“Groan” is right.
In case you missed the news, Edward Snowden has joined Twitter:
This was his first tweet:
Can you hear me now?
— Edward Snowden (@Snowden) September 29, 2015
Isn’t that special?
You want to know what’s even more special? Noted astrophysicist and confirmed blowhard Neil deGrasse Tyson is engaging him in a full-blown love-fest.
Opening a conversation with Edward @Snowden, who I recently interviewed on @StarTalkRadio.Geek? Traitor? Hero?

Feeling a Geek vibe. Edward @Snowden, the man behind the global mass surveillance revelations. Welcome to @twitter.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) September 29, 2015
.@neiltyson Thanks for the welcome. And now we've got water on Mars! Do you think they check passports at the border? Asking for a friend.
— Edward Snowden (@Snowden) September 29, 2015
Ed @Snowden, If you visit Mars, I'd bet any life forms there will greet you with a sip of that water — and a tourist visa.

And, Ed @Snowden, glad to see the long exile hasn't affected your sense of humor. Staying busy?
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) September 29, 2015
.@neiltyson Surveillance never sleeps, and secret projects @FreedomofPress are keeping me busy, but I still find time for cat pictures.

Ed @Snowden, many call you Hero, others Traitor. Whatever else you are, you’re a Geek to me. What do you say to those labels?
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) September 29, 2015
.@neiltyson Hero, traitor — I'm just a citizen with a voice. [1/2]
— Edward Snowden (@Snowden) September 29, 2015
Awww, he’s so modest! Neil just loves that about him. Reminds him of himself, no doubt.
.@neiltyson, @DanielEllsberg told me #labels never stopped progress. Neither in 1776 nor today. [2/2] pic.twitter.com/CzRZ6ur6xc

Ed @Snowden, after discussing everything from Chemistry to the Constitution on #StarTalk, you're a patriot to me. Stay safe.

.@neiltyson Stay free.
