Tim Pool - 'journalist' who claims to be a sensible centrist & sucks Sargon of Akkad's wiener; Afraid of the Milkshake ANTIFAs

[Gregar.io]

Have you noticed that Tim keeps referring to the transactions on that HAVV page as "people" rather than attempts? That would imply that each distinct individual was verified through the system exactly one time and not multiple times through other applications. And also, doesn't the HAVV look through the last four digits of the SSN which could appear multiple times?

The beanie still looks well cared for so I think he's fine.

Election year baby. He did this in 2020/22 too. Eventually he'll start posting horoscope predicts winner results.
He thinks he is being smart and clever posting them to obfuscate the fact he said it was going to be a 49 state red tide in 2020.
It gets clicks and he can ramble his own personal thoughts out that have as much weight as baba yaga but he actually believes.

I saw there was a Hannah-hosted episode a while back and watched a bit. It's interesting to see how it really is entirely Tim that is shit with engaging guests. Tim likes to say that IRL is not a debate, but a conversation. Maybe Tim is confusing disjointed ranting with conversation, because conversations employ a back and forth dialogue, not making close-ended statements. IRL is a platform for sporadic soapbox rants, not conversations.

He also rebuffs criticism that he talks too much by saying that he needs to, because there is otherwise dead air. Watching the Parkinson's IRL episode from last night, Tim would rant and circle back on his rant two or three times, then just abruptly stop. It's not asking a question, it's not leading to any further discussion. There is nothing to engage with, which is why there is dead air.

Spoiler: Tim's "conversations"

No, you're wrong. Joe Biden's brain isn't mush. It's like more like peanut butter. It's sometimes smooth and sometimes, uh, what's it called, uh, you know, uh, where it has the nuts in it? The nutty peanut butter? Crunchy. It's sometimes crunchy peanut butter. There's some sugar in there. Some salt. You can put it in on bread. Eat it with jelly. Or sliced bananas. Bananas have potassium, which is, uh, good for you, not a lot of people get enough potassium, which is, uh, you know, potassium is, uh good for you. And it tastes good at first, the peanut butter does, and it's great with a glass of cold, delicious milk from cows you keep on your, uh, not a compound, because I do not own a compound. I own a business with several large buildings on it, which is not the same as a compound. But you don't want to eat it every day. You don't want to eat peanut butter every day, for every meal. Which is to say, that Biden's peanut butter brain has some fat, some sugar, some protein, but not a lot of protein, I mean it's some protein because peanuts are nuts. Are nuts the same legumes? Nuts are the same as legumes, right? I'm pretty sure they are. I read that somewhere. Anyways they have protein, but meat has, uh, it has, it has a lot more protein. Which is to say that Biden's brain, like peanut butter, has some protein, but not a lot, so it's mostly a lot of fat and sugar and you might, uh, you know, you might think that it's good for you, but it's actually not. [weird cackling] It's actually really bad for you. So Biden's brain is not mush, it's peanut butter. *crickets*

Last night's guest seemed lost a few times and unsure how to respond or just outright disinterested when Tim finished ranting at him.

Is it just me, or is he getting crazier?

Had an acquaintance send me a link to last night's TimcastIRL about Biden and Parksinson's, I guess thinking I would enjoy it because of medical shit and I had recommended IRL way back when it first launched, plus wondered if I could answer some questions. I don't know if my expectations have risen from rarely watching Tim's content or if IRL has really just slid so far down the shitter. It seems notably worse than even 6 moths ago and Tim does seem to be getting more up his own ass, sensationalistic, insufferably smug and obnoxious.

What I find interesting is that in your image there is a TimNews segment saying that the Parkinson's story is false. Yet what I recall was him basically saying on IRL that Biden definitely has Parkinson's. Reading through comments, I saw a lot of people saying Lewy Body Dementia, which is pants-on-head retarded. LBD is demarcated by hallucinations, erratic body movement and wildly uncontrollable mood swings. It is more like schizophrenia than the typified memory loss associated with Alzheimer's. Then again, Tim's audience aren't exactly known for being the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree.

Roberta Kaplan

I first read that as Robert Kaplan and it triggered a reminder of a great book, Soldiers of God: With Islamic Warriors in Afghanistan and Pakistan. If you ever want to read a good detailing of the Mujahedeen fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan, this is one.

