The Russo-Ukrainian War. It’s really interesting! I found a social science scholar on YouTube that makes videos using academic knowledge to explain things, including politics and military interventions. I can’t stop watching videos.

Next on my list is learning how to sing with my terrible voice.

Edit: oh, and this song: https://youtu.be/s_nc1IVoMxc

I hyperfixated on the war for about two months when it started, but I was putting more and more of my energy into disputing Russia apologia in the communities I was active until it reached an unhealthy degree. It is an interesting topic, but unfortunately the context and the way I approached it kinda ruined it for me.

I’m (binge-)watching Star Trek. It is my way to destress and to cope with uncertainty since I was a child. It’s the only constant in my life and as an autistic person I’m really gratefull for such. Normally I would just watch one episode after work just like I watched one episode after school when I was a child. It helps me to relax.

At the moment I’m watching TNG (The Next Generation), which is what was running on TV after school when I was a kid. Inbetween TNG episodes I watched SNW (Strange New Worlds) as well as DIS (Discovery). Before that I watched PIC (Picard) season 3 as recommended by a friend.

When I was a kid I loved TOS (The Original Series) most, later followed by VOY (Voyager). Nowadays my favourite is SNW. Most of the series I like(d) instantly. To DIS however I just came back after quitting at season 2 when watching the first time.

Bicycles and playing bass. I also started collecting CDs a few years ago and that one is still going strong.

At the moment my executive function seems to be on summer break, but prior to that I had been designing a bird feeder in Fusion360. I usually find CAD to be a great way to shut out the world.

Letters, essays, books, what ever still exists from them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christiaan_Huygens I find it unlikely that your search did not give any results.
