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.

Call it that "Mamdani Lisa Smile".
When his subdued condemnation of bomb throwing, "Allahu Akbar!" shouting individuals, who might have KILLED INNOCENT CIVILIANS, is tempered and surpassed by his respect and envy of them.
Sweet relief!
My wife went for a 3D mammogram today, as a precaution, due to some abnormalities found on a previous image. All is well! She is a breast cancer survivor from 19 years ago and we want to keep that going. Breast cancer hit her side of the family hard for about 20 years. Took her baby sister and her aunt, while my wife and her mother were fighting it too. My 96 year old mother in law fought skin cancer, breast cancer, and a hip replacement in her early 80s, while her family went through all of this. Amazing women in my life!
