The behavior of the code does not quite match my intuition, though.

It is sensible to omit the seconds; I do not really care about that
level of precision for an event that happened two weeks ago in a
different continent.
But lack of TZ does not give me enough hint about which content it
happened. The fact that this was done late at night on weekend is
indeed interesting, and I may not care what time it locally was for
me, so perhaps this is an intended behaviour.