I do not like having to defend Caryn, but it seems "poopy days" is a FCC-friendly way of saying she had bad days in the past, as Biden did at the debate. I am unsurprised both Chaya Raichik & Tim Pool resort to these misrepresentations for clicks, but I am disappointed the panel just accepts this & does not challenge Tim, while still making a joke of Caryn's awkward choice of words:

You're doing God's work by not only tracking and clipping all of this, but properly fact checking it. I don't know how you have the mental fortitude to do it. I can't stand Tim's dumbed down, theatrical shit any more. It was a cheeky meme when he would constantly say, "it's complicated," but I greatly prefer those days to what has become his schtick of boiling complex subjects down into, "it's simple," fantasy scenarios.

And also, doesn't the HAVV look through the last four digits of the SSN which could appear multiple times?

I checked, & while it does request name & date of birth, which would narrow it down, it does only uses the last four digits of Social Security numbers:

Tim had Tim Burchett, representing Tennessee's 2nd district in the House of the Representatives, as the guest.
Hannah & Libby were the co-hosts.

Clip Collection:
-Burchett is the loquacious sort, doing a voluminous introduction which includes his parents' history, as well as his own. Tim attempts to move the introductions on, but fails for the most part, until he cut him off:

-Did Ian place a curse upon the new studio, because the flies continue to make guest appearances on the show. After a fly lands on Burchett's head, Tim brandishes his electrified swatter at him:

-Tim manages to keep interrupting Burchett, attempting to kill a fly, to the point he breaks his swatter on the table:

-The fly is embracing its role as the Jerry to Tim's Tom. Now, it creeps along the beanie while Tim bloviates, with him none the wiser. After being made aware, Tim still fails to kill it:

-Burchett must be second-guessing his judgement after choosing to appear on IRL, as Tim continues to swipe at a fly amidst his guest trying to speak:

-Tim says he directs people to "message Ian" if they want to send information on to Tim. No wonder his projects are always in such chaos, if Ian is his point of contact. Tim admits "We never do know where he [Ian] is", due to him being absent, more & more these days:

-Tim claims that his morning segment's channel will not appear in Google searches, & even entering video titles, verbatim, that content will not come up. Tim blames this for the 33-50% drop in viewership on "shadow-banning", saying Google does not like "rabble-rousers" like himself:

I tested these claims, so you do not have to. I cleared my browser's history, cookies, etc. & did un-logged in Google searches. Here is the results for "Youtube.com/timcastnews", which Tim claimed would not appear:

& here is Google searching with a copy-&-pasted title of one of his latest videos, which Tim claimed would not bring up the video in question:

Why would Tim fib about something anyone could so easily disprove? I think fewer people are watching the morning segments, because you have a choice of listening to Tim talk about the news of the day, or listen to a potentially interesting guest on IRL talk about the news of the day with Tim.

-Tim says Carl Benjamin & The Lotus Eaters crew shall appear, including them debating with Phil over post-liberalism & classical liberalism:

Fly arc is best Beanie Arc in years.

-Tim says Carl Benjamin & The Lotus Eaters crew shall appear, including them debating with Phil over post-liberalism & classical liberalism:

The Lotus Eaters is a more or less a think tank at this point filled with a bunch of disaffected, college educated snobs trying to either figure out how to fix the failings in classical liberalism that lead to post-liberalism and societal degeneration or how to get an actual Conservative movement going that isn't just a containment measure for the right.

Their arguments are going to go right over Phil's head and nothing will be accomplished.

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

These are the conservative women Tim elevates, because a woman that earned a thread on this site, & a single mother of a mixed race child desperate to become an e-girl, is what Tim no doubt encounters on the regular with so-called conservative women.

LMAO, I know its not on purpose but Tim actually did a good job. These are the genuine honest representatives of conservative women. They're called Tradcons for a reason, my guy. Tim couldn't have done a better job. What? Was he supposed to call Lauren Southern back? The divorced hoe turned on the red pill because it "ruined her marriage"? Or Pearly Things who tried everything under the sun to get famous and settled on red-pill stuff?

All of these women are no different than what Tim said about Dylan Mulvaney. Just grifters who settled on the most profitable grift.

Is it just me, or is he getting crazier?

This is what he does when he has nothing to talk about. Slow news days are always funny because he has to pull shit out of his ass and comes out with crazy bs. It has been pretty slow news wise. I like to imagine he's pulling out what's left of his hair because he's tired of talking about Biden's broken brain.

Fly arc is best Beanie Arc in years.

It was SourSnatchLyds and you know it.

 

[Catgirl Tyranid]

It was SourSnatchLyds and you know it.

