Sun dogs happen at a specific angle and result in up to three bright spots. There are 4 lights. They are spaced unevenly and far too close together. There is no distortion and there is a cloud in front of the rightmost image. This is a timelapse of four pictures. The “video” is just the still image with motion effects added.

I couldn’t find the exact source, but it looks much more like multiple exposures than anything else. For example, it is entirely the wrong shape, distance, and number to be sun dogs.

What did you find in your search?

Yes, you’d have to be above the Arctic circle. Search “midnight sun timelapse” images, and you’ll find lots of examples. It is not actually a straight line, but moving on a curve. At this level of zoom, the curve is not apparent

I assume you’re joking since the caption says Alaska, but… Alaska (for one).

Is there anyone here who doesn’t think this is obviously a timelapse (of the very cool phenomenon of the sun moving horizontally)?

It has been public for a long time that they have access to your contacts and metadata (who you talk to, how much, when, from where, etc.) That was bad enough. But this is the first time I’ve heard about accessing message content. Really chilling.

Why does evey MEE article include the phrase “according to [insert terrorist organization],” and then presents the information completely uncritically?

Funny that the surveillance state suddenly forgets to surveil when it is the one under the spotlight.

Loops is actually pretty great.

This is truly horrifying. Even more so that the world is watching it happen with precious little protest.

Sometimes I forget how brutal the early 2000s were.

Not sure what it is like in other countries, but you should know that it is extremely RARE in US politics for a former president to speak out against the current president. Even rarer to issue a formal statement.

“If you liked Trump, you might also like Sean Combs and Hitler.”

I had the same reaction! I had to log into the screwy web portal and test it to realize it was something else entirely.

They literally will and are.

If they built out a Mastodon network with government support, then it would.

This has not been voted on to my knowledge. This article is just about the cosigners officially submitting the bill.

Uh, Mastodon exists?

So the people killing women for partially uncovering their hair are the good guys?

The people murdering thousands of protestors are the good guys?

So the religious fundamentalists imposing doctrine at gunpoint are the good guys?

I think the people protesting for their lives and freedoms are the good guys, but that’s just me.
