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.

Greg was talking about the weird things that Gus does last evening on The Five. I thought I’d share the weirdest thing that our dog does. Jack is 100+ pounds of the sweetest mutt you will ever meet. He is also a very picky eater. At mealtime, my husband and I have to sit on either side of him while I hand feed him from his bowl. He will sit and wait for my husband to join us before he will eat. I guess that he likes to have family meal time. He’s a funny guy!
