TMI with Aldous Tyler

Veteran Investigative Journalist Greg Palast joins us to discuss how the media repeated (not reported on) the lie fed them by Georgia's Brad Raffensperger. What lie? That the runoff election had "record turnout" when that last runoff just two years ago had ONE MILLION MORE VOTES. He and I even do the EASY math for you here and lay it all out, not only the ramifications for Georgia, but the rest of...

While supposedly-Democratic Senators Joe Machin and Kyrsten Sinema seem to be such a match made in Hell that they've been given the collective nickname "Manchinema", we discuss how their differences actually spell even MORE trouble than what they have in common. Next, we look at Dr. Jha, the new COVID Coordinator for the Biden Administration and examine his record, noting that he has some major fl...

It's widely accepted that if we allow the globe to reach an average of 2°C warmer than pre-industrial levels, absolute chaos will be unleashed - we discuss how difficult it is looking like it will be to keep from hitting that threshold. Then: for years women were told that the best way to be financially stable was to find a "provider" husband who would bring in all the wealth they need. Studies ar...

REBROADCAST OF MARCH 25, 2022 EPISODE: The temperature in parts of the Antarctic hit 70ºF above average - what makes that even more alarming is how at the SAME moment parts of the Arctic hit 50ºF above average! We discuss the ramifications. Next, while many are aware of the corrupt and corporate leanings of Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, his wife Gayle happens to have still OTHER corrupting force...

REBROADCAST OF APRIL 1, 2022 EPISODE: The Thwaite Glacier in Antarctica is becoming less stable by the day, and its particular positioning makes it a very potent force in the future rise of sea levels. We discuss that, then we go over concerns that are being expressed over how the USA is going to monitor the next surge of COVID-19 infection when we seem to be dismantling the programs that have don...

The Thwaite Glacier in Antarctica is becoming less stable by the day, and its particular positioning makes it a very potent force in the future rise of sea levels. We discuss that, then we go over concerns that are being expressed over how the USA is going to monitor the next surge of COVID-19 infection when we seem to be dismantling the programs that have done just that the last two years. Finall...

The temperature in parts of the Antarctic hit 70ºF above average - what makes that even more alarming is how at the SAME moment parts of the Arctic hit 50ºF above average! We discuss the ramifications. Next, while many are aware of the corrupt and corporate leanings of Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, his wife Gayle happens to have still OTHER corrupting forces that she merrily navigates for her hu...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has aims to eliminate a Congressional district in his state that is primarily populated by black people. We will go over the legality of this, and how it is NO accident. Then, we go over the bill that has passed the US Senate, looking to end the madness of changing our clocks twice a year by making Daylight Saving Time a permanent state, beginning November 2023. Final...

TMI with Aldous Tyler has been pre-empted for Friday, March 11, 2022. Please check back on Friday, March 18, 2022 for a new episode of TMI, YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

We are joined by Greg Palast who outlines how both the sharp increase in oil prices and the Russian Orthodox Church are motivating Vladimir Putin to push further into Ukraine, causing untold chaos for both Russia and Ukraine. Then, I go over how Russia has a particular geographical feature that makes invading Ukraine even more attractive for Putin, along with a few other issues that weren't covere...

The State of Missouri was badly embarrassed when a journalist discovered that the private details of thousands of Missouri teachers (including Social Security Numbers) was publicly accessible via the HTML code of a Missouri website, using the simple tool called "View Source" - this led to the journalist being labeled a "hacker" by the Governor. We discuss what happened in this gross misuse of poli...

Dave Black, founder of WSUM here in Madison, Wisconsin, and one of the key people who helped get TMI on the airwaves, has died less than one year after his retirement. While we shall spend most of this episode on other topics, I refused to go further without honoring the passing of this dedicated media visionary. Thank you for humoring me. Then, we talk about the dry facts surrounding the drought...

