This week on TMI, Aldous reads a quick word by Leslie James – UBER Girl – on how one can have a very bad day and carry on, to let you know you are NOT alone. Next, we look at Trump’s pick for Vice President, J.D. Vance. If you haven’t heard of him, you’re in good company, but what should alarm you are those who’ve not only HEARD of Vance, but who are backing him to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of campaign contributions to Trump before November.

Then we check in with Bill McKibben’s breakdown of the GOP’s plan for the Climate Crisis and how even the Taliban Administration in Afghanistan has a BETTER plan. Finally, we take a quick peek on a recent discovery on how creative people process information. All this and more on TMI for Friday, July 19, 2024 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

TMI 07/12/2024 – Uber Girl’s Essay on False Prophets and the Murder of Pauly Likens, A Deep Dive Into the Future of President Biden’s Campaign for Re-election, more

TMI starts differently than usual, with Aldous reading you a short essay written by Leslie “Uber Girl” James on how, far too often, we find people using religion to control, to harm, to encourage others to hate. She masterfully delves into how these false prophets and their twisted agenda led directly to the brutal murder of 14 year old Pauly Likens, a child who was not protected by the loving God these men claim to represent.

Continuing the unusual episode, we then dive deeply into the legitimate issues surrounding the viability of President Joe Biden’s campaign to be re-elected in November. The solutions offered should only be used in desperate need, but how much more desperate a need is there than defeating Trump and Project 2025?

TMI 07/06/2024 @ 4pm Central – SPECIAL DAY/TIME – SCOTUS’ Trump v. United States Takes Presidency Above the Law, Justice Kagan Dissents on Death of Chevron Doctrine, LA, TX and OK Place Christianity Into Public Schools at Once, more

On this week’s “TMI with Aldous Tyler”, we kick off with a discussion on SCOTUS’ July 1 ruling on Trump v. United States. This landmark ruling, which grants presidents immunity from prosecution when carrying out “official acts”, has sparked a nationwide debate about the extent of presidential power, coming from sources as close as Justice Sotomayor.

Next, we’ll delve into Justice Elena Kagan’s dissent on the death of the Chevron Doctrine. Kagan’s scathing critique of her conservative colleagues, whom she accuses of a power grab, has sent ripples through the judicial community. Finally, we’ll examine the controversial decisions by Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma to incorporate Christianity into their public schools. These states’ moves to bring religion into the classroom have ignited a fiery debate about the separation of church and state.

TMI 06/28/2024 – Coastal Flooding Risk Has Been Underestimated by IPCC Models, AI Data Centers’ Hidden Power Use is Being Paid For By Us, What Do We Do When Digital News Archives Like MTV News Vanish?, more

On this week’s episode, we look at a pair of new studies that have discovered a flaw in the UN’s IPCC models that predict how much sea levels will rise, and how horrific coastal flooding will get.

Next, we examine the surprise unilateral move by media conglomerate Paramount Global to pull all MTV News (and CMT News) content offline – over 20 years of music and cultural reporting and history gone in a flash – and how it spells trouble fast if action isn’t taken to stop this from happening again.

Finally, we take a deep look into the hidden costs of power and water that giant AI data centers charge all of us.

TMI 06/21/2024 – UN Women Declare TERF Groups Extremist Movements, Old Questions Underreport National Support for Abortion, A History of the 1918 Bird Flu, Archaea Processes Hydrogen Renewably, more

This week, we look into the recent declaration by UN Women, categorizing so-called “Gender Critical” TERF groups as an extremist anti-rights movement. Join us as we unpack the implications of this landmark decision and its impact on the fight for gender rights.

Next, we turn our attention to the underreported national support for abortion rights, questioning the efficacy of outdated polling questions. Then, we take a step back in time to explore the 1918 Bird Flu pandemic, drawing parallels with our current health crisis. Finally, we’ll discuss the groundbreaking discovery of archaea’s ability to process hydrogen for energy, a potential game-changer in the renewable energy sector.

TMI 06/14/2024 – Examining the Intersecting S-Curves of Change in Renewable Energy and Fossil Fuel Use and Technology, A Scientific Look at How to Have Better Conversations, more

On this episode, we discuss how Bill McKibben lays out in his blog “The Crucial Years” the fact that advances in renewable energy technology and adoption are forming an “S-curve” where the slope of increase is moving sharply upwards, leading us into a future where the slope of decrease on reliance on fossil fuels will drop off just as sharply. Our goal now is to make these dueling curves meet in time to save ourselves from the worst of the climate catastrophe’s effects.

Then, we take a serious scientific look at how to improve our ability to communicate via conversation, taking a page out of the (literal) book “The Laws of Connection” by David Robson to increase our awareness of the common pitfalls that keep us from making those all-important connections with our fellow human beings.

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.

ABC Australia Antitrust Carbon Footprint Cars Climate Electric Vehicles Episode Internal Combustion Engine Joe Biden Monopoly Political Language Ron Johnson Russ Feingold WSUM

TMI 05/31/2024 – Joe Biden is Running Away From How He Fights Monopoly Power and That Could Cost Him Like it Did Feingold, The Real Carbon Footprint of EVs Versus Internal Combustion Cars and more

President Joe Biden’s administration has taken numerous steps to fight monopoly power in the interest of the people, but at almost every turn, the White House Communications team refuses to comment on these positions and accomplishments, making it look like Biden is doing nothing for we, the people. The distinguished progressive Senator Russ Feingold lost re-election in 2010 with a similar “run away from your progressive bona fides” strategy – it might cost Biden similarly.

Next, leave it to the ABC Network of Australia, but they’ve broken down the exact carbon footprint differences between EVs and Internal Combustion Engine cars from manufacturing and materials, fuel/energy sourcing and use through their lifetime and finally into disposal – you’ll be surprised at exactly how the two compare.

TMI 05/24/2024 – Medicine Scarcity in England Causes a National Emergency, Return to Office Mandates Lead to a Talent Exodus, and Magnetic Insights Give a New Understanding Behind the Development of Life on Earth and more

As England grapples with dangerously short supplies of essential medications, pharmacists raise their voices in urgent warning. We dive into the crisis, exploring why patients face immediate harm due to unavailability of crucial drugs. From life-saving treatments to everyday prescriptions, we look at how Big Pharma and Brexit have combined to cause this emergency.

Next, a recent study on Apple, Microsoft, and SpaceX shows that these top-tier tech corporations are losing senior talent due to return-to-office (RTO) mandates. The corporate world tries to hold onto its precious office real estate by claiming RTO is about productivity and preserving corporate culture, but their actions appear to be losing both. Finally, we look at how new findings on the collapse of the Earth’s magnetic field roughly 600 million years ago in the Ediacaran Period – they point to how that helped complex oxygen-using life forms emerge.
