It is both well known and obscure (depending on your age) that Bob Crane (Col. Hogan) was murdered in 1978. Likely due to his vast array of filmed and photographed sexual encounters. We look at the murder in context of changing landscape of sex and masculinity in US!

Thanks for all these comments, and YES, we talk about a lot of these things in our episode on Dixon, and more! Please help us get this finished!
I'll post some more teasers on Dixon next week when the Kickstarter launches. And also on Clary and Crane. The stories here are legion.

Habeas corpus actions are the ancient common law writ used to create a legal action to sue for freedom. They were crucial in the early-nineteenth-century efforts to challenge slavery.

Congresswoman Uses Simple Math To Show How Broken ICE Is
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

not to mention that the "greeks winning" depends on your time horizon, and whether you count those barbarian Macedonians as Greek or not.

All the rhetoric was about "illegals," not following the law. All of the actual practice doesn't care about illegality. Only whiteness.
