Fifty year old spoiler; holding up quite well.

@DSauce That jacket must be something special. 😂😂😂

[Girl in the Corner @GirlintheCorner]

@CobaltAzurean You should buy yourself a coffee instead. 😂

I’ve been on Twitter since the 1970s and I just discovered something to do with screenshots and sharing and stuff.

@limewire @CultureCrave I’m gonna unfollow you so I can get the joy of following you again.

[Girl in the Corner @GirlintheCorner]

@JBONAMASSA Has @OfficialJackson weighed in yet?

[Girl in the Corner @GirlintheCorner]

@CobaltAzurean Reporting this post. Not sure what but it violates something.

@scott_colom @cindyhydesmith @TyPinkins Wear waders if you end up winning, sir; I hear it is pretty swampy ground in DC. Good luck. Please remain the moderate, honest, decent family man I suspect you to be. And most of all: put America and Mississippi first, no matter what.

[Girl in the Corner @GirlintheCorner]

This should be stunningly uninteresting. @cindyhydesmith and @scott_colom and @TyPinkins — I’m a registered MS voter. Why should I vote for you next month? I’m an extreme moderate Gen X mom.

[Girl in the Corner @GirlintheCorner]

@scott_colom @cindyhydesmith @TyPinkins You replied. You now have my full attention. That was the most important part. Thank you; I will listen. I may have questions and I’ll research those before tagging you on a tweet. I appreciate you taking the time.

We have to say “Mississippi” after each number

There's a saying on American social media:

"Be the American that Japanese people think you are."

I'm Japanese. I've lived in Tokyo my whole life.

So let me tell you what we actually say about you, when you're not in the room.

"When someone falls down on the street, we pretend not to see. We're protecting their pride. Americans run straight at them. They don't care about the pride. They care about the knee." (Office worker, 38)

"An American will stop four lanes of traffic for a family of ducks. And then everyone in the cars claps for the ducks." (Taxi driver, 61)

"If you lend an American a pen, you will never see it again. If you need a kidney, they'll ask your blood type." (Nurse, 45)

"At kids' soccer games, they cheer when the other team's kid scores. The other team's parents look confused. Then they cheer too." (Youth soccer coach, 52, lived one year in Ohio)

"A man sneezed on a bus in Chicago. Eleven strangers said 'Bless you.' He said 'thank you' eleven times. Nobody on that bus thought this was strange." (University student, 21)

"At an airport in Texas, I watched a soldier try to pay for his lunch. The cashier said someone already had. He asked who. She said, 'Somebody who didn't want you to know.'" (Retired teacher, 70)

"American fathers cannot braid hair. But they will watch a video at midnight for an hour so their daughter's hair looks right on picture day." (Hair stylist, 33)

"I ran the Chicago Marathon once. Strangers stood in the cold for hours holding signs for people they will never meet. At mile 20, a man I'd never seen read the name off my bib and screamed it like he'd raised me." (Runner, 48)

"When Americans get lost, they ask a stranger. If the stranger is also lost, they become a team." (Tour guide, 39)

"They ask the waitress her name. And then they remember it." (Restaurant owner, 66)

And one more. From my father. He's 76. He doesn't say much about anything. This is the longest thing I have ever heard him say about another country.

"Every time something terrible happens in America, I watch the news, and I look for one thing.

The people running toward it.

There are always so many."

So, America.

You don't have to become the Americans we think you are.

We're not imagining you.

We're remembering you.

@ETNRockhound @JenX77X @SaveJxn @redbaronpizza But we discovered a good source of pot stickers. Filter the noise; find the signal. This is all signal.

@DSauce @JamieSetter @facthavoc @mattgaetz @grok @SalemMediaGrp I’m just exploring pros and cons of Botox 😶. I’ll just stop laughing to prevent further damage I guess. 🤐

[Girl in the Corner @GirlintheCorner]

@facthavoc @DSauce @mattgaetz @grok @SalemMediaGrp The laugh lines stay then. Oh well. I will load up on hyaluronic acid serum or something.

[Girl in the Corner @GirlintheCorner]

@SaveStandard What if we just declare that the sun at the top of the sky is noon, which we can all agree on, and go from there? 😉🤓

[Girl in the Corner @GirlintheCorner]

@DSauce @mattgaetz @grok @SalemMediaGrp So I should not Botox my laugh lines? I’m stuck just getting old the old fashioned way I guess…

[Girl in the Corner @GirlintheCorner]

@maricla12676882 @JenX77X @SaveJxn @redbaronpizza What? I’m hungry and the leftovers in the fridge ain’t speaking to me like wontons are! 🤷🏻‍♀️😜😆

[Girl in the Corner @GirlintheCorner]

@JenX77X @SaveJxn @redbaronpizza Are these any good? They look kinda good.

@IRS_MEDIC @realDonaldTrump If your dream job is being a tax collector, you are the toxin! Braid the whip and let the tables flip!

@Chairman_DN Preach. Idgaf how you treat a ceo. How do you treat the guy cleaning the toilet? Tells me everything I need to know about character. 🙌🙌

@thestoicplumber It’s their moment if they take it.
