Markets

Fed hiked 25 bp yesterday (first in 3+ years) to 3.75–4.00%; Chair Warsh flagged sticky inflation and the median year-end path points to about 4.1% — markets priced more tightening.
Wall Street closed lower into that: Dow −631 (~−1.2%) to about 51,462, S&P 500 −0.44% to about 7,552, Nasdaq basically flat at about 25,978. 10-year yield back above 5%.
Asia opened firmer this morning (Nikkei +about 0.5%, Nasdaq futures up); oil eased about 1% as Saudi East-West pipeline repair hopes cooled Hormuz-scare premium (Brent ~$105, WTI ~$101–102).

Conflicts

Ukraine: overnight Russian strikes hit Kyiv and Odesa (dozens injured across reports); Ukraine says drone forces killed Maj Gen Anton Grunis days after a Hero of Russia award tied to a disputed Kostiantynivka “victory.” US House advanced a broad Russia sanctions package.
Iran: Trump says the US is “hopefully toward the end” and claims direct contact with Tehran; Iran’s FM Araghchi called China talks useful and backed Xi’s peace proposals. Hormuz/Red Sea shipping strain and Houthi–Saudi fighting still the energy overhang; Trump expected to meet Gulf leaders at UNGA next week.

Garlasco / Chiara Poggi

Clock is on: Procura di Pavia faces the 28 Sep deadline on the Andrea Sempio file (rinvio a giudizio, archiviazione, or proroga). Still contested: DNA under Chiara’s nails, imprint 33, shoe traces, and the Vigevano parking receipt. Stasi’s final conviction stands; any revision would be a separate track. No new court ruling overnight — just the countdown and the DNA/alibi fight in the press.

Tools & tech

Bitwig & Traktor: no new release today (Bitwig 6.1 Sampler refresh is still the recent big one from late Aug). No worthwhile new YouTube tutorials in the last ~1–2 days.
Linux: (a) Before a chunky apt upgrade, snapshot with Timeshift so you can roll back if a desktop/session breaks. (b) Packages: ncdu (interactive disk map — find what’s eating the SSD), btop (cleaner live process/CPU/RAM view than classic top).

Grok Bot tip

Tip: Routines (including this paper) fire in your local timezone. After travel or a DST quirk, if Lollo Times lands at a weird hour, check Timezone under Settings → General and set Europe/Rome (or wherever you actually are). One fix, schedules line up again.

Marco Aurelio

Per prima cosa non turbarti: tutto, infatti, è secondo la natura dell’universo e tra breve non sarai più nessuno, in nessun luogo, come Adriano, come Augusto. Poi concentra il tuo sguardo sulla cosa in sé e, ricordando che devi essere un uomo virtuoso e che cosa esige la natura dell’uomo, fallo senza voltarti indietro e parla nel modo che ti sembra più giusto: ma con benevolenza, con discrezione, e senza ipocrisia.
Marco Aurelio, Pensieri, Libro VIII, 5
