It's been annoying listening to podcasters that often question media and reality make assertions that the aurora photos were fakes. Gell-Man Amnesia now makes me question them more.
While the phenomenon itself may not be completely natural (HAARP?) the manner in which it was captured is not mysterious to this photographer who has taken many a long exposure and particularly with astrophotography.
Longer exposures = more saturated colors and tones than seen by the naked eye.
people are often shocked when somebody reports on something they know a lot about, jumping to the conclusion that they are specifically full of shit. experience that phenomenon enough and you realize that journalism is a real job and that pundits whose entire shtick is in mocking them, is a grift. calling it all a conspiracy is next level desperation. they both have their place but most of the time it's basic mistakes by good people and competing worldviews/interests.
@wjmaggos@fletcher Journalism is in my college degree and no it's not a real job anymore, it's just narrative maintenance. Real questions are not allowed.
@wjmaggos@fletcher This one ranks very high on the Glenn Greenwald scale of too long to read dude needs an editor.
"The problem with taking a nihilistic posture towards the MSM is that there’s nothing to replace it with."
Wrong. Go outside. Plant a tree. Look around you and be in the present and where you are. Don't let your reality be defined by someone that only sees liberals and conservatives. You will be much happier and not mislead into putting poison in your body.
of course you respond to a quote that so encapsulates what these podcasts have done to you, telling you there's no good media out there, by saying stop paying attention to the media. yet your OP that I am responding to is not about you visiting with neighbors or smelling the flowers, but listening to podcasts. it's like Adam using social media to announce the start of his podcast where he tells people social media is horrible.
I got blocked by a lefty earlier today for arguing that Georgia today is just like what we did to Ukraine in 2014. he realized his "Russia scary" argument wasn't going to work. the right gives up by mocking and making personal attacks. y'all suck.
