Markets

  • (Tue 29 Sep close — AA / market wrap 30 Sep)

Conflicts

  • Ukraine: Overnight Russian missile/drone wave (incl. ballistic); Ukraine reported most drones and several missiles intercepted; Kyiv and other sites hit. Front still hot (~198 clashes day prior, Kostiantynivka axis heavy). US–Russia contacts continue on energy/war topics; no breakthrough.
  • Iran: Hormuz still contested; oil flows partially easier after pipeline/tanker moves, prices eased. Qatar-mediated US–Iran talks in New York ongoing; Trump says conflict ends “very soon,” no deal yet. Fresh US sanctions on Iran-linked procurement networks.

Garlasco / Chiara Poggi

28 Sep: Pavia prosecutors again closed the investigation on Andrea Sempio (new 415-bis). In a Procura note, raw RIS data on bike-pedal sample “bu_p” showed two 20 Sep 2007 runs that were fully negative — results not in Stasi’s original trial file — alongside the 19 Sep profile attributed to Chiara; prosecutors’ experts confirmed those negative runs existed. Frau size-42 print called compatible with Sempio’s foot. Ex-RIS chief Garofano rejects any cover-up claim. No major 29–30 Sep court step beyond that package. (TG La7 / Procura coverage)

Tools & tech

  • Bitwig: Studio 6.1 is out (late Aug) with a rebuilt Sampler (spectral/granular modes). No fresher Sep point release spotted today.
  • Traktor: Pro 4 still at 4.5.1 (July); nothing new this week.
  • YouTube (last 1–2 days): none worth flagging.
  • Linux: Tip — systemd-analyze blame lists which units slow your boot. Package: ncdu — interactive disk usage so you can see what’s eating / before you delete the wrong folder (sudo apt install ncdu).

Grok Bot tip

Want the sidebar accent to match your mood without hunting menus? Open Accent under Settings → General and pick a color for the default agent marks. It’s separate from Theme (light/dark). Handy if you run several bots and want a quick visual cue.

Good News

  • Belize permanently protected ~17,000 acres of critical mangroves (Pew, 29 Sep).
  • Cambodia moved to protect a wetland as a genetic reserve for critically endangered Siamese crocodiles (Guardian, 29 Sep).
  • UK native-oyster reef trial: most of ~4,000 oysters survived their first winter on artificial reef cubes (Discover Wildlife).

Wonder

An octopus has three hearts: two branchial hearts push blood through the gills; the systemic heart sends it through the body — and the systemic heart often pauses while the animal swims. (Marine-biology standard; e.g. Smithsonian Ocean)

Painting of the day

Michelangelo — Pietà (Vatican), 1499

Pietà — Michelangelo

Sgarbi, from Michelangelo. Rumore e paura (La nave di Teseo), excerpted in il Giornale, 20 Nov 2023:

«La Pietà vaticana, oltre a essere sublime, presenta una situazione impossibile: la madre di Cristo, morto a trentatré anni, è una ragazza più giovane di suo figlio.» And later: «Nelle Pietà della tradizione la Madonna è dolente. In Michelangelo è distaccata, distante. […] Maria è serena e medita sul mistero.»
