*Yeah, toasters, with a design frisson that mere air-fryers have never managed *I hope the Bsky-people will forgive me for the extra cognitive-dissonance today. Someone in Iran is trying to plug in a toaster this morning; their normal-breakfast-routine, not what it was #everydayweird

*You would think that "the mud of the Thames" would be Britain's most boring and mundane writerly topic, but if you've got enough transformational potency in your verbal mystifications, you can make any everyday thing intensely weird #EverydayWeird #Dunsany sacred-texts.com/neu/dun/adta...

Los Angeles Weird(tm) from today:

- the (probably unhoused) dude on a bicycle with the back wheel normal adult size for the adult size frame, but a thicker, smaller, white kid's bike tire for the front wheel. Seemed to work pretty okay for him, 0 struggle. Just kind of "what the fuck..." to watch go past. 😅😂

- the quite possibly high af dude cheerfully running along with a water bottle, fast food & drink, who paused and asked me for a cigarette and I told him "no, sorry" (I don't smoke). He took off again cheerfully enough and kept trying to yell things back at me, but. I'm deaf. Didn't understand a whit of it. Hope you got a cig eventually, dude.

- the short (maybe my height) dude with this big dog - possibly an Old English Sheepdog in need of a groom? - and *I* might have been the weird one there... I definitely exclaimed, "what a puppy!!" 🤣😅😅
