excellent piece on social media and your thoughts

if you're into meditation, you'll probably enjoy this piece a lot.
if you're not into it, or you plan on responding below in a way that suggests you didn't read the article -- you'll appear somewhat as proof of what the article contends. but even if you don't meditate or even spend time on social media, you'll completely understand the weird physical feeling you get from a disturbing thought (a remembrance of a past embarrassment, for example), and the similar feeling you get when you are hit with a tweet (or whatever) that irks you.

the analogy fits: the feelings arising from thinking a troubling thought are almost no different than the feelings arising from reading an upsetting tweet.
the conclusion is to operate social media the same way you monitor your own thoughts - which is to examine what the thought might actually be, and then disarm and discard it. which is what one does often in meditation.

‘Gavin Newsom vetoes raise for state firefighters, just months after devastating LA inferno’ - NY Post

‘Greasy Gavin Incinerates More Support’

Wisdom from my brother:

In case you didn't know about this I wanted to pass something along.

When politicians are shown on screen, they show their names and what kind of people they are.

Those who are dick-heads have the letter D shown behind their names.
The ones who are righteous have the letter R behind their names.

This works on almost all of the networks.
