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.

I’m not asking you, I’m telling you.

Take a moment and listen to this 81 second response from Victor Glover after being asked if he had any thoughts leading up to Easter.

I don’t quite think it can be overstated how perfect this crew is for the job.

[Sue Sato @SubaDo_]

@LGHendersonUtah Thank you Lt Gov for your steadfast management of our elections in Utah. You are a hero in the fight to have fair elections

[Sue Sato @SubaDo_]

@josh_furlong Thank you Josh! Counting on you to keep us updated

[Sue Sato @SubaDo_]

@jaydhart Spot on!!! Been attending games for several decades and the game day experience is non existent.

[Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur]

President Trump, Jan 20: “I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America. Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents.”

[Sue Sato @SubaDo_]

@SenJohnCurtis Unbelievably disappointed in you and your vote! Senator Lee has already sold his soul to Trump but I had hope that you would be different.

[Sue Sato @SubaDo_]

@squeakyysteph87 You are a great example of what all fans should be. I love to see your positive posts about our Utes

[Sue Sato @SubaDo_]

@SenJohnCurtis Thank you for standing up for Ukraine. Courage is doing what is right not just rubber stamping a President that doesn’t share beliefs in democracy and freedom

[Morag Mitchell @MoragMitchell3]

I just read this on Facebook:

Someone asked "Why do many British people not like Donald Trump?"

Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:

I’m walking through the Capitol this morning and took some photos in the same spots as what we saw 4 years ago

[Daron Acemoglu @DAcemogluMIT]

I and twenty-two other Nobel economists signed a letter endorsing Kamala Harris for President.

We believe Harris's policies will result in a stronger economic performance, with economic growth that is more robust, more sustainable, and more equitable.

NYT tweeted this to its 55 million followers and it has under 500 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “John Kelly, Donald Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, said Trump met the definition of a fascist and would try to govern like a dictator if elected”

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

I said I would do this one more time before Election Day, so here we go...

I will donate to @KamalaHarris and downballot Democrats $.10 for every like on this tweet, $0.50 for every retweet, and $1 for every follow.

P.S. I will cut you folks off... eventually 😎

[The Utah Coalition @TheUteCoalition]

Couple of thoughts here:

1. It's obvious to see that Whitt has finally given in to the backlash from the fans and media on the "keep it close to the vest" situation with Cam's injury. I hope he realizes that he did Cam a massive disservice over the last two years.

2. I think the pressure from point number 1 lead to Cam doing everything he could to stay in the game. He tried the team first mentality over the last few weeks and was torched for it from our fans. He clearly wasn't ready.

3. In no way should this effect the way the fans view Cam Rising. He is a warrior. He gave everything for this University. He brought this program two conference championships and two rose bowl births. You will never take that away from him.

4. It's clear that Utah's offense was built around one player. It's on Andy Ludwig now to get his act together. The coaching staff has been out coached by the opposition and by themselves throughout the last few weeks. Open up the playbook for hells sake.

Also, I know most of the fanbase probably feels this way, but this season is far from over.

[DKeaton @dkeaton024]

The legislature is making fools out of Utah voters by deliberately lying on their ballots to them. The power in the state belongs with the people of Utah, no matter the affiliation. The most important bubble on our ballots this November. Vote no on Amendment D.
