Brooklyn Tweets of the Week: Fauci claps back, Brooklyn-style—plus pups with pasta names

A roundup of (some of) our favorite locally sourced tweets for the week ending July 23

In the week-on-Twitter that was, Dr. Anthony Fauci brought Brooklyn real-talk to Sen. Rand Paul (yay)—and West Coast wildfires brought haze to the east (boo).

If you see something re-tweetable in the coming days, say something: Be sure to tag us if you see anything that should be noted next week. Have a great weekend!

This is the most Brooklyn Italian I’ve ever seen him https://t.co/lrjoUB8IZD

Aaahhhh the strange orange haze over Brooklyn is from the wild fires out west! Got it! Now I can continue my day harboring a knowing sense of dread rather than a mysterious one.

We (my dog Gnocchi and I) love Tortellini. Cobble Hill pasta dogs hang.

Shoutout to whatever quirk of geology & thermodynamics makes most thunderstorms roll into NYC from the northwest, it just looks so frigging cool from my apartment windows

TIL there used to be an Olympic competition for town planning

Marine Park, Brooklyn got silver in 1936, while the Olympic Park in Berlin got gold, which feels like a conflict of interest pic.twitter.com/2SXK0zQ1EV

making tourists say “I love Williamsburg” while I take their photo is my form of revenge

Eid Mubarak to our Muslim neighbors! A beautiful celebration this morning in Brooklyn.

May your sacrifices & journeys bring peace & prosperity.

This past year, we have learned this truth more than ever: our liberation is bound up together. pic.twitter.com/ZiKczlYVU7
