June 18, 2018 By Radio Iowa Contributor Kidd with Gunner A northeast Iowa boy has amassed a tremendous, international following on Twitter thanks to his simple love for dogs. Nine-year-old Gideon Kidd of Cedar Falls has a website that features photos of himself petting a variety of canines at www.ivepetthatdog.com. It all started when he created a blog when he was seven, with the help of his mom. “I just thought of it and I love dogs and I wanted to show the world these amazing creatures,” Kidd says. At the suggestion of his mom, Kidd started posting pictures of the dogs he met on Twitter instead of just the website, and now, @IvePetThatDog has more than 90,000 followers. Each photo is accompanied by a few sentences about the dogs, just basic questions he’ll ask the owner or caretaker. “For starters, can I pet your dog and what’s his name?” Kidd says. “Then, I ask about the dog, like, where did you get the dog, how old is your dog, what type … [Read more...] about Cedar Falls boy gains 90,000 Twitter followers by petting dogs

Trump vs. Black Twitter: 7 Folks Who 45 Has Tried To Block But Still Speak Truth
Trump has tried to put a lot of people in Twitter jail despite his own profile having previously been on lockdown. The president has blocked several folks, including Black Twitter members, from seeing his tweets, retweeting his words and following him. But a federal judge recently challenged Trump’s Twitter behavior as possibly being unconstitutional, CNBC reported. The question is whether Trump’s Twitter blocking violates the First Amendment free speech rights of the folks that he has blocked, U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald said in a Manhattan federal court on Thursday.

Text your thoughts. There is a lot of disagreement on government, so I think that an open discussion is always in order. Tweet your thoughts, maybe we can all learn something.” Problem was, the video he referenced turned out to be a hoax.

However, the story had already taken on a life of its own. As multiple Twitter users and media outlets pointed out — many … [Read more...] about WSU coach Mike Leach tweets fake Barack Obama video, stirs up a Twitter storm
