Brooklyn Tweets of the Week: ‘Mood Ring’ at Mood Ring and a Malcolm Gladwell sighting

By Brooklyn Magazine

Every week we hand-select our favorite, most-Brooklyn tweets of the week for your reading pleasure. This week is no different. Here, we find our borough pondering the following: Why the Williamsburg Sweetgreen has a framed pic of Passion Pit, whether the shabbat siren is a coronavirus death alarm, and when—WHEN?!—will they play Lorde’s Mood Ring … at Mood Ring.

If you see something, say something: Be sure to tag us if you see anything that should be noted next week. Have a great weekend!

and I would like to see it 🙏

Lorde’s new songs are actually an itinerary for a night out in Bushwick

1) Getting ready (Stoned at the Nail Salon)
2) Going out to the bar (Mood Ring)
3) Dancing til dawn (Solar Power)

i wore an orange rain poncho to an outdoor show at prospect park during a storm and some girl who was on the phone trying to find her friends said “Yeah I’m standing next to someone who looks like a fucking traffic cone”

I feel so basic I got my nails done in Greenpoint and then went to soho and saw the same two white girls that were at the hair salon 😖

Ohhh my god if youre in Bushwick you have to go to Stinky’s. its this diaper themed bar. they have arcade games too but theyre all too tall for you to reach the controls. but if you say “Please Mr. Stinky I want to play!” the bartender has to let you sit on his shoulders to play

“Being mistaken for a panhandler by one of his new white neighbors sent a clear message about how the neighborhood was evolving.” Take some time today to read @jakki_kerubo’s story about Mr. Thomas Holley of Crown Heights, Brooklyn. https://t.co/EErvMREP2N

Wearing my mask not only because of the Delta but so I have less of a chance of being recognized in Williamsburg 🥰

Malcolm Gladwell just jogged past me in Williamsburg and I honestly didn’t even feel any need to stop him bc I got what I needed out of the interaction by recognizing him and feeling intellectual
