Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-02-20

  • @jennpelly He's one of our favorite characters. When we write our cultural history he will have a place in it. #speedlevitch #wny11 #
  • More for #wny11 on Speed Levitch, from a post we wrote a couple years back: http://ahistoryofnewyork.com/2009/04/wny-speed-levitch/ #
  • The Louisa Alcott one looks like Princess Leia. http://bit.ly/e3hmYD RT @cire_e Our Favorite Writers as Legos. http://tumblr.com/xbo1igg828 #
  • @RobAroundBooks Gee, thanks for that "wonderful"! #
  • @lizarnold That is a serious shame. It would have been a blast to get his take on the whole affair. Glad you got the interview. #empirefilm #
  • Love the photos, but reading Jacob Riis sometimes makes me feel like I'm trapped in a Republican National Convention rally. #wny11 #
  • "Philanthropy we call it sometimes with patronizing airs. Better call it self-defense." — Jacob Riis #wny11 #blech #
  • @nycdlq He's pitching straight for them, though, so they're hardly to blame. Another example TK in a minute. #wny11 #
  • Following the story of a suicidal woman who kills herself rather than turn prostitute, Riis writes: "It is a story …" (cont) #wny11 #
  • …that has many parallels in the experience of every missionary, every police reporter and every family doctor." What abt the poor? #wny11 #
  • The sympathy is entirely w/ those who sit around being sympathetic: I feel so bad for those people who feel so much for the poor. #wny11 #
  • Stephen Crane was hot: http://bit.ly/ik8uVI Makes you wonder if E. White's Hotel de Dream will ever be a film. http://bit.ly/f5H3EZ #wny11 #
  • @RobAroundBooks I try to be unpleasant often, but maybe I'm just not very good at it. #
  • Not enough time in today's #wny11 for everything the material warrants. @jjmorgan101 would have spent much more time reading Riis's photos. #
  • @epicharmus Love the personal turn in today's Built Manhattan post. Also, love Schermerhorn Row. Some reasons why: http://bit.ly/hv2MUk #
  • RT @TheWarholMuseum RT @MuseumModernArt will screen/tweet Warhol film "Empire" on Feb 18 w/ @WNYCculture #empirefilm http://goo.gl/vefnb #
  • New book by @LESHP director Eric Ferrara: ON THE BOWERY: http://onthebowery.org/ #wny11 #
  • @epicharmus No–didn't know that. More fun facts every day. #
  • RT @greenlightbklyn who can resist – a literary quiz about Brooklyn! http://bit.ly/fq7Do5 #
  • @greenlightbklyn Do you know our @CambridgeUP Comp contributor Martha Nadell? She's the queen of BK Lit. http://bit.ly/hjxzYh #
  • The Great Gatsby, the video game: http://greatgatsbygame.com/ (via @brooklynhistory) #
  • Main St. Ephemera's closing sale starts today. Sad news. http://bit.ly/hskGU0 via @jeremoss #
  • Join our own @_waterman & others tomorrow as @MuseumModernArt & @wnycculture tweet Warhol's 8hr "Empire": http://bit.ly/g2viMA #empirefilm #
  • Gearing up for the big #empirefilm tweet-a-thon @MuseumModernArt? Here are posts from the @boweryboys re: ESB: http://bit.ly/h8SOXP #
  • Would love to see #empirefilm trend today. #
  • MT @MuseumModernArt We're getting ready to live-tweet Warhol's 8-hour "Empire." @WNYCculture & @cmonstah kick it off at 10:30! #empirefilm #
  • RT @cire_e 'do, or do not. there is no try'. oh, wait, that's empire strikes back — carry on RT @pwhny: Would love to see #empirefilm trend #
  • Happy Bday to @jerrysaltz. Time's run out on Marclay's Clock, but you'll still enjoy his take: http://bit.ly/gA24OW Reminded him of Whitman. #
  • And happy birthday to @yokoono as well: imagine peace. #
