How federal agencies have already changed their websites under Trump
“Diversity” has been deleted. “Climate resilience” is now a popular substitute for “climate change.” And “pregnant people” has been replaced by “pregnant women.”

Analysis | No daylight saving time? See how early or late you would be in the dark.
Would you be okay if the sun rose before 4 a.m., or after 10? Not changing clocks is a popular idea, but we’d have to live with the extremes.

see a lot of messaging around subdomains for organizational use but am enamored with the idea of personal use like
photos.erxclau.me
or
alt.erxclau.me
(if private accounts become a thing). feels nicer than doing different accounts on twitter or ig since the root domain persists across accounts
