We discuss the ramifications. Next, while many are aware of the corrupt and corporate leanings of Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, his wife Gayle happens to have still OTHER corrupting forces that she merrily navigates for her husband's benefit.Then, we review how the EU commissioned a study to "prove" that unauthorized downloads have a negative effect on legitimate sales of various forms of media, only to...2022-03-2558 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 03/18/2022 - DeSantis Versus a Black Congressperson, Daylight Saved? and Why the Secret Service is Worried About IncelsFlorida Governor Ron DeSantis has aims to eliminate a Congressional district in his state that is primarily populated by black people.

Then, we go over the bill that has passed the US Senate, looking to end the madness of changing our clocks twice a year by making Daylight Saving Time a permanent state, beginning November 2023.

Then, I go over how Russia has a particular geographical feature that makes invading Ukraine even more attractive for Putin, along with a few other issues that weren't covered in our conversation with Palast.Finally, a Geothermal startup believes it has the recipe for making cheap renewable energy available almost anywhere on Earth!

We discuss what happened in this gross misuse of political pressure.Next, we talk about how, for white women the right to have an abortion was ruled in favor of medical "privacy", making the legal grounds for it shaky and leaving out...2022-02-2558 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 02/18/2022 - Dave Black Passes, Southwest Megadrought, How PR Has Gaslit Us All on the Environment, Supercomputer Successfully Simulates Entire Universe, MoreDave Black, founder of WSUM here in Madison, Wisconsin, and one of the key people who helped get TMI on the airwaves, has died less than one year after his retirement. While we shall spend most of this episode on other topics, I refused to go further without honoring the passing of this dedicated media visionary. Thank you for humoring me.Then, we talk about the dry facts surrounding the drought the southwest United States has been suffering though, including how it can be considered the worst in recorded history by several measures.

We find out what happened to bring us from the heights of a strong middle class to the point at which very few can truly make ends meet. Then, in a heartwarming turn, thousands of Fin Whales have been spotted together in Antarctic waters - we'll tell you why this is even better than i...2022-02-1158 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 02/04/2022 - Wordle Wants to be Free, Reign of the Space Lords, MoreFrom its origins just a few months ago until now, Wordle has become the simple little online game that took over many people's Facebook newsfeeds and more - just in time for the New York Times to swoop in and buy it from Josh Wardle. Oh, the NYT promises it will remain free... for an introductory period. Mr. Wardle couldn't rightly turn down the money thrown at him, but wonders why we can't just have nice free things? Turns out you can - we explain how.Then, once the domain of governmental achievement, the space race has...2022-02-0458 minTMI with Aldous TylerBEST OF TMI 01/28/2022 - Is It Really Community vs. "Freedom"?, World War III - Your Table is Ready, and There is No Absolute "Time", MoreTHIS IS A REBROADCAST OF TMI FROM 01/21/2022.Society seems pretty well torn in two, and the odd thing about it is that there appears to be mostly a conflict between those who want to focus on building and uplifting community between each other and those who prize, above all else, what they have been TOLD it means to be "free".

Wu of the Atlantic tells us that virologists don't mean what WE mean when they say the Omicron variant of COVID is "milder" - that misunderstanding is leading to a lot of poor public health decisions, letting our guard down around a still-fatal pandemic. Then, we look over Ryan Cooper's piece in the week, entitled "Wisconsin's One-Party Rule is What the GOP Wants Everywhere" and how, despite having a Democratic governor, virtually all policy in the state is under the thumb of the Republicans. Finally we review the findings that 2021 had the hottest ocean temperatures on record...2022-01-1458 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 01/07/2022 - Be Like Betty, 30% Remain Contagious with COVID at Day Five, Stephen Marsh's "Next Civil War", Harrison Ford's “Favorite Animal” is Humanity, MoreBetty White quietly funded the rescue of animals in 2005 during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, not wanting any fame for it, and setting a good example for us all - she knew what mattered to her and then acted on it, as we all should. Also, if you can, follow her example of longevity. Then, we go into how, at 30% remaining contagious with COVID at the fifth day of infection, the new CDC guidelines allow roughly 300,000 infectious people per day back into the workforce. Next, we review Stephen Marsh's book, "The Next Civil War". where he proclaims that it's...2022-01-0758 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 12/31/2021 - GOP Used CRT Used as Distraction in 2021, CDC Sides with Money over Science, the USA is Due for a Rebirth for the Fifth Time, MoreEschewing the ordinary year-in-review, we go over the events of 2021 that are actually worth reviewing. This includes CRT protests being used as a distraction from how the January 6th investigation was not going well for the GOP, how many more people were getting badly affected by the climate crisis, and that there was no room in the debate for helping people out financially - oh no, they wanted you to look away from all of that in order to see them roaring over how "critical race theory teaches our children to hate America".

