The Best of Joe Biden: Big Ideas From His Last 3,000 Tweets
Dear Everybody,
I channel the worldviews of interesting people.
I do that by organizing and distilling their tweets into a summary of their big ideas. For my own education, I summarized the timeline of Joe Biden, and it’s helped me to look beyond the headlines.
I believe it’s valuable to channel people of all stripes and persuasions, and in that spirit, I’ll continue to share summaries of writers and thinkers, artists and creators.
