    Timestamp in UTC

    But for time of day, use local time and store separate column with the timezone name. Don’t use timezone offsets since that doesn’t work with DST. You’re better off with something like America/New_York because God knows what 2030 will look like.

    And if timezone are abolished, or DST, that’s even more reason to store the timezone name.
