Just finished Murder in Oregon.

Incredible.

Incredibly frustrating. Oregon has an effed up history... And it's still doing effed up stuff as a result.
 
What murders do they talk about?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Francke

James Michael Francke (/ˈfræŋki/; October 2, 1946 – January 17, 1989) was a New Mexico judge and director of the state's Corrections Department, the governmental bureau which manages prisons, inmates and parolees. He was later appointed by then-Oregon governor Neil Goldschmidt to oversee a plan to double the state's inmate capacity as director of Oregon's Department of Corrections. On January 18, 1989, his body was discovered outside the department's office building in Salem; an autopsy determined he had been murdered the night before. A local petty criminal was eventually tried and convicted for the crime, and sentenced to life in prison without parole. However, the convicted killer maintains his innocence, and several conspiracy theories have been advocated, claiming that the killing was a murder for hire conducted by corrupt state prison officials threatened by an investigation Francke was conducting into prison mismanagement.

The "local petty criminal" they framed was released after decades when a judge ruled that he could not have possibly been the murderer, and said that no jury could possibly convict the man. The state has no case.

The state has appealed his release and is, to this day, trying to get him thrown back in jail.

Highly recommend you listen to the whole thing. There is so much to unpack.

Oh yeah, I've been wanting to get back to you on this.

Such a crazy fucking scandal that went everywhere in the state.

Did you know the prosecutor in the case went on to be the head of the Oregon Lottery? And that he started giving out shit like Rolexes to all the top administrators, stepped down, then Kulongoski made him a circuit court judge.

And the state cop who was assigned to watch Goldschmidt start banging his wife and then went on to be the sheriff of Multnomah county?
 
The Dollop. Highly recommend to anyone that hasn't heard it. Also, they're coming to town in June.

Twice I went down to Dantes on Burnside to listen to Storm Large and ended up sitting with Phil Stanford and buying him drinks while he talked about this case. Great nights!

On episode three of this, and so far it's pretty good. Might switch over to the January 6th Committee hearing though..


What really happened with Andrew Luck?

H6FhtwR0KjEyNbVitJf70xwCerL5GW8gheM6sfDyNyy5Ds_DpK3slmQEtNakt4FA0d3xuSJUOrOwi0pinnLZSjfLdWHf3c6z_lVxUlwU_MqWrH81iK-TRz1QCsLhCUuFjGMavc0UgWMtPUdfgtqlRAy7bNCglR4uD2EKfNkXd-xaVVNZNuMVHmtzONnQHrQJh6jAlX7U7ynJtaPZBjE9XPM=s0-d-e1-ft

Andrew Luck was 29. There were 15 days left before the start of the 2019 NFL season. Luck was coming off a season where the Colts went 10-6, where he was named the AP Comeback Player of the Year, played every game, and — this gets forgotten — he’d been sacked just 18 times, well below his lowest rate for a full season.

And then he was gone. It remains an all-time NFL stunner. And the true story remains, for the most part, a mystery. Luck is still just 32.

A few years later, two dozen teammates, coaches, league executives, friends and rivals helped us fill in the gaps.

I listen to three podcasts regularly:

Decoding the Gurus - Their own summary of the podcast: "An exiled Northern Irish anthropologist and a hitchhiking Australian psychologist take a close look at the contemporary crop of 'secular gurus', iconoclasts, and other exiles from the mainstream, offering their own brands of unique takes and special insights. Join us, as we try to puzzle our way through and talk some smart-sounding smack about the intellectual giants of our age, from Jordan Peterson to Robin DiAngelo. Are they revolutionary thinkers or just grifters with delusions of grandeur?"

Making Sense with Sam Harris - I used to worship Sam Harris when I was younger. Whether I agree with him is very hit and miss nowadays but I still enjoy his perspective on many things.

Very Bad Wizards - Tamler Sommers, a philosophy professor at the University of Houston and David Pizarro, a psychology professor at Cornell University talk about ethics, cognitive science, pop culture, and sometimes briefly touch on "culture war" stuff, though not with much seriousness. My favorite episodes are when they do deep dives into movies, TV shows, books, or short stories.
