Pretty sure General Flynn is sending messages with his background pics. Something I've done for years on various platforms.

He hasn't tweeted in months but he's updated his background twice in a few weeks.

The bottom pic is the current one which was changed in the last day.

The first wave (top pic) was a beast but the rider was staying out front (potential danger but not so much for a seasoned pro). Now the wave is an easy peeling 3 footer (danger pretty much nil).

I suspect things are looking brighter for the General. Soon he'll be hanging ten/chilling.
