Please ignore my next few tweets as I am shilling for raffle p prizes.

Jeff’s tech tips: an HTC One used as a mobile broadband tether doubles as an excellent tit warmer.

• David Chartier:
  What if Snowden just masked his online presence, donned a mustache, and is hanging out in a coffee shop across from the White House.

@chartier That’s the Starbucks at 16th & K. I’ll check.

• Daniel Jalkut:
  Serious question for US history buffs: has a fugitive from US justice ever been as popular among US citizens as Edward Snowden is?

@danielpunkass Derringer, or any of the Wild West outlaws in the fictionalized dime novels.

“We get more done before 8 AM than you do all day” really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Headline that sounds scary as hell, but isn’t: “Massive coronal hole in the sun” http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/sunearth/news/gallery/20130618-coronalhole.html ?

.@glennf‘s tweets are exceptionally distracterrific today. Just glanced at the clock and where-did-the-last-two-hours-go?

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jeffporten My superpower. Kids are Pokemon battling at game store. I also wrote 15 articles and 10,000 lines of code.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  This Pokemon trader is very kind to the kids. Gives away cards, explains things patiently. It is pretty lovely. (No, no predator vibe.)

• Greg Minton:
  @GlennF It?s depressing that it?s necessary to say ?No, no predator vibe? about someone who?s just nice to kids.

@GlennF And I tweeted that too damned quickly, as I’m *still* reading stuff you linked me to. “19 mins” more, according to Twitter….

@gregminton In @glennf‘s defense, he’s been having a predator-rich day on Twitter today.

• Greg Minton:
  @jeffporten Oh, I wasn?t criticizing @GlennF. Just making a cultural observation.

@gregminton Didn’t think you were. But after reading about misogyny @glennf‘s linked me to today, I’m suspicious of humanity too right now.

Just realized that the guy sitting next to me is both the first Glass and Chromebook Pixel I’ve seen in the wild. At Starbucks, of course.

• Casey Malone:
  @GlennF Hey, thank you so much for making the point about even with context, he’s still advocating sexual assault.

@CaseyMalone @GlennF Pretty sure the assault phase starts with the verbal negging behaviors.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jeffporten @CaseyMalone What I learned? Sexual assault covers what is known as battery in general terms.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  ?When you are the privileged party, you do not get any say as to how you are labelled for your actions?. Powerful.

@GlennF Don’t see how “get no say” is better than “judge on merits” in each case.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jeffporten PRIVILEGE

@GlennF Sure, being in majority group means you have to listen when your beliefs are challenged…

@GlennF …but I’ve met too many people (I agree with otherwise) who say I *must* be sexist/racist because I’m w/m. …

@GlennF … I’ll listen to an argument. But it’s an *argument*. Not an assertion that can’t be questioned.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  Seattlites: Fremont parade + Rock and Roll Marathon (w/heightened security) = stay in your houses! Or walk.

• Jamelle Bouie:
  Wow, PAX Australia essentially has a panel devoted to celebrating white nerd resentment. http://d.pr/q1tC 

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jbouie The more you see people whine about how society?s greater embrace is a form of exclusion, the more you know that?s happening.

@GlennF Hmm. My day to argue w/you, it seems. “Frat boy culture” ? “nonconsent is cool”. At least, not at mine.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jeffporten There are frats not devoted to date rate, it is true.

@GlennF No argument that my org engages in many antisocial behaviors. Would prefer folks didn’t lump rape amongst them.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jeffporten See also: statistics. In general, Greek culture (not every frat, not every campus) has this problem.

• Jamelle Bouie:
  @GlennF Perhaps. That?s what I think on my more optimistic days, at least.

@GlennF Mine’s the oldest in North America, so I don’t consider myself a part of the “Greek” system?nor know much about it.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jeffporten There you go! You won before even playing.

@GlennF But I think you could have made the point without opening this can of worms. No argument: PUAs are sociopaths.

• Anil Dash:
  @jbouie @GlennF I believe it. That we can even have this conversation shows the progress that’s been made.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @anildash @jbouie I try to remain acutely aware of my position on the privilege pyramid, at the apex of color, gender, money, country.

@GlennF You’ve seen @scalzi‘s post, right? SWM is Easy setting: http://whatever.scalzi.com/2012/05/15/straight-white-male-the-lowest-difficulty-setting-there-is/ ?

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jeffporten Yup!

@PhilipMichaels @lexfri Children shouldn’t have butter because it’s a known gateway foodstuff to the whole schmear.

?@theloop: AOL has a Google Reader alternative – http://loopu.in/186ldy4 ? // But plays “You’ve got feed!” every time a new article arrives.

• Jim Dalrymple:
  @jeffporten LOL

• Jeanette Hofmann:
  Incredible: 850,000 NSA employees and US private contractors with top secret clearance had access to GCHQ databases.

@bendrath Hey, it’s cool. We Americans, we’re trustworthy. (Coming to CFP next week?)

• Ralf Bendrath:
  @jeffporten No, not this year. :-(
