I get the thought, but wouldn't changing it just end up performative?

I think changing the date system from AD/BC to CE/BCE is peak performative, and that's coming from me as an atheist. We still use the same years based on the mistaken belief of when the Christ was born.

Where would we change UTC to be? Best place I could think of is where the current International date line is in the middle of the Pacific but that area is already a clusterfuck of zig zagging not that current UTC 0 is much better. And then, what do we call it? Do we keep UTC because it was a compromise between English and French speakers? Should we go with Mandarin Chinese since that is the most widely spoken language natively in the world? But there is plenty of colonialism within Chinese history of the Han people versus all other Chinese ethnicities and languages. Or English because it is the most widely spoken language when adding first and additionally spoken languages (definitely colonialism there)?

I'd sincerely love to know your thoughts on this. I've pondered it before and couldn't come up with a good change besides using an artificially made language like Esperanto but that comes with a whole host of other issues.

The president could choose to not sign the bill sent by Congress for further funding. Congress might pass it with veto proof majority but it would still be making a statement. So, not exactly true

I planned a trip with my family. 8+ hour drive to Niagara Falls. We had cloud cover for all but 15 seconds of the 3 minutes and 20 seconds of full eclipse. Still an enjoyable trip because we spent a long weekend there but the clouds really did fuck me over on the main event.

This is what the full eclipse that I drove 8+ hours to see in Niagara Falls was like. Was a little disappointing but the sky did clear for about 15 seconds of the full eclipse (which was like 3 minutes 20 seconds in total for that area).

Bookmarking is great- I never use them again though!
