I find it slightly ironic that a blog that’s educating (and entertaining) us on time and timezones does not itself mention when its blogposts were published, at least on mobile.
This one appears to have been published in the summer of 2024.

"Summer" in certain parts of the world, at least.
Thanks for the fun and informative blog post!
First off, the author starts off by talking about GMT and goes on to educate the reader how UTC is actually the current standard. Maybe it's just me but I thought this would be common knowledge by now, while the author frames this as some sort of a revelation.
Then there's the jab about The IERS breaking Wikipedia's css which just doesn't seem to happen on the two devices I opened it on, so I assumed that was the case prior to Wikipedia's redesign.
Minor things for sure, and the content itself is pretty timeless (heh).
I'm not sure what you mean, but this sounds wrong. The whole thing about leap second abolishment is to effectively disconnect UTC from UT1, i.e. allow DUT1 to grow unbounded and make UTC a fixed offset of TAI.
