• Ukraine: Russia hit Kyiv Dnipro bridges with Shahed-type drones; Southern/Paton closed, Metro Bridge partial — city gridlock. Zelenskyy called for tighter sanctions on foreign components in Russian weapons. Strikes also reported in Kherson, Kharkiv, Kramatorsk, Sumy. (Al Jazeera / AFP / Reuters, 2 Oct)
• Iran / region: Active US–Israel–Iran war context continues; Al Jazeera live (3 Oct) notes intensified fighting in Yemen (Saudi coalition intercepts missiles; hundreds reported killed/injured among Houthi fighters per Yemeni forces claims) and related spillover into southern Saudi Arabia.

Fresh: Andrea Sempio on Quarto Grado (2 Oct) after the second close of Pavia’s preliminary investigation — «Non mi sembra ci siano argomenti tali da arrivare a un vero e proprio processo…» Contests bloody shoe print “compatibility” (says he wore 44 then and now) and imprint 33 (no blood on the wall trace). Still believes Alberto Stasi’s conviction was founded. ANSA / La Stampa. No separate court ruling today.

• Bitwig: Studio 6.1 (Sampler overhaul) is current; Bitwig was at beatcon Berlin 2–3 Oct demoing the new Sampler with u-he. No newer numbered release today.
• Traktor: Latest noted public line is Pro 4.5.1 (Jul 2026 fixes); no fresh release in the last day or two.
• YouTube (last 1–2 days): No solid Bitwig/Traktor tutorial with a verified Oct 1–2 publish date found — skip.
• Linux tip: findmnt — shows what’s mounted where (useful when a USB or bind mount vanishes). Package: btop (sudo apt install btop) — cleaner live CPU/RAM/disk/network than classic top.

Timezone trips people up when calendars or routines look “wrong.” Open Timezone under Settings → General and set Europe/Rome (or wherever you actually are). Routines and calendar displays follow that zone; if an agent’s times feel off by an hour, check this row first.

• Physicists entangled a levitated glass nanosphere’s motion with traveling light at room temperature (University of Florence / Science; ScienceAlert 1–2 Oct) — step toward mechanical quantum links without full cryogenics.
• Prussian-blue scaffold in perovskite solar cells hit 26.9% efficiency (26.2% certified) and held up in large submodules (Science / IHEP, late Sep 2026).

Octopuses alternate quiet sleep with short “active sleep” bouts (about 1 min, about hourly) where skin patterns flash and brain activity looks wake-like — they may have a REM-like stage (Nature 2023, Pophale et al.).

Giotto — Natività, Cappella degli Scrovegni, Padova.

Vittorio Sgarbi (il Giornale, 24 Dec 2022): «Giotto, come nessuno prima di lui, esprime affetti e delicatezza umana… Nel ritmo perfetto della composizione ci colpisce la verità delle emozioni, la cura.»

propitious — favorable; suggesting a good chance of success. The clear afternoon looked propitious for tennis. A propitious start does not guarantee the finish.

jízdenka (YEEZ-den-kah) — ticket (transport). Kde koupím jízdenku? zastávka (ZA-sta:f-kah) — stop (bus/tram). Vystoupím na další zastávce.