Then, astrophysicists were pretty dang certain they had a firm grasp on how fast the universe was expanding, until new recalculations show the cosmos spreading apart at a rate previously unheard of.

The wronged parties are taking to the courts for remedy against those damages, and this may be key to finally getting the attention of the oligarchs. Then, Sildenafil, a highly popular medication for keeping certain things alert, seems to be showing an ability to help fight dementia- we go over the swell results.

According to this, it is called "Black Friday" as that is when they are finally "in the black" financially, but that is far from the actual origin of the term.

After all, "climate finance" is the funding put forward to help nations that need assistance to help them become greener, and if it includes (via ambiguity) such things as predatory loans or comes with strings attached, it discourages those we want to ENCOURAGE to adapt. Worse, it gives the loaning countries the expectation that what they "spend" on climate finance will actually come back to them, leaving...2021-11-1258 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 11/05/2021 - The Human Cost of Going Unvaccinated in Colorado, How the "Rough Night" of Election Day 2021 Went, Science News on Condor Parthenogenesis, More!In a scenario that is also playing out elsewhere, Colorado is finding out that the cost of allowing so much ignorance about vaccination among its citizens is its hospitals becoming completely overwhelmed by mostly those who refuse the vaccine. Not only does that harm the benighted patients in the ICU, it also keeps hospitals from being able to admit others who need their services, forcing non-COVID patients to be turned away even from emergency care.Then, we look at the much-exaggerated "rough night" the Democratic Party had on 11/2/2021 - the losses were easily predictable, despite what the...2021-11-0558 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 10/29/2021 - Trump Administration and GOP Congressional Connections to Jan 6th Capitol Attack Confirmed, and how the ACEP Profiteers off of ER VisitsRolling Stone published a blockbuster investigation that directly connects a number of GOP Congresspeople and the Trump Administration itself to the planning of the Capitol Attack of January 6th, 2021 - we go over the report in detail.Then, if you wondered how Emergency Room visits get to be so expensive, a lobbying group called the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) have spent decades now twisting the regulations and then flouting even THOSE to make an illegal profit for the capitalists who back it.

However, those who champion the capitalist nightmare we are in cannot allow (or even fathom) this sharp attack to go unanswered, going to so far as to take the creator's quoted purpose of the series and flatly saying he's wrong. We expose these denials and the mendacious folks behind them, and show you how to detect bad analysis...2021-10-2258 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 10/15/2021 - Defund to Refund the Police, Kaepernick says "Abolish the Prisons", Corvid Consciousness ConfirmedLast year, measures went nationwide to rein in the outlandish spending on municipal law enforcement (much of which embellished them with military-grade hardware). This attempt to slow the militarization of our local police forces, which tended to disproportionately affect black Americans, has since been quickly shuffled back into their budgets this year. We analyze why and what can be done as an alternative.Then, Colin Kaepernick has a publishing company, and its first book discusses the history of the "Abolish the Prisons" movement. and how this idea needs to be re-examined now more than ever.

