Thank you for ten years of listening and smiling with me. Most of my accounts are now suspended. This account is ending intentionally so you can still scroll back and see the old tweets. Picard continues offering advice at botsin.space/@PicardTips Goodbye Twitter. It was fun.

Picard Tips is now posting on 🔵 sky as well.

Picard management tip: Certain crew members are like walking encyclopedias. Remember to ask for their input.

[Author's note: my personal account @JoeSondow has just been suspended without explanation.]

Picard management tip: Don't let a crew member's age blind you to their skill level, in either direction.
