Everything, everywhere, all at once: The “entropy bagel,” a glowing fractal ring in the complex plane, is just one example of how even the simplest rules can lead to surprisingly complex structure.

Currently we're watching an unwitting coalition of political enemies ("center-right AI safety ppl" 🤝 "leftist AI skeptics") enable trillions of dollars of economic concentration+lockout while simultaneously squandering opportunities for steering around ethical aspects (environmental, privacy, etc).

"Many GSFC employees are still concerned that the imminent removal and possible disposal of materials are in direct contradiction to the instructions in a Congressional Joint Exploratory Statement which directs NASA to preserve technical and scientific capabilities."

Sleep and Biological Rhythms Small shifts in diurnal rhythms are associated with an increase in suicide: The effect of daylight saving Michael BERK, Seetal DODD, Karen HALLAM, Lesley BERK, John GLEESON, Margaret HENRY 21 February 2008 Abstract Large disruptions of chronobiological rhythms are documented as destabilizing individuals with bipolar disorder; however, the impact of small phase altering events is unclear. Australian suicide data from 1971 to 2001 were assessed to determine the impact on the number of suicides of a 1-h time shift due to daylight saving. The results confirm that male suicide rates rise in the weeks following the commencement of daylight saving, compared to the weeks following the return to eastern standard time and for the rest of the year.
“Suicides rise following commencement of Daylight Saving Time, compared to the return to Standard Time.”

This year reminds me of my days as an 11 year-old playing civilization 2 for hours on end. Except there's no save button in this version of the game, and the soundtrack is much less soothing.
