Every week we at Brooklyn Magazine read the entire internet in order to curate (some of) our favorite tweets from the previous seven days. These are locally sourced, organically grown, free range nuggets of wisdom and jest for the week ending July 29.
This week, Brooklyn remains defiantly local and undeniably global. It is undeniably in flux and remains defiant in its constancy. Also, some of these tweets just made us laugh, so enjoy and keep an eye out for Boka the bodega cat.
Yoncé got me walking the streets of Bed Stuy like it's a runway … in Birkenstocks lmao

people r using yoga mats as beach blankets at the Brooklyn khruangbin show
everyone in NY now is like “I am Will Arancini, and my family invented arancini. I am an artist living in Bed-Stuy. I have $700 million. I have been in Italy for 3 months because my best friend Sarah Croissant of the Croissant dynasty in France, is marrying Daniél Tapas of Spain”
There are 2.6 million people in Brooklyn so how did I walk into the bar where my ex husband was with his new girlfriend tonight

Bedstuy Sun Williamsburg Moon Bushwick Rising
Police just pulled over/searched a car outside my apt with no cause. Within 3 minutes, half the block was outside with phone cameras on. Shocker– police didn't find (couldn't plant) anything due to the crowd.
Once again, community polices better than police.

My aunt Liz was a Black Rosie.🙏🕊 She continued her work at the Brooklyn Navy Yard well into the early 1980s until her retirement. #RIP
Many people do not know about the existence of Black Rosies.
Your history lesson for today.#BlackRosies #WWIIhttps://t.co/GDMXetbhOY

#BayRidge is one of the most special places in NYC. I've met some of the most incredible and diverse organizers and friends here, who work day and night to make their neighborhood better without much recognition. I'm proud to call it homehttps://t.co/mtkFAvuzrH

RIP Vin Scully, an ancient Irish seanchaí in a broadcast booth, whose gilded voice soundtracked the eternal blue summer, who could distill a century's worth of wisdom into a single at-bat, the last link to Brooklyn, the last link to a collective memory, the greatest of all-time. pic.twitter.com/UzsDeUSAKR
