Twitter: The Criterion Collection

What if Twitter… came to life?

We asked some of our friends to film their favorite tweets. We didn’t care how they did it. They could read it. They could act it. They could do it with puppets. Whatever they wanted. The only rules were it had to be a tweet written by someone else and it had to contain the entire tweet and nothing but the tweet.

This is what they gave us.

We hope you enjoy it.

Rare Buddhist flower found under nun’s washing machine
The Udumbara flower was found in the home of a Chinese nun in Lushan  Mountain, Jiangxi province, China.
The rare Youtan Poluo or  Udumbara flower, which, according to Buddhist legend, only blooms every  3,000 years,  measures just 1mm in diametre.
Miao Wei, 50, was cleaning when she discovered the cluster of white  flowers under the washing machine.
At first she thought the  barely-there stems were worm eggs, however, the next day she discovered  that the stems had grown 18 white tiny flowers on top and smelled  “fragrant”.
Local temples believe the mini blooms are specimens  of the miraculous Youtan Poluo flower - called “Udumbara” or “Udambara”  in Sanskrit, meaning “an auspicious flower from heaven.”
