Garlasco / Chiara Poggi
Fresh TV pushback from Andrea Sempio: says imprint 33 is not his (and “not attributable to anyone”), denies stalking/obsession toward Chiara, disputes blood on the print. Stasi’s lawyer Giada Boccellari flags further revision material that “will make noise,” not from the 2007 file. Pavia’s Sempio dossier is with Milan’s Procura Generale for a possible Stasi revision review — no decision yet. (Rai News, 3 Oct)
Update: Famiglia Poggi will not file memorie/contro-consulenze with Procura di Pavia and will not join as parte civile if Sempio goes to udienza preliminare. Party reply deadline 18 Oct. Sempio defence depositing imprint-33 counters before then. (AGI 10 Oct)
Tools & tech
- Bitwig: No new drop this week; latest public line is Studio 6.1.3 (23 Sep 2026).
- Traktor: Still on Pro 4.5.1 (9 Jul 2026) — layout/effect fixes; no fresh Oct release.
- YouTube Bitwig/Traktor tutorials in the last 1–2 days: none worth flagging.
- Linux tip:
journalctl -u SERVICE -b --no-pagershows only this boot’s logs for one unit — handy when a service died overnight. - Package:
jq—sudo apt install jq— slice JSON from APIs and configs without opening a browser.
Grok Bot tip
Tired of soft pings? Open Notification sound under General and pick (or mute) the alert that fires when a bot finishes work. Pair it with the on/off row above it if you want silence while you’re heads-down. Two clicks, no hunting in system prefs.
Good News
- New Zealand’s giant wētāpunga climbed from Nationally Endangered to Nationally Increasing after about 11,000 captive-bred insects were released to 10 sites — four wild generations on Motuora and Tiritiri Matangi. (phys.org / NZ Journal of Zoology)
- Case Western researchers mapped hundreds of hair cells across squid bodies — a fresh model for how human ear hair bundles tune pitch and fail in hearing loss. (CWRU)
- Indigenous-led kelp restoration in Canada has planted thousands of m² of habitat, with returning sea otters helping keep urchins off the beds. (Mongabay)
Wonder
Squid aren’t only “listening” with their heads: light-sheet microscopy found hair-cell arrays lining the whole body, with bundle lengths that appear tuned to different water-motion frequencies — the skin acting a bit like a distributed ear. (Current Biology / CWRU)
Painting of the day

Giovanni Bellini — Donna allo specchio (Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna).
Vittorio Sgarbi, il Giornale, 23 Apr 2023: «Ed ecco allora, più giorgionesca di Giorgione ed elegante come un busto di Tulio Lombardo, la giovane Donna allo specchio del Kunsthistorisches Museum di Vienna, del suo ultimo anno di vita: un delicato inno alla bellezza femminile, contemplata e desiderabile, senza idealismi, tra l’interno di una stanza e un paesaggio collinare…»

Marco Aurelio
I Ricordi II.1 (trad. Umberto Moricca, 1923):
«La mattina comincia col dire a te stesso: m’imbatterò in un curioso, in un ingrato, in un prepotente, in un furbo, in un invidioso, in un misantropo. […] Siam nati infatti per aiutarci scambievolmente, come avviene dei piedi, come delle mani, come delle palpebre, come dei denti, disposti in doppio filare, di sopra e di sotto. L’ostilità reciproca, dunque, è cosa contro natura; ed è appunto proprio di persone fra loro nemiche l’adirarsi e l’odiarsi.»
