Celeb Tweets

  • David Spade (@DavidSpade): Is the Nick Jonas wedding winding down yet?
  • Joseph Gordon-Levitt (@hitRECordJoe): People probably don’t say this that much anymore, but when you hear “back in a jiffy” it’s referring to an actual measurement of time. Jiffy = 1/100th of a second.
  • Erik Solheim (@ErikSolheim): The e-waste we generate globally every year weighs as much as 125,000 jumbo jets. Most is just thrown away. It’s a health hazard. If we start reusing and recycling, it can create $62 billion of value. Time for a circular economy!
