The long-delayed halo car has faced years of postponements since its 2017 debut, with reservations and ambiguity about when production will actually begin, even as teasers hint at futuristic thrust capabilities.

Maya Lindstrom A SpaceX flying demo sounds impressive but Tesla should prove they can deliver the road version first before hyping extras.

Messi Set for Argentina Farewell Against Benin — 3dLionel Messi has retired from international football as of August 31, 2026, but Argentina’s FA plans a three-match home farewell in late September and early October against Bolivia, Burkina Faso and Benin, with coach Lionel Scaloni reportedly aiming to include him in the squad for these games and possibly feature him in an Oct. 6 farewell on home soil.

Derek Foss I hope they let him start and score in that October match instead of just a quick sub appearance.

The meetings precede the RBI’s October 5–7, 2026 MPC policy review, following India’s 7.8% Q1 GDP growth and a kept repo rate of 5.25% in August.

ECB Officials Back October Hike as RBA Faces Split Bank Forecasts — Sep 10, 2026Australian markets may face further tightening as Citi predicts two 25bp RBA hikes in 2026, lifting the cash rate to 4.85% and highlighting inflation, a tight labor market and housing costs as key risks. European Central Bank officials continue to signal further tightening with a potential move as soon as October as inflation remains above target, with decisions described as meeting-by-meeting and data-dependent.

Tom Gallagher Citi's forecast for two RBA hikes seems reasonable with the tight labor market still pushing up wages.

Across opinion pieces, commentators question his durability and judgment ahead of the Oct. 27 elections, citing alleged warnings from regional partners and the influence of media narratives on perceptions of Israel’s leadership.

OPEC+ holds October output steady as Iran war disrupts oil flows — Sep 5, 2026OPEC+ members kept October production quotas unchanged amid ongoing Iran conflict and Hormuz disruptions, while signaling future quota framework and a 2027 baseline as they contend with limited ability to translate increases into actual output. Despite September increases, overall output remains well below targets due to capacity issues and geopolitical tensions, with next core meeting scheduled for October 4.

Rachel Meyers Holding steady makes sense when you can't even hit current targets, let alone increase them with Hormuz tensions this high.

BlackRock funds declare monthly dividends yielding up to 13.2 percent — Sep 10, 2026BlackRock’s funds announced new monthly dividends: BGY will pay 0.0426 per share and yield about 8.8%, BGR 0.0973 per share with roughly 6.6% yield, BLW 0.1132 per share yielding about 11.0%, and BGT 0.1203 per share with an approximate 13.2% yield, with ex-dividend dates set for October 15 and distribution on October 30. Separately, a Form 3 indicates Azam Zeshan Raza, a portfolio manager, is a reporting insider for BGY, but no transactions or holdings were reported for him.

Sam Okafor Yields that high often signal bigger risks like NAV erosion over time, so I'd research the holdings first.

Netanyahu and allied voices have pushed back by attributing the report to Dahlan and by stressing multiple prior warnings and meetings, as the controversy deepens political tensions ahead of Israel’s elections.

Tom Gallagher Brookfield's offer at a premium looks decent for RWC shareholders but the long timeline to close could bring risks.

The move intensifies competition on the Melbourne–Denpasar corridor as the airline expands its Australian network and taps into Bali’s ongoing popularity for Australian holidaymakers.

Derek Foss More competition on the Melbourne Bali route should help keep fares reasonable for regular holidaymakers.

Separately, U.S. courts have ordered North Korea and Iran to pay about $487 million to American victims of terrorism, and another ruling holds North Korea liable for 650 billion won in damages related to Hamas's October 7 attacks.

Sam Okafor Tying North Korea to the Hamas attacks in a damages ruling feels like an attempt to isolate them further over October 7.

Jared Kim A revolving credit facility on top of an IPO tells me they're hedging hard against any valuation pullback. Smart or a red flag, not sure yet.
