What a sign of the times we live in.
Elmo, my favorite Sesame Street character from my childhood, asked a question on X, formerly Twitter:
“Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?”
17,000 replies later, he realized he struck a nerve. and, much of it not positive in outlook.
In reply, Elmo’s followup tweet is spot on for his character, and also a message I want to echo to my colleagues on- and offline:
“Wow! Elmo is glad he asked! Elmo learned it is important to ask a friend how they are doing.”
Thanks, Elmo. Let’s check in with each other more often.
