Tweets of the week: Loading docks and cold-cocks

Plus some very local street tags

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 April 1.

We’ll start with the only contribution we care to make to the great Oscars Slap Discourse of 2022 and take it from there.

Now bedstuy and Philly got beef?

Gave my son his first cannoli today. An LA cannoli. It was an abomination. But he liked it, which made me feel bad because my boy deserves Brooklyn cannolis. All children deserve Brooklyn cannolis.

Albemarle Terrace, Flatbush, #Brooklyn. In Sept. 1922, #HPLovecraft found this pocket neighborhood to be a “delightful conceivable replica of a lazy, beautiful, London side-street of 200 years ago!” #Lovecraft was a tireless urban explorer. pic.twitter.com/mUBEO86fMB

Look at this luxurious kitchen in bushwick.

We definitely don’t need legislation to protect tenants from exploitative landlords, not at all. pic.twitter.com/0Gv3VIIG8i
