Retired crayon muncher and just like that, Bob’s your uncle. I don’t always whoop, but when I do, there it is.

Tap, tap, tap… Testing 1, 2, 3… Is this thing on? By way of a quick intro, I’m Dot, a retired Marine and now full-time enjoyer of all the little things. I am a wannabe amateur picture taker of random places and people, promoter of beautiful things and defender of the all stuff worth fighting for.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Never mind, it looks like Wink’s adjustment was to tell the D not to tackle on a 3rd and 30.

TaterDdot @taterddot.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, yes he is. Looking forward to seeing what he adjusts.

She made her way over a mile to a place she knew she’d be safe, never having taken that exact route to daycare before. 🐕

Note: This is a great reminder to always keep your dogs secure in the car! 🐶

Oh yeah, those are yum. But I haven’t found a good instant noodle with that peanut flavor. I had some in Japan, but that was ages ago. If you have a brand to recommend, please let me know! I would be forever in your debt.

Dan dan noodles?

Yeah, I don’t think they’ll let those go through customs if my memory serves me correctly. But our annual ritual is to eat so much Taiwan cuisine during the 5 months we’re there every year, that we’re craving something else when we return, haha

Yeah, no doubt that Taiwan has the best instant noodles 🍜

Nice! Hopefully they bring back some goodies for you, like pineapple cake.

My wife and I are super excited about returning next month. Can’t wait to dive into some dumplings and beef noodle soup!

Mr. President. Stop breaking the law.

The shutdown does not give you the right to fire thousands of hard working federal employees.

Instead of giving huge tax breaks to your billionaire friends, show some respect for the struggling working families of our country.

Thank you for being true, Mina. You’ll probably scoff at that, but in this day and age, it’s rare. Too many journalists hide in the corner instead of stepping up when they are needed most.
