IF YOU WANT TO GET RID OF A COLUMN

At the top of the columns you'll see that they have headers -- My friends, Notifications, etc. You'll also notice that the headers each have a little three-stack slider icon on the right.

Click on that. It will expand to give you more options for the column. Toward the bottom of the options you'll see a little x and the word Unpin. Click on that and the column will disappear.

I generally accept all follow requests UNLESS a) you haven't added a bio or custom avi or b) all your posts are designed to stir outrage. Outrage is good sometimes but not as your only emotional food group.

BEAUTIFUL NEW PEOPLE! Don't forget to post a hello message with the hashtag #introduction or #MeetTheNauts .

I don't follow the CoSo firehose because it's too much, but I follow the #introduction tag and a lot of variants to make sure new CoSonauts get welcomed and feel welcome.

Looking for hashtags to follow / search / post? @realDDGlover has a whole list in several their pinned post. Just click their handle to see their profile / pinned posts! #CoSoHelp #CoSoTips

The ResearchBuzz Firehose has a "world class pettiness" tag. I don't use it often, but every now and again...

There are so many mentions of Twitter in this morning's ResearchBuzz that I felt compelled to apologize about it 😂

Bunch of legal stuff and policy changes (TweetDeck going paid, etc)

#children #education #ADHD #neurodivergence #ReportCards

'As a clinical psychologist who studies how schools can help students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, I know traditional report cards distributed three or four times per year don’t do enough to make a difference for children who are prone to outbursts or other challenging behaviors. Studies conducted by my team and others support the idea that these students are better served by daily report cards.'

#ElonMusk #advertising #Twitter

This seems so stupid and counterintuitive that I'm having trouble unpacking it. It reminds me of when Facebook tried to ram video down everyone's throat and then had to back off and admit video engagement wasn't what they said it was.

'The Delhi High Court has ruled that Google’s Ads Programme falls under the purview of the country’s Trademarks Act, in a major decision that may redefine online advertising’s legal landscape. The decision (PDF), delivered by a division bench of Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice Amit Mahajan last week, observed that Google was an “active participant” in the use of the trademarks of proprietors.'

'In a new paper published in the journal Animals, researchers from the GW Primate Genomics Lab found that dogs with plainer faces—e.g. dogs whose faces are one, solid color or dogs without any facial markings—appear to make more facial movements, or expressions when interacting with their human companions than dogs with more complex facial markings—dogs with multi-colored or patterned faces.'
