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.

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, 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.

TMI 09/20/2024 – Greg Palast’s “Vigilantes Inc.” Exposes How YOUR Vote Has Been Stolen, How Disney/Pixar’s Blockbuster Inside Out 2 Robbed Their Unionless Animators, more
On TMI for Friday, 9/20/2024, Greg Palast tells us how his investigations team has busted the most brazen, racist attack on voting rights yet. We’re introduced to a terrible new threat to the right to vote: “Vigilante” challenges by self-appointed vote-fraud hunters – not government officials – who are targeting well over ONE MILLION young voters and voters of color to block the counting of their ballots. They tested the operation out last time in Georgia. The Trump-sponsored group “True the Vote” has gone from 88 vote-challenging vigilantes in 2020 to over 40,000 “volunteers” for 2024 in 43 states! Greg Palast has made this ESSENTIAL documentary free to stream at GregPalast.com – it’s worth watching and sharing if you care about voting.
Then, when you think about Pixar and the wonderful library of entertainment they have created, you don’t often stop to wonder how their workers – animators and such – have fared. In the case of Inside Out 2 – still at theaters and the top-grossing animated film of all time – these folks were not just worked to death in creating so much money for Disney, many of them were let go just before they would have gotten the profit sharing bonuses that would have compensated for the low wages their unionless studio signs them on for. If you ever wanted to know why unions are a good idea, here’s a great example. All this and more on TMI for Friday, September 20, 2024 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

Watching the media cover the rise of Kamala Harris and her debate with Donald Trump this week shows how blatantly both the enormous issue of the Climate Crisis and the human rights issues surrounding gender are treated to nothing short of journalistic malpractice. We go over the reality of Harris’ climate positions (and the nightmarish alternative) and expose the hamfisted mishandling of her positions on trans rights.
On our first song break, we feature a new piece by Death Doula called “The Witness“, part of their upcoming full length release “Love Spells”, due out October 11, 2024.
Next, we take you on a look back at how a 29 year old episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was highly prescient to the current state of affairs in today’s world, as its characters found themselves in a version of 2024 that bore far too much resemblance to the one we are in now. Finally, we indulge our science geek side and go through three new breakthroughs: one on EV battery recycling, another on scientists learning how to better study a phenomenon that is too fast and small to normally witness which could lead to limitless energy, and finally one on discovering the chemical bindings of memory in the human brain.

On today’s episode, we delve into the concerning reality of Donald Trump’s advanced age and growing health issues as he campaigns for a second term in the White House. Next, we expose the exploitative fees levied by MySchoolBucks, a payment processor that’s been profiting excessively from parents simply trying to ensure their children have lunch money. Finally, we discuss the Republican Party’s latest campaign strategy—a deeply transphobic ad campaign targeting Democratic Senators in key swing states—a strategy they cling to despite its history of failure to win at the ballot box.
