On this episode, Aldous goes over the results of the 2024 Election and where we go from here. Then he takes a special look at the proposals of RFK Jr for how he intends to “improve” our public health systems, and finally we celebrate retaining Tammy Baldwin as the Senior Senator for the State of Wisconsin.

OpenAI can’t just rely on ChatGPT subscriptions to pay for everything, so they have other professional offerings, like their “Whisper” AI-powered transcription app. The problem is, like other AI Large Language Modeled apps, Whisper has an alarming amount of “hallucinations” – phrases or sentences it just randomly adds without regard to what it was actually supposed to be transcribing. When applied to medical transcription, or interlanguage interpretation, these too-frequent errors become hazardous.
Then, we look at Paraquat (frequently marketed in the USA as Gramoxone) and the fact that despite being banned in many nations around the world – including the nation that MAKES the most of it – it is still used widely in the USA and Australia. Legal challenges are coming down the pike due to mounting evidence of Paraquat causing Parkinson’s, despite the assurances of the manufacturers that there’s no proof.
Finally, we look at the Washington Post and LA Times’ sudden reversal of planned endorsements of the Harris/Walz ticket. They wouldn’t go so far as to endorse Trump, but clearly they are terrified of what he might do to them if he wins.

In a different turn for TMI, we invite creator JV Altharas, the force behind new multi-modal fantasy world Realm of Aeodar. He tells us how, inspired by the completionism Tolkien aimed to have, his plan enacts an immersive literary world via not just stories, but also music, cooking, and so much more. JV has a full, inclusive vision to share and we introduce you to it here.
Next, we show how being laser-focused on political polls is counterproductive, especially when you count for the margin of error almost always being a sever underestimation – we talk about how it got to this point. Finally, we go to the State of New York, which is taking steps to hold Big Oil accountable for the deceit and harm caused by their actions.

On TMI for October 18, 2024, we start off by going over a recent summary Bernie Sanders made of the political progress that we’ve seen here in the United States by examining the differences in the Democratic Party platforms from 2012 and 2024. A span of just twelve years provides truly encouraging contrasts that get lost sometimes when you are just fighting day after day to make things better.
Next we give you two “best of” segments, as Aldous’ voice just wasn’t having it for the time being. Of those, we first dive into how GOP Congressional Representatives listen to their Big Oil donors, calling the Climate Crisis a “false emergency” despite the hue and cry of their very constituents as they suffer from supercharged hurricanes. Finally, we go over two scientific breakthroughs: one on EV battery recycling, and one on discovering the chemical bindings of memory in the human brain.

TMI 10/11/2024 – Florida Reps Call Climate a “False Emergency” in National Legislation, Norman Stockwell on Vigilantes Inc. at the Barrymore, Why Wild Weather Conspiracies Don’t Hold Up, more
On today’s episode, we expose the GOP Congressional Representatives who ignore the needs of their constituents at the request of their Big Oil donors, calling the Climate Crisis a “false emergency” in legislation to try and prevent the President from acting to help curb the worst of it. Greg Steube and Byron Donalds represent the gulf coast of Florida from Tampa south through Cape Coral – some of the hardest hit communities by Hurricane Milton – this shows just how murderous political corruption can get.
Then, we replay the interview with Norman Stockwell of The Progressive Magazine from last week, talking about how Greg Palast’s “Vigilantes Inc.” is coming to Madison, Wisconsin’s own Barrymore Theater on Thursday, October 17th!We go over how this is a can’t-miss opportunity to see Palast’s investigations team bust the most brazen, racist attack on voting rights yet, with a Q&A session afterward WITH Greg Palast live and in-person, facilitated by your host, Aldous Tyler! This is the event you need to be at if you care about YOUR vote being counted.
Finally, we check in with actual SCIENTISTS on why hurricanes are simply not possible to control directly, even looking at the failed historic attempts to do exactly that. All this and more on TMI for Friday, October 11, 2024 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

Then, on this episode we go over how climatologist James Hansen and his colleagues are making the case that we may be severely underestimating and misunderstanding a key component of the Climate Crisis: “aerosols” or rather dust, soot and water vapor, and how they have complicating roles in predicting just how bad things can get – including predicting where “climate havens” are. After all, Asheville, NC was considered one until last week when Hurricane Helene destroyed that notion.
