TMI 07/18/2025 – BEST OF TMI – Will Roberts Documents the Vital CUNA/Trustage Strike in “Out of Office”, “Alligator Alcatraz” is a 21st Century Concentration Camp, WI Supreme Court News, more

On this Bestof TMI episode, Will Roberts joins us to discuss his Means.TV documentary “Out of Office” which succinctly and clearly shows the union’s side of the 2023 OPEIU Local 39 strike on Trustage (nee CUNA Mutual). We examine how even when a union is present, effort must be made to use it to protect the workers… and when that effort is made, it can win BIG. Listen in!

Next, we look at the shame that is the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in Florida. Erected in eight days, designed to hold people out where escape can mean death by predator, and ready to be abused as this-century’s version of a concentration camp, we look at this thing that both Trump and DeSantis hail as the new way to treat people they don’t like. Finally, we go over some good news from the Wisconsin Supreme Court, as the majority decided to stop the Wisconsin State Legislature from unconstitutionally negating the rightful powers and duties of the office of Governor.

TMI 06/06/2025 – Preserving Worlds of Game Culture, Pride Flag and Celebration Bans Fought Nationwide, How Anger Must Be Kept in the Fight For Us All, more

Capitalism isn’t known for preserving culture, even that culture which was born from its offerings. This inspired Derek Murphy and Mitchell Zemil to create “Preserving Worlds” with Means TV, as both digital archaeology and cultural preservation, documenting not just the technical aspects of online virtual worlds built around games but the human communities and cultures that flourished within them. We discuss the series with them – listen in!

Next, we discover that from Florida Pride celebrants defying Governor DeSantis’ anti-LGBT laws to place in Montana, Utah and Idaho finding ways to re-legalize Pride Flags for their communities, there is a nationwide backlash against the attempt top erase the LGBTQ+ community.

Absentee Ballots Big Food Corporate Malfeasance Election Integrity Episode Florida Freedom Summer Inflation MyVote Pride Ron DeSantis Shrinkflation Stock Buybacks Wisconsin Elections Commission WSUM

TMI 06/07/2024 – Big Food’s Stock Buybacks Cost Us More Than Inflation, Florida’s “Freedom Summer” Bans Pride Light Displays on Bridges, Lawsuit Makes Absentee Voting in Wisconsin More Complicated

On this episode, we dissect the profit-driven machinations of Big Food (the grocery monopolies and fast food giants). While inflation is hitting us hard, these monolithic corporations blame supply chain issues, all while channeling massive profits into stock buybacks and dividends to make their shareholders rich at our expense.

Then, we look at Florida’s decision not to illuminate bridges with rainbow colors during Pride Month under the guise of patriotic “Freedom” color displays being mandated all summer. This is sparking citizen action, with locals taking matters into their own hands by projecting rainbow hues from the Main Street bridge in Jacksonville. Finally, a lawsuit is trying to make it harder for you to have your absentee ballot counted in the State of Wisconsin.

COVID-19 Episode Loneliness Masks Muppets Parachutes Randomized Controlled Trial Ron DeSantis Science Surgeon General Vivek Murthy WSUM

TMI 05/12/2023 – Surgeon General Says Loneliness Kills, How a Study That Shows How Parachutes Don’t Work Tells Us How Mask Studies Were Skewed, How Muppets Expposed DeSantis’ Virtue Signalling

The likes of Elvis Presley and David Bowie have famously sung about how someone could be so lonely they could die, but Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy has recently confirmed it. In a recent advisory, Surgeon General Murthy calls attention to a public health crisis of loneliness, isolation, and lack of connection in our country that can lead to mental health challenges and increase the risk for premature death to levels comparable to smoking daily – we look into this.

Then, remember when certain studies came out saying that masks don’t work at keeping COVID at bay? Turns out they were using the same methodology that shows a parachute is as ineffective as an ordinary backpack at preventing death when falling from an airplane: the randomized controlled trial. While this is the gold standard for testing many medical interventions, it can and often does lead to serious flaws when applied to engineered solutions, such as parachutes and, you guessed it, masks. Finally, we show how the Muppets managed to expose Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ attack on being “woke” for the virtue signalling opportunistic nonsense it is.
