Why the fuck do I have “Adobe Flash Player Install Manager.app” in /Applications/Utilities?
@atlauren Uninstall instructions: 1) Secure erase hard drive. 2) Disconnect from Internet forever.

People have asked me recently what my dream job would be. It would be to be @geneweingarten or Erma Bombeck. I don’t think this exists.
@mkramer pretty sure nearly all humorists don’t get columns til 30s or 40s, after period of regular writing. You’re probably on track.
- Melody Kramer:
I have been retweeted by Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I have won Twitter; there is no reason to continue on this medium. #dropsthemike
- Andrew Becker:
@mkramer I once got a RT from @peterframpton. At that moment I knew what it was to “feel like we do.” Enjoy this time.
@ABeckr @mkramer I was quoted on the Vatican’s website. Was surprised neither it nor I burst into flames.
- Melody Kramer:
I’m fairly certain that if Twitter existed when I was in college, I would not have organized mock protests all of the time.
@mkramer I would have paid money to see your protest of Cereality.

This is a fun read about structured data and storytelling. Yes, fun. It’s from @mattwaite:
@erika_owens When I really let my hair down and have a wild evening, I normalize my databases.
- Melody Kramer:
I’ve never been asked to speak at a “Future of Cereal” conference. And yet, that is where my heart truly lies.
@mkramer You’re eating Kix. I think that means you’re solidly in the Leave It To Beaver cereal stage.
“Man Charged w/Obama Assassination Attempt Furious Over Marijuana Laws http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/man-charged-with-obama-assasination-attempt-was-furious-over-marijuana-laws.php … via @TPM” // Guy really needs to mellow out
- Melody Kramer:
I refuse to try any more social media things until there’s just a social media thing called “Larry” for people named Larry.
@mkramer If it’s funded by people in their mid-40s, it’ll be called “Hello, Larry.”
“@acarvin: 712 killed/1,633 wounded, April was Iraq’s bloodiest month since 6/08. Reuters” // “Judged by history” working out great.

Hey @BarackObama you accidentally forgot to see you don’t give a fuck about teen girls when you campaigned. Opps! http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/05/01/obama-administration-plans-to-appeal-plan-b-ruling/ …
@jamiekilstein @barackobama gives a fuck about *jailbait* girls. It’s raped children he doesn’t give a fuck about.
- TJ Luoma:
ARGH. Just yesterday I read about a ¿new? iPhone camera app which could share to a bunch of social sites, plus FTP. Can’t find it now.
@TJLuoma Huh. Never seen that use of ? punctuation before. I like it.
- TJ Luoma:
@jeffporten I find it’s useful for conveying that hint of uncertainty which would be clear in spoken communication. Feel free to use it :-)
- Rob Pegoraro:
Meeting @SideCar CEO @SunilPaul shortly. What would you want me to ask him?
@robpegoraro I’m key non-driving target for @sidecar, but would think 2x before *using* it. How will he work around reluctance?

You are my favorite tweeter. Don’t ever forget that, snookums.
@mkramer I think you misclicked the “direct message” button.
- anna genoese:
This article is pretty interesting, if you can get past what a privileged schmuckola this guy seems to be. http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/1/4279674/im-still-here-back-online-after-a-year-without-the-internet …
@annagenoese @tnielsenhayden I may steal the use of “privileged schmuckola” for use in everyday conversation.
- anna genoese:
@jeffporten @tnielsenhayden schmuckola is one of my favorite words.
- tnielsenhayden:
@annagenoese @jeffporten It’s an excellent word.

I’m really enjoying @mary_roach’s Gulp, which delves into the mysteries of our alimentary canals. But really, don’t read it during meals.
@negrino @mary_roach If you shouldn’t read Gulp during meals, I really want to see the warning for Bonk.
- Tom Negrino:
@jeffporten @mary_roach I had a hilarious & fun conversation with a coffee shop waitress while I was reading Bonk and laughing out loud.
- Dan Moren:
So, ordering a WWDC ticket, renewing a car registration, and buying train tickets in Italy freaks out the fraud protection algorithm.
@dmoren When are you going? Italian trains in summertime can be an adventure.
- Dan Moren:
@jeffporten On Friday.
@dmoren Ah, good timing then. June & August were insane.
