You see before you *Mark Chen, PhD*.
Above his head appears a label that changes every time you look at it
between "*Hoodie-Wearing Games Scholar Thug*," "*PT Lecturer at UW
Bothell*," and
"*President of the United States, purveyor of alternative facts*."
Do you send him a tweet (*@mcdanger* <http://twitter.com/mcdanger>), check
out his website (*markdangerchen.net* <http://markdangerchen.net/>), or
respond to this email?
He looks at you expectantly with a smile.
