Tweets of the week: 'Bye bye Key Food'

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

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, hand-crafted, organically grown, free range nuggets of wisdom and jest for the week ending June 3.

This week, a Brooklynite of distinction faces off with a possum, and a New Balanced king is spotted in Park Slope. Pride Month kicks off—and brands glom on. Bed-Stuy would like to be left alone and a spice dealer from Bushwick makes a cameo in the new Disney+ “Obi-Wan Kenobi” series.

Plus, more insane real estate listings. But what else is new. Here are your tweets of the week.

I’m in a BK housing group on Facebook and someone is looking for a roommate for their *10th floor* walkup in Williamsburg.

$1700 per month.

I’m at a bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and literally everyone around me is a 9.5/10 this is disturbing and my eyes hurt.

If I hear you calling Bedstuy, Stuyami, I’m going to slap you in your gentrifier mouth. It’s stupid and a block party, stop colonizing and renaming shit.

— La Gran Tirana (@alexachula) June 1, 2022

My fear is that the Bedstuy block parties are going to be ridiculous now that TikTok keeps posting about them. Used to be a best kept secret.
