   Reminder that words can have multiple meanings.

   For example “weird” can mean “off-putting/uncanny/disgusting/strange in a bad way” or it can mean “interesting/wonderful/idiosyncratic in a good way”.

     @thomasfuchs Are there “Trump is just plain weird” bumper stickers yet? I think people can usually distinguish the two meanings based on context.

     @bk1e People can obviously discern the two meanings from context though I do have some doubts about some people on Mastodon
