As most of you know, I’m fairly active on Twitter – both before Elon and after Elon.

Despite there being a lot of junk on the platform, it’s still a great way to spread positivity and share messages that people need to hear.

We really try to make the world a little bit better. Gandhi said to “be the change you want to see in the world” and so we try to provide positive insights to help you and those around you.

“Bill Russell was the greatest champion in all of team sports.” (Adam Silver, NBA Commissioner)