Here in the USA, we are very proud of ourselves as a nation, looking down on "third world" countries where the people face food insecurity, violence from corrupt or racist policing, mass homelessness... without realizing that what we are describing is also HERE. We find out what happened to bring us from the heights of a strong middle class to the point at which very few can truly make ends meet.&...

From its origins just a few months ago until now, Wordle has become the simple little online game that took over many people's Facebook newsfeeds and more - just in time for the New York Times to swoop in and buy it from Josh Wardle. Oh, the NYT promises it will remain free... for an introductory period. Mr. Wardle couldn't rightly turn down the money thrown at him, but wonders why we can't just h...

THIS IS A REBROADCAST OF TMI FROM 01/21/2022. Society seems pretty well torn in two, and the odd thing about it is that there appears to be mostly a conflict between those who want to focus on building and uplifting community between each other and those who prize, above all else, what they have been TOLD it means to be "free". We examine this fundamental breakdown in communication to hopefully be...

Society seems pretty well torn in two, and the odd thing about it is that there appears to be mostly a conflict between those who want to focus on building and uplifting community between each other and those who prize, above all else, what they have been TOLD it means to be "free". We examine this fundamental breakdown in communication to hopefully better prepare you to help heal the rifts so we...

Katherine J. Wu of the Atlantic tells us that virologists don't mean what WE mean when they say the Omicron variant of COVID is "milder" - that misunderstanding is leading to a lot of poor public health decisions, letting our guard down around a still-fatal pandemic. Then, we look over Ryan Cooper's piece in the week, entitled "Wisconsin's One-Party Rule is What the GOP Wants Everywhere" and how,...

Betty White quietly funded the rescue of animals in 2005 during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, not wanting any fame for it, and setting a good example for us all - she knew what mattered to her and then acted on it, as we all should. Also, if you can, follow her example of longevity. Then, we go into how, at 30% remaining contagious with COVID at the fifth day of infection, the new CDC guidel...

Eschewing the ordinary year-in-review, we go over the events of 2021 that are actually worth reviewing. This includes CRT protests being used as a distraction from how the January 6th investigation was not going well for the GOP, how many more people were getting badly affected by the climate crisis, and that there was no room in the debate for helping people out financially - oh no, they wanted y...

Right on cue, Senators Sinema and Manchin show President Biden that his supposed ability to know how to get things done in DC is sorely outdated, as his Build Back Better bill gets halted by the latest rotating villains in the Democratic Party. Then, astrophysicists were pretty dang certain they had a firm grasp on how fast the universe was expanding, until new recalculations show the cosmos sprea...

THIS EPISODE IS A REBROADCAST OF TMI FROM 12/03/2021. When you mix a bad habit that the mind has with the way social media feeds it, and add a dash of deadly pandemic, the results are fatal - we explain how. Then, we look at how newly engineered stem cell groups are able to build replicas of themselves in groundbreaking research just released this week. Finally, we show how your boss has been lied...

One of the key things that you'd expect a true crisis to bring is damage to those who have done no wrong - and the Climate Crisis does not disappoint. The wronged parties are taking to the courts for remedy against those damages, and this may be key to finally getting the attention of the oligarchs. Then, Sildenafil, a highly popular medication for keeping certain things alert, seems to be showing...

Then, we look at how newly engineered stem cell groups are able to build replicas of themselves in groundbreaking research just released this week.

The retail establishment has long enjoyed spreading the myth that until the day after Thanksgiving each year, they are "in the red", or that they haven't made any total profit for the year until that very day. According to this, it is called "Black Friday" as that is when they are finally "in the black" financially, but that is far from the actual origin of the term. We go over how a certain footb...

Maybe you've heard of Palantir or other software that promises to let law enforcement investigate social media more easily, but the unprecedented lengths Voyager can go allows the tools to be not just entrapping, but also ones that reinforce policing prejudices. Then, finishing our reporting on the COP26 climate conference, we discuss how the big boys (USA, UK, EU, etc) are consistently stopping a...
