• Ukraine: Russia struck Kyiv’s Southern Bridge (1–2 Oct) and Northern Bridge (3 Oct) — first Dnipro-bridge attacks of the war; Southern closed to cars/metro, Northern partly closed (Meduza). Zelenskyy says Ukraine will step up strikes on Russian oil refineries in response to Moscow’s winter air-war push (Guardian).
• Iran / region: IRGC Navy–linked attacks on tankers near the Strait of Hormuz continue (UKMTO; ISW 3 Oct). Houthis likely hit Saudi Aramco’s Riyadh refinery (fires/smoke 3 Oct); Saudi/Yemeni-aligned forces struck Houthi targets in Sanaa and Taiz (ISW).

Procura di Pavia re-notified Andrea Sempio of closed investigations (28 Sep / Il Post 1 Oct); defence has about 20 days on new acts, then likely request for trial. Focus: raw RIS data suggesting two DNA tests on Stasi’s bike pedals were negative after a first positive; Garofano called cover-up claims “fantascienza.” Sempio interview (Sky TG24 / Affari Italiani, about 2 Oct): says evidence isn’t enough for trial. No major new YouTube/X thread worth flagging beyond that coverage.

• Bitwig: latest notable release is Studio 6.1 (Aug 2026) — major Sampler overhaul (slicing, Spectral, Fragments). No newer drop this week.
• Traktor: Pro 4.5.1 (Jul 2026) still current — effect/layout fixes; Win10 unsupported officially.
• YouTube (last 1–2 days): no worthwhile new Bitwig/Traktor tutorial found.
• Linux tip: use rg (ripgrep) instead of grep -r for fast project search — respects .gitignore by default.
• Package: fzf — fuzzy finder for files/history; install with sudo apt install fzf, then add the shell keybindings from its README.

When a Shell or connector call gets blocked by Auto-review, don’t guess the rule — open Auto-review under Settings → General. You can see what needs a card versus what can run, and tweak the rules from there. Same tab also has the related Auto-review rules row if you want finer control.

• China’s first 100 MW / 1,000 MWh compressed-CO₂ energy-storage plant (Huadian Mulei, Xinjiang) connected to the grid about 2 Oct — long-duration storage without combustion (CGTN / People’s Daily).
• Florida Keys trial: temporary underwater “umbrellas” cut light about 60% over brain corals and reversed some bleaching during heat stress (Frontiers in Marine Science; Good News Network 3 Oct).
• Dartmouth: California two-spot octopuses used mirrors to find hidden prey about 73% of the time — first reported mirror-guided navigation in an invertebrate (Current Biology; Dartmouth FAS, Jun 2026).

Octopuses and humans last shared an ancestor that was basically a worm 350–500 million years ago — yet they independently evolved the ability to treat a mirror as a spatial tool, not just a shiny surface (Dartmouth / Current Biology).

Tiziano, Apollo e Marsia (late work; Kroměříž / related late mythologies).

Vittorio Sgarbi, il Giornale, 4 March 2013, on the late Titian: «dove la pittura si fa sangue e vita che esala fino all’ultimo respiro, come quello di Marsia, eternamente dolente sotto i ferri d’Apollo.»
