** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
This sudoku is called We're All Mad Here and it is certainly an apt description of the neurons in gdc's brain! The basic idea here is that the grid can be folded such that the middle 5 columns disappear and yet the existing clues still need to work within the leftover 4x9 grid. This dynamic Fog puzzle will make you doubt your own sanity when solving but the revelations are so magnificent that the payoff is absolutely worthwhile!! Please do watch the video introduction if you are unsure about the rules.

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. The grid is covered in fog. Placing a correct digit in a cell lifts fog in that cell and possibly other cells. The vertical dashed lines are folded onto each other so that columns 1, 2, 8 and 9 form a secondary grid (as if the other columns disappear). In this grid all clues are still valid. Digits in a cage don't repeat and sum to the total given in the top-left corner. Cages don't overlap. Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are given. Clues outside the grid give the sum of all cells that contain a digit equal to the distance of that cell from that clue in the row or column. For example, a 4 in Row 2, Column 4 would count towards the 10 clue in row 2, and any other number would not. Horizontal distances in the folded 4x9 grid are limited to 1-4.
If you are unsure about the rules please watch the video introduction and, in particular, check out this link which explains the idea very well:
