Giuseppe "Pino" Pinelli (1928 - 1969) was an Italian railroad worker and anarchist who fell to his death on this day in 1969 while being detained by Italian police. His death became the subject of the play "Accidental Death of an Anarchist" by Dario Fo.
Pinelli was a member of the Milan-based anarchist association named "Ponte della Ghisolfa", and was also the secretary of the Italian branch of the Anarchist Black Cross. He organized young anarchists in the "Gioventu Libertaria" (Libertarian Youth) in 1962 and helped found the "Sacco and Vanzetti anarchist association" in 1965.
A few days before Pinelli's death, Italian fascists from the "Ordine Nuovo" orchestrated a bombing campaign in Milan; one bomb in Piazza Fontana killed 17 people and injured 88. The bombing was blamed on Italian anarchists, and Pinelli was detained along with many other leftists, including Pietro Valpreda, who was falsely convicted and served eighteen years in prison.
Just before midnight on December 15th, 1969, Pinelli fell to his death from a fourth floor window of the Milan police station. Three police officers interrogating Pinelli, including Commissioner Luigi Calabresi, were put under investigation in 1971 for his death, but legal proceedings concluded it was due to accidental causes.
Calabresi was later gunned down at his home in 1972, for which left-wing journalist Adriano Sofri was convicted in 1997.

props to the Lower Decks writers for, after being told they're not getting any more seasons, deciding to destroy the cannon universe on their way out the door.
I liked it but was bummed the 2 episodes before the finale didn't have the main cast at the same time. Lower Decks could have gone onfor another 5 years easy
I feel like they had to rush Tendi being off the ship. With how the last season ended, I kinda figured that story arc was originally gonna last longer so she and T'Lyn weren't competing for the same position in episodes.
At least we got a Mariner and a Boimler is this one.
Lower Decks has so much more life in it, the only thing that would prevent unlimited Lower Decks in my mind is that our faves are quickly approaching being bridge crew themselves.
Also this ten half hour episode season shit sucks and makes five seasons of LD barely more actual runtime than one season of TNG era Trek.
to be fair, animation has a much higher production cost than live-action actors mostly re-using the same sets and costuming week after week
Canon and continuity were meant to shift and it's like they've become fixed only to enforce IP laws.
Klingons always looked this way, you just couldn't see it before
I completely agree. If they had been as ramrod devoted to established cannon then as we are now, TNG never would have happened. It was a major departure from a lot of what TOS established.
