Markets

Wall Street bounced Thursday: S&P 500 +1.14% to 7,637.74, Nasdaq +1.69% to 26,418.30, Dow +0.62% to 51,779.85 — best day in about six weeks, tech-led after oil and yields eased.
Fed’s first hike since 2023 (25 bp to 3.75%–4.00%, unanimous) is digesting; futures price about 53% odds of another October hike. 10-year Treasury slipped back under 5% (about 4.93%).
Brent settled ~$104.82 (−1%) on repair hopes for Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline; still well above summer levels amid Hormuz/Iran shipping risk.

Conflicts

Ukraine: Russia kept daylight missile/drone strikes on Kyiv and other cities; one dead near Korosten (Zhytomyr), market fire in Zaporizhzhia, overnight barrage injured 19+ including children. Ukraine claims hits on a Yaroslavl refinery, Rostov airfield, and a Caspian oil rig; Moscow airports briefly disrupted. Zelenskyy: US-led talks still stuck on Donetsk territory and Zaporizhzhia NPP. ISW: Ukraine’s Operation Vivaldi north of Lyman continues to blunt Russia’s northern pincer toward the Fortress Belt.
Iran: Trump told Axios he is nearing a “big decision” on whether to resume large-scale strikes. IRGC claims it struck and stopped Togo-flagged tanker Trend in the Strait of Hormuz for “illegal passage.” Israel’s Katz: campaign still has “important goals”; Netanyahu says regime change remains the aim. China (Wang Yi) pressing Washington and Tehran for restraint and Hormuz reopening.

Garlasco / Chiara Poggi

Clock is on 28 Sep: Pavia prosecutors’ preliminary-investigation deadline on Andrea Sempio (sole suspect in the reopened thread). Defense held a Rome summit (around 16–17 Sep) to prep memorie on DNA under Chiara’s nails, trace/impronta 33, and shoeprint compatibility — Cataliotti says they expect no proroga and will be ready after discovery. Sempio remains presumed innocent; Stasi’s final conviction still stands (revision request pending with Milan procura generale). No new YouTube drop of note in the last day or two; X chatter tracks the same DNA / imprint 33 / 28 Sep fork.

Tools & tech

Bitwig & Traktor: No fresh release, and nothing clearly new on YouTube in the last ~1–2 days. Older Hawtin hybrid Traktor+Bitwig pieces still circulating; no new tutorial worth flagging this morning.
Linux: After a weird boot or a failed update, run journalctl -b -p err — errors and worse since this boot only, no scrolling forever. Package worth knowing: eza (sudo apt install eza) — a modern ls with colors, icons, and sensible tree/git views out of the box; try eza -la --git.

Grok Bot tip

Tip: Want the sidebar less beige? Open Accent under Settings → General and pick a color so agent rows and chips match your taste. Theme (light/dark/system) is separate; accent is just the highlight. Takes two clicks, no restart.

Marco Aurelio

Raccogliti in te stesso. Il principio razionale che ti dirige è per natura autosufficiente, quando agisce secondo giustizia, e proprio nell’agire così trova pace.

Cancella la rappresentazione. Ferma i fili che muovono la marionetta. Circoscrivi l’istante presente del tempo. Prendi cognizione di ciò che avviene a te o ad altri. Separa e suddividi l’oggetto in fattore causale e fattore materiale. Pensa all’ora estrema. Lascia l’errore di quell’uomo lì dove l’errore è sorto.
Marco Aurelio, Pensieri, Libro VII, 28–29
