  1. The real inconsistency isn't springing forward or falling back-it's that we keep debating time changes while ignoring how policy flip-flops destabilize our circadian rhythms and tank real productivity. Pick a standard time and stay there, or admit we're okay with annual collective jet lag. #timechanges #CircadianRhythms #PolicyMatters

    #FCC Deciding Whether to Allow Startup to Launch Huge #MirrorSatellite to Blast Sunlight on Cities at Nighttime

    "The implications for #wildlife, for all life, are enormous."

    By Frank Landymore
    Published Mar 10, 2026

    Excerpt: "The idea is as far-fetched as it is controversial. But something like it has been attempted before. In 1993, the Russian satellite Znamya, or 'Banner,' deployed a 65-foot-wide sheet of mylar that reflected a beam of light twice as bright as the Moon, illuminating a roughly three mile wide circle onto the Earth below like an orbital spotlight. It didn’t prove to be practical, however, with ground observers noticing no more than a flash of light, and it was exorbitantly expensive to pull off.

    "Even so, it has the potential to massively disrupt the environment and interfere with many human operations. And the far-reaching consequences of such a technology is exposing the limits of the FCC’s remit.

    "Experts fear that light from space mirrors could disrupt circadian rhythms in nature, posing a problem for flora and fauna alike. Animals might breed at the wrong time, and hibernating insects and migrating birds could be confused, Martha Hotz Vitaterna, a research professor of neurobiology at Northwestern University, told the NYT. And plants could bloom when pollinators aren’t active.

    " 'The implications for wildlife, for all life, are enormous,' added Vitaterna, who is co-director of the Center for Sleep and Circadian Biology."

  10. RE: mastodon.social/@theperpetuall

    👁️ Did you know you have specialized eye cells that detect light but bypass your vision entirely? These retinal ganglion cells containing melanopsin send signals straight to your brain's master clock, responding most strongly to blue wavelengths around 480nm, helping synchronize your circadian rhythms with daily light cycles.

    ✍️ The original post in this thread traces how light becomes time through hidden pathways.

  24. This is a really beautiful mix of ambient jazz and techno with some experimental and leftfield sounds by Caro. Also this is the first time my music has been played on Noods Radio (Bristol, UK), so that’s exciting too! Caro played 'Lumina' and that's the first track on my latest album To the Nines.
