  "world_summary": "A waning crescent Moon (about 16% illuminated) sets a muted nocturne, with quiet solar conditions and no notable geomagnetic storms reported. Seismic activity hums along the North Pacific arcs, with mid-4 magnitude earthquakes near Japan, the Kurils, and Alaska, and a felt 3.7 in Montana. Coastal gauges show routine tides: roughly 1.38 m in San Francisco, 0.60 m at New York’s Battery, and 0.18 m in Honolulu. Art chatter online tilts toward festivals, comics, and dark-fiction teasers, while canonical works circulate in feeds alongside contemporary sculpture references. New music releases land across genres today, including titles nodding to wabi-sabi and masquerade themes. Editing activity on Wikipedia remains brisk across lists and categories. Markets sentiment skews risk-averse, with an “Extreme Fear” reading. Major headlines include environmental policy rollbacks and geopolitical posturing, though without immediate market or space-weather impacts.",
  "moment_text": "Cobalt breath hazes off tin-glaze, a cool perfume of porcelain and rain. Silk underfinger whispers like water drawn through a comb, metallic threads catching stray moon-silver and letting it skate away. A chalice-cold gleam settles in the chest, a bright chill that tastes of coin and incense. Neon wisps snag on the night like elastic light, trembling between pulse and hush. Somewhere underfoot, a basalt murmur moves furniture in the marrow, measured and patient. The air is violet at the edges, as if a flower’s last color had dissolved into the hour. Everything feels stitched—carefully, insistently—yet a hairline crack maps its own quiet future.",
