@dbrauer.net yeah the "breaking" tag is the default in this homepage layout, we cannot change it. If we want a lead story presented w a little more heft (like related links and summary text), it will have that tag. Some of us internally have raised it, and told developers don't have time to fix.

For sure. We have to make sure that it’s still legible on mobile and social screens so the day-separation is a bit of a lost cause, I think!
Always love to chat about this stuff with folks, thanks for the feedback!

Interesting idea! I'd be worried about overlap making it hard to see enough detail, but if I smoosh 'em closer, I see what you mean! Doesn't leave much room for labels (and I prefer a direct-label solution over a separate legend generally) but it's a good thought!
