SnarkyBob: "I said that the photo of the near-empty [Atlanta rally] venue was taken four and a half hours before the event [2:22 PM], per the time stamp."
Apparently the timestamp on a twitter post, that one sees while viewing the post on his or her own personal device, is based on the time zone that is set on that personal device, be it computer or phone.
If you change the time zone that is set on your device and then reload the twitter post in question, the timestamp on the twitter post will change also.
I went to the Bad Hombre twitter post shown at #1961 with my device time set to Eastern time zone, for Atlanta where the rally was held, and the timestamp on the post was 4:22 PM - July 30, 2024.
Then I changed the time zone on my device to Mountain time zone, two hours difference, reloaded the post, and it showed a timestamp of 2:22 PM
Thus, the screenshot of Bad Hombre's twitter post at our reply #1961 was done from a device that was set to Mountain time, and the photo shown of the Atlanta venue (Eastern time) must have been taken some time before, or no later than, 4:22 PM Eastern Daylight Time when the post was made.
*Note: when I make a post at twitter, its timestamp matches the time that is set on my device. I hope my research will be helpful to all y'all in the future.

interesting...thanks for doing the work on that.
It looks like @ FR, regardless when the post was made from anywhere, I see it in my time zone time.
