Federally, they’ve purged all non-nincompoops so running on hot air. State level can be more competent but in some states there have been scandals where a lot of people resigned, so that stresses all who remain.

“Even though the chain of custody for this evidence has some … gaps in it, we are profressionals so you trust it overall”


Key thing about the FBI was that is was run by a fairly openly (for the time) gay man for majority of its existence, specifically during this time when the dynamics were being entrenched.
Not about hating homosexuality, it’s about control and power. Creating a premise on which to blackmail people not out of vigilance against intrusion, but so they could weild over others. Sex of any sort is OK as long as in reinforces hireachy.


Somebody said “free Palestine”


I was just going to add a picture of Laika

on the way I stumbled upon Some Unknown Pages of the Living Organisms’ First Orbital Flight a short writing presented by D C Malashenkov about his recollections of the Sputnik 2 project at 2002 Second World Space Congress.
1954 during the meeting in the Academy of Sciences of USSR, the basic research problems conducted by means of artificial satellites of the Earth were determined.
…
The successful launch of the Earth’s first artificial satellite [Sputnik 1] in October 4, 1957 has made stunning influence on all the world. To continue this success, N. Khrushzev in October 10 1957 stated to launch the second satellite with an animal onboard till November 7 (40 years of October Revolution). The level of complexity of forthcoming tasks was much higher. Tightness of a cabin and the systems of life-support of the satellite should provide considerably large duration of flight under previous dimensions and power consumption. The research equipment should also ensure long uninterrupted registration of the scientific data and their transfer on ground stations. At last, the realization of additional training and special preparation of dogs was required.
In 1954 they make a To Do List. By 1957 it is a Done List. Then it is decided to do Sputnik 2 (with Laika) 1 month later. While they had been doing work to build up to sending animals up, it was not expected so soon. They had to do all the training, testing, and engineering in 1 month!
You can read what they did in the link. Apparently this is considered definitive regarding the manner of her death, as previously there were different accounts.

A hearing in Luigi Mangione ’s state murder case in the killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was postponed until Wednesday after prosecutors failed to inform his jailors that he was needed in court.
Judge Gregory Carro had scheduled the hearing for Tuesday but adjourned it about a half-hour after it was supposed to start when Assistant District Attorney Joel Seidemann told him that prosecutors had failed to send required paperwork to the jail.
“It’s on us,” Seidemann said. “We got the writ signed but we failed to serve it.”
“That’s unfortunate,” Carro replied.
Seidemann noted that the judge in Mangione’s federal case, Margaret Garnett, had sent an order to the jail authorizing him to wear a suit to court, but the prosecutor acknowledged that alone wasn’t enough to get him brought to court