Why? Oh, we'll tell you, and the answer is to be found in the old classic "Sixteen Tons".Then, COVID-19's path of death has shifted its focus: as more of your centrist-to-leftward population in America has gotten vaccinated versus the conservative side, more US conservatives are finding themselves hospitalized by the "hoax", with no few of them dying...2021-10-0258 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 9/24/2021 - 'I' vs. 'We' in the Fight Against Climate Change, Billionaire Taxation is Key, More than Gabby: Native Women Need More Attention When They Go Missing, News in BriefGlobal Warming's "tipping points" like Fires, Floods, Permafrost Melt, and other catastrophes appear absolutely unstoppable when framed with the oft-asked "what can _I_ do about it?" We show why this is the WRONG framework to use when tackling climate issues. Then, we further go into how (MMT be damned) possibly one of the most KEY parts of solving the crisis is the taxation of the BIllionaire class. Finally, we shed light on how, while it is perfectly good that Gabby Petito got the attention she did when she was "lost", so many more Native women are lost...2021-09-2458 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 09/17/2021 - Delta Breaks Through the NY Times' Bad Statistics, How to Tell the 'Build America Act' Apart From the 'Build Back Better Act'Adding to the long list of publications and sources that MUST be double-checked before reporting from, the New York Times published an article citing bad numbers for the chances of getting a breakthrough COVID infection as if they were valid. According to that, you had a 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 10,000 chance of getting a breakthrough COVID-19 infection if you were already vaccinated, a number that was ludicrously off the day it was published and continues to be more inaccurate as the pandemic rages on.

Because voting by mail DOES have a major flaw, but IN TRUMP'S FAVOR: many, and I mean MANY places have managed to put regulations and shady tricks in place to cause MILLIONS of mailed votes to be discarded by those we've trusted to COUNT them. And whose votes are the most likely to be discarded? College students, black people and low-income...2020-08-0453 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 07/27/2020 - How Trump Stole 2020 with Greg PalastAs the polls go, it looks more and more likely that there's no way Trump could possibly win the next election. However, that might not matter because, with a combination of tricks used in 2016 and brand new avenues that have been opened up since, Trump has already stolen the 2020 election.But don't lose hope! Joining us this episode is Greg Palast, author of "How Trump Stole 2020", and he's not only here to outline how the crime was committed, but how we can steal it back. You'd better listen in (and should probably get the book), if the integrity of your...2020-07-2826 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 07/20/2020 - Triple Topic: Perspective Matters; Billionaire Cannibalism; Status vs. EqualityTonight's episode has three topics for your enjoyment: first up, we expose something you know in a way you've never thought about it before; then at 10:00, we talk about billionaire cannibals; finally at 21:30, we discuss how those of us who fight for equality might help the cause, by lowering resistance to the idea.

What has barely been touched upon are the over 300 instances of retaliation suffered by BLM protestors and others since May 30 - but that stops now. Carl Gibson posted his investigative piece on precisely that to https://carlgibson.substack.com/ this week and he joins us to discuss what's behind...2020-07-1337 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 07/06/2020 - A Tribute to Mimi Soltysik, Modern American Socialist LeaderThis episode of TMI is devoted to a man I first met on Facebook over seven years ago. Co-chair and 2016 Presidential Candidate of the Socialist Party USA, he was a tireless champion of the people, and a seemingly endless resource for modern Socialism. Cancer took him just over a week ago. I felt compelled to pay tribute to a man who, though I never met in person, was the kind of person where that barely affected how much he was able to connect with you. Farewell, Emidio "Mimi" Soltysik. Rest in Peace. Rest in Power.2020-07-0715 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI - Black Lives Matter - 06/29/2020If you find the protests going on confusing, irritating or frightening, you need to listen to this week's episode.

At the very least, this should help you understand what is meant by "Black Lives Matter".2020-07-0134 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI with Aldous Tyler - It's In the Air with Steve Horn - 06/22/2020Making a triumphant return to TMI is friend of the program Steve Horn!
