Stuy.’

Plus, conjuring Sharon Van Etten and bowing down to John Turturro. Also, Pride Month has arrived—and so have the brands.

Plus, outrage and heartbreak for Uvalde.

It’s not hard living here. It’s just tough to afford—and get around in (except maybe when crossing the Brooklyn Bridge to make a point).

Plus, The City uncovers an election fraud bombshell.

Plus: posh parent posturing, pizza porn—and a plea to abolish Greenpoint.

Plus, biking in the borough, the bread and the dead, and a few views from South Brooklyn.

Plus: Falling for Crown Heights, Fort Greene’s ‘equidistant vibes,’ end times in Gowanus and author Gary Shteyngart reps Bay Ridge.

A day after a devastating mass shooting on the New York City subway system, the communities of Sunset Park are rallying in resilience.

Plus, a win for Amazon Labor Union and Eric Adams takes an L, praise for Flatbush and some ‘inspirational’ signage in Park Slope.

Plus some very local street tags.

Plus, a glimpse of Prospect Park’s turkey vultures, a ball team called the ‘Jolly Young Bachelors,’ and a visit to a mildly NSFW pier.

This week: Remembering Biggie, mocking Syracuse, long distance dating in Flatbush, a bird’s eye view of Canarsie and more.

Plus: Gov. Hochul visits Bed-Stuy, direct action scores a win in Crown Heights, and some thoughts on gay bar names.
