I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Site's getting hammered because of this but: web.archive.org/web/*/https:... Of course we saved it.

For folks coming to this thread later, I've gone ahead and made a CSV of hundreds of energysaver articles that are gone as of July 2026. archive.org/download/ene... is a direct link to the list. archive.org/details/ener... is the CSV and the HTML.

Not one single page on energy saving relating to air conditioning.

My thoughts these days. I have to compare to Europe etc. where there is greater respect for environmental impacts. What will they do when they run out of resources?

I caught them last year—there was a report by our OSCE mission in January 2017, right after his first inauguration, about a fresh Russian offensive in Ukraine at Avdiivka, which they finally deleted this year realizing it debunked his lies that Russia never attacked Ukraine during his first term

I keep wondering what is supposed to go in the Trump library, since it's clear they are going to burn everything.

Is there a process for asking a page to be removed from the Wayback Machine archive? Can people operating some government's Memory Hole invoke this removal process? (There's probably someplace I could go read up on this.)
