On this rainy Saturday evening, I've found 8 TikToks for your delectation. Let me know what you like.

1. A nice time-lapse of mural painting.

2. And our flag was still there.

3. He embodies healthy habits.

4. When you need a prosthetic eye, do you get something that matches your working eye?

5. The cool kids may belong back in the office, but for this guy, it's an anxiety hellscape.

6. Dad talks about mountain properties.

7. The joy Dad feels when he gets to tell the same joke he always tells.

8. Dressing for the occasion.

Another one of those 'working from home is better' weirdos. Learn to code!

I enjoyed:

#1 - the building looks completely rejuvenated with the mural. I think I counted 9 days that it took to complete. I wonder how mural artists establish the painted images in the correct perspective over such a large surface area.

#2 - the force of nature here is terrifying, yet so awesome to see. The ubiquitousness of video cameras is allowing us to see events that used to only be seen on rare occasions.

That tornado was something! Yikes. I figured that white vehicle in the lower left was a goner for sure.

Although it doesn’t match her other eye, it matches her nose rings.

Can manatees see color?

That tornado was impressive. I'm also assuming that was a relatively small tornado given it wasn't tearing up asphalt, tossing cars around, and demolishing buildings. Makes me not want to see a real big tornado.

6. This shit is genius level.

Not to sound grim but was the prosthetic eye clip chosen because Salman Rushdie, who is apparently off the ventilator and speaking now, is suspected to lose one of his eyes?

If you look closely you will see that the lift is really one arm of an etch-a-sketch.

flag, cool

Saint Croix म्हणाले...

American flag in the tornado is an awesome metaphor for where our country is right now.

Awful tornado.

Flag makes it out okay.

Saint Croix म्हणाले...

oh say does that star spangled banner
yet wave
over the land of the free
and the home of the brave

Are mid-2000's hipsters coming back already? Maybe I'll check out Bike Snob NYC's blog again for the first time in a decade. He should be on top of that.

Unless TikTok was serving it up because of SR, it was just by chance that I saw it and I picked it according to my usual method. I did think about SR's possible eye loss and considered whether I should reject it because of that.

This beautiful young woman lost an eye — to cancer — when she was a little girl. And after years of disguising it, she's doing something highly conspicuous. I love that. Plus it's beautiful work by the ocularist.

Nancy म्हणाले...

I loved the joy of the girl with the prosthetic eye, the Dad-joker, and the woman in the swimming pool.

The healthy habits guy got my attention, but it wasn't his song, it was that he played right-handed but did other stuff (writing, drawing, brushing his teeth) left-handed. It wasn't my favorite, but it was the one that most got my attention.

Leslie Graves म्हणाले...

I don't think it would be possible to have a better TikTok than the Dad joke one.

Old and slow म्हणाले...

I have always thought it would be cool to have multiple distinctive glass eyes (if I were missing an sye, that is...)

1 - but maybe I am inordinately fond of timelapse in general.
4 - Didn't Charles Dance do this in Last Action Hero?
