Large inflections in my life. Pre and post Seinfeld. Pre and post kids. Pre and post Padel.

Wonder if people would be better prepared for the real world if high schools cut back on algebra and doubled down on statistics.

I love coffee so much I bought a mountain bike

@Magda_Wierzycka If enough of your employees are interested in EVs we can offer a charging station at your offices as a test site, and a test drive of the Model X - the blend between a sensible SUV and a sports car!

@benedictevans Classic. Don't worry though I'm sure a couple of sequels are being lined up.

[Rick Basson @RBassCT]

@nicns Definitely, give us a few months.

@billburr Hey Bill how about a shout out to Brad Binder's win in his 3rd race and to all the South African fans!

[Rick Basson @RBassCT]

This is epic

[Front Office Sports @FOS]

For $20, fans of German soccer club Borussia can have a cut-out of themselves placed in the stands at BORUSSIA-PARK.

According to the club, over 12,000 cut-outs have been ordered and 4,500 have already been put in place.

The Bundesliga starts on 9 May. Move over Taiwanese baseball! Empty stadiums going to be weird - although not for South African used to watching Super Rugby

[Rick Basson @RBassCT]

The Last Dance is epic - Jordan was one seriously driven individual along with the talent. Also can’t believe Pippen was only 122nd highest paid in the league. #LastDance

[Rick Basson @RBassCT]

So apparently Taiwanese baseball is the only televised live sport so I’m seriously considering getting in to that

[Rick Basson @RBassCT]

@roblith Yes I saw that amazon had hired 100k workers during this crisis

I cannot understand why e-commerce businesses cannot operate safely in the lockdown as in other countries. If it's to support fair competition will government close physical stores if Seacom goes down?

[Rick Basson @RBassCT]

@nicns Red Notice is a great shout. Will check that out! There needs to be an updated Everything Store as that just felt like the prequel

[Rick Basson @RBassCT]

Any good business book recommendations out there?

[Rick Basson @RBassCT]

Total life hack especially during lockdown is to google interesting foreign language films - watched a good one last night - Contratiempo / The Invisible Guest. Had us gripped from the start.

[Rick Basson @RBassCT]

@nicns Haha norms if it’s anything like fountainhead it’s probably best not to read this in lockdown

[Jack Ma @JackMa]

Africa can be one step ahead of the coronavirus. To each of the 54 African countries, we will donate 20,000 test kits, 100,000 masks and 1,000 medical use protective suits and face shields. Thank you @PMEthiopia @AbiyAhmedAli for your support.
