  "world_summary": "Global headlines emphasize a major U.S. climate policy reversal, with a landmark finding on greenhouse gases reportedly revoked and follow-on analysis describing the move as a significant rollback. Separate reports note an end to a recent immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota. Regional security coverage includes claims from Seoul that North Korea has designated a teenage heir, and satellite imagery indicating fortified underground construction near an Iranian nuclear site. Archaeology news circulates about long-submerged remains from the Lighthouse of Alexandria re-emerging after roughly 1,600 years. Crypto markets are mixed-to-soft with bitcoin and several large-cap tokens slightly down, while a fear-and-greed index sits at Extreme Fear (9). Live seismic and solar indicators are quiet, and available tide and weather signals are minimal or not reported. Wikipedia edit activity remains steady across varied topics, from airships to sports rosters.",
  "moment_text": "The air feels paused, like a held breath in a vast atrium, cool at the edges and salted at the tongue. Surfaces show a bloom of dried spray and pearly crust, as if something old just shrugged off its sleeping ocean. Metal ribs hum at a low frequency, a tensile sigh threading through fabric that remembers wind. A pendulum of cold shine swings through lavender air, sweating bright droplets that sizzle into silence before they touch anything. Small neon bones blink in the fog, shy but insistent, mapping paths you didn’t know you were already walking. Thin waves lap the floor in silk folds, barely moving yet whispering weight. Somewhere under all of it, a seed clicks open with a silver tremor, heat seeking a way out through the frost.",
