2021 Colorado Conspiracy theories COVID-19 Democratic Party Emergency Room Episode ER House of Representatives misinformation Parthenogenesis Science Vaccination WSUM

TMI 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 corporate media wants you to think, and they are being used as leverage to push Dems even FURTHER from action that would inspire people to come out in support of them. Finally, we talk about a pair of exciting new discoveries in the world of science: successful parthenogenesis in birds (specifically condors) being observed for the first time, and the ability to use a brain implant prosthesis to allow a blind person to ‘see”.

Amazon Capitol Building Attack Coal war Conspiracy theories COVID-19 disinformation Donald Trump Episode Homelessness January 6 misinformation Proud Boys Riot union Vaccination WSUM

TMI 10/01/2021 – Amazon’s Company Town Solution is a Horrible Idea, COVID-19 Killing More US Conservatives Than Ever, Trump’s Lawsuit to Hide from January 6, 2021

Amazon says it has the perfect solution to the housing crisis: why not let them house their workers in affordable housing near their workplaces, allowing them to also help control costs by supplying transportation, food, and other needs? 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 of it. Finally, we look at how Trump is suing to try and keep White House records from January 6th, 2021 from investigators into the Capitol Attack. Nothing suspicious there.

TMI 08/27/2021 – Get Vaxx Get $100, Collectivo Unionizes, Wind Turbine Size Matters, and Holy Flaming Chevy Bolts!

On today’s episode of TMI:

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?? Will you at LEAST get vaccinated if the State of Wisconsin PAYS you $100? If you don’t live there, don’t worry – we cover a number of other incentives that are being issued to coax reluctant citizens into doing what THEY SHOULD DO ANYWAY.

Then, we celebrate the successful unionization of Collectivo Coffee, the effort to do so first referenced here on TMI on the March 19th episode with Faiz Shakir. They are the first coffee chain to do so, and we lay out the significance.

Next, we note that China is breaking the record for largest power-generating wind turbine, and we tell you why bigger actually IS better when it comes to wind turbines.

Finally, Chevrolet has been forced to recall all Bolt EV cars due to the tendency for their batteries to burst into flames. All this and more on TMI with Aldous Tyler for Friday, August 27, 2021 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media.

TMI 07/30/2021 – Fishy Fish – How Subway’s Tuna Scandal Isn’t the Only Seafood Fraud, The Ethics of Forcing People to Work With the Unvaccinated, How Strategy Games Reinforce Colonial White Supremacy

We’ve all heard of Subway’s infamous tunaless tuna sandwich by now – researchers discovered no tuna DNA in the meat of Subway’s famous offering, causing headlines across the country. What hasn’t been reported nearly as much as this is likely not even Subway’s fault: a staggeringly high amount of fish and seafood is being sold mislabeled. We explore the mystery of the fishy fish.

Then, we discuss the ethics of being told that not only MUST you return to the office, versus being able to work from home, but that you may be forced to do so in the company of folks who have refused vaccination against COVID. Is it right to force someone to choose between living indoors and staying healthy? Finally, we look at how strategy board games like Puerto Rico force their players to adopt the genocidal mindsets of colonists in order to succeed at their games.
