Our story today on how Musk is funding Facebook ads impersonating Harris to outrage voters with false claims — and why Meta is ok with that, collecting $600k and counting to target the ads to swing-state voters under a fictitious name. https://t.co/p4MtOUqWH2 w/ @TrishaThadani

A blitz of Facebook ads by what poses as a pro-Harris group, but is secretly a front for a pro-Trump dark money group funded by Elon Musk to misrepresent Harris's views to swing-state voters, does not appear to violate Meta's ad transparency policies.

This comet has not been easy to spot from Ottawa due to low-lying clouds in recent evenings. It was completely obscured shortly after I took this iPhone shot. 📱💫

I love this one! 👏
Tonight I managed to catch Comet C/2023 A3. I struggled to find it for ages, starting to look half an hour after sunset - but eventually found it. Half an hour later it was visible by eye clearly, including the huge tail. Sony A7R2, Voigtlander 110mm 2.5 APO, ISO 640, 2.5s
