Corrected links that were broken (mostly 404's, some 410's), either by finding the new link through a quick Google search (usually for medium blogs that have moved) or with a web archive link (for more important resources, like HHS's poverty guidelines).
Had to remove links that didn't have a clear replacement (a Mass Legal Services pdf that wasn't moved elsewhere on the side).
To reproduce
Found all of the broken links by running linkinator like this:
As a result, didn't check if any LinkedIn or GitHub links were broken (can't do that automatically, will have to do it manually).
Also had to ignore doi.org URLs, and then had to manually check all of the ones that broke, sometimes 403s were just stopping robots from scraping, but work fine through the browser normally.
