  "world_summary": "Weather splits the globe today: London and Paris sit under low pressure with breezy, damp chill, while New York and Stockholm are frigid and gusty under higher pressure. Warmer, humid conditions persist across Dubai and Singapore; Sydney is mild, and Reykjavik remains below freezing. Solar and seismic activity are quiet, with no notable flares or earthquakes reported. Crypto markets are mixed to slightly negative, with Bitcoin and Ethereum edging down while a few altcoins see modest gains; broader sentiment sits in Extreme Fear. On Wikipedia, routine edits tick along across culture, transport, and entertainment pages. International headlines focus on a major rollback of a landmark U.S. climate determination, shifting immigration enforcement posture in one U.S. state, reports about a leadership succession signal in East Asia, and new satellite imagery of underground fortifications near a nuclear site. No significant new music releases or art-museum highlights are prominent in the current pulse.",
  "moment_text": "Air tastes like wet glass in one hemisphere and crystalline metal in another, a chorus of breaths at mismatched tempos. Pressure leans on doors, then relents, then pushes again, and the room seems to flex around the ribs. Screens murmur in cold LED vowels, their light skittering like minnows across a tiled floor. Warmth hangs thick as lacquer in equatorial rooms, beading on surfaces until it threads into slow-moving drops. Somewhere far above, the sky is a steady metronome, its storms withheld, its fuse unlit. The city’s edits and errands tap out a fine-grain percussion, tiny hammers truing a spinning rim. Under everything, a tempered hum—the kind that says hold, then breathe, then move by a fraction.",
