Most depressing thing about this (given I use gmail and haven't noticed any problems) :

As someone living in Australia and mostly using a VPN I don't really know how to parse any of that. I can intuit it, but given ISO 8601, I feel that's somewhat of a cop-out.

For me, it shows 11:16 AM (EST) which was right around the time it happened. So it seems to be showing based on your local time.

Heh - like you, I did a very sneaky immediate edit regarding timezones (I'm on a VPN, you're in EST). Challenges remain.

EST starts on November 6. It’s EDT until then. </pedantry>
