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.

Speaking of commercials the Republicans should run.

Traditionally 70% of Jews vote Democrat.

For the love of God(Yahweh)...Why?

They hate you. Fucking Jessica can claim they hate the Zionists...not the "Jews", but she is putting lopstick on a pig. And at some point, but when push comes to shove they will kill you if you don't agree to kill yourself(or convert to Islam).

Republicans, make some commercials with some clips showing how Democrats and Social Democrats hate the Jews. Show the research on why they wouldn't pick Josh Shapiro to be VP. Show clips of Hamas dancing in the streets celebrating dead babies and raped female Jews. Tell them to abandon the party which hates you and join the Republicans. It's time