Lydia was ALLWAYS boring and what literal drama she inspired was insipid at best. Based Bloody Mary is far superior for making the show enjoyable in every way.

As for Hannah... she'd be a great host if Tim would get more dental work done.

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

Hosting wise she was terrible. The drama was hilarious. The fallout was also hilarious.

Tim is the worst part of his show and everyone knows it.

 

[ThisHill2DieOn]

I find this to be a poor crutch for incompetence. There is always something interesting going on, even if it’s not breaking news. It’s a very big world.

This is a week old, but it’s something that I didn’t see any prominent YT channels cover.

The U.S. Marshals Service rescued and located 200 missing or endangered children over a six-week period, the agency announced on Monday.
[…]
With technical assistance from NCMEC, 123 children were removed from dangerous situations, and 77 were found in safe locations, the agency said.
[…]
Davis said the Marshals Service has run the operation six times previous to this one and, so far, it's located 546 children in 2024, which is a higher number than last year at this time, but lower than the nearly 950 children recovered in 2021.

It doesn't help that Tim's news of the day is clickbait slop now too.
He's been doing it for years and I think the normies are finally having their fill.

God bless your soul sitting through his shit endlessly.

 

[JamesWebbSlinger]

Add these to the abundant examples that Tim has terrible judgement in who he chooses to associate with & platform. They either undermine Tim's intended message because he did no research on them beforehand (John Goldman & his Liminal Order), end up betraying him (Emily Molli & Rocco Castoro with Subverse), etc. Despite his professed street-wise upbringing on the South Side of Chicago, Tim just cannot read people, at all.

This seems to be an issue Tim has. He swings from hyper-obsession with something, like the HAVV spreadsheets, which he shall talk about to no end, only to be complete ignorant of other events. I recalled when he had to be told what Project 2025 was, in April, despite covering the election non-stop. While this can happen to anyone, not everyone is making $1 million a year to regurgitate news.

Tim had Joe Kent, a candidate for Washington state's 3rd congressional district, as the guest.
Hannah & Ian were the co-hosts.

Clip Collection:
-YouTube attempted to save us from another episode, by blocking streaming "five minutes" before the show started, due to a site-wide problem. Tim managed to find a way around that, unfortunately:

-Tim fires up an accelerationist spiel, declaring how he should just vote for Democrats as they will "torch the whole place to the ground", without Republicans to stop them, & after the collapse "rebuild something, without them in it". Because if there is one type of person who could survive societal collapse, it is a middle aged skater, living off of ad revenue & super-chats:

-Joe has impressive focus, being able to talk while Tim is swiping at the flies besetting the studio:

-Tim expels a lot of hot air, excoriating "traitors & the disloyal" Republicans who voted against holding Merrick Garland in inherent contempt. Hannah points out Tim could try to bring those politicians that did not vote as he wished onto The Culture War to explain their decision. Tim splutters at how they would never accept the invitation. Hannah says you never know until you ask:

-Ian asks what level of losses in the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan would it have taken for Democrats to express outrage over it. Tim says Democrats would say nothing, regardless, because "the progressive left would be celebrating in the streets", citing how leftists celebrated the 7 October attacks "in Times Square":

-I was excited to see Ian begin ramping up a crazy tangent on DMT & the meaning of Apocalypse, but Tim just has to move to super-chats...:

-Tim does not seem willing to attempt to invite the congressmen he criticises onto the show, but he is more than eager to buy billboards with critical messages in their districts:

-Tim explains how he has come to label the Krassenstein brothers as "evil", due to having the "end goal of self-empowerment...which would result in more entropy & the destruction of civilisation & complex systems", which means they "intentionally lie to people...misrepresent things, to trick people into doing things that hurt them". Tim says people like the Krassensteins are the reason why Rome fell:

Too many of his segments are rehashes of the previous IRL and they are too long. They used to be more concise; now they are more than often greater than 20 minutes filled with constant meandering about off topic subjects or fake stories.

Is it 20 minute videos? That would explain him doing it.

I clicked on today's episode with Sargon, who's recently apologized for saying something based years ago, and his employee Connor. Phil was blabbering about how America is basically an extension of Britain. Such patriotism. I had to close it within 30 seconds from the cringe.

The only extension of Britain we have right now is a massive surplus of faggots we need to chase out

Proving the thread descriptor:

"sucks Sargon of Akkad's wiener"​

This is the only time in recent memory I've seen an IRL thumbnail that didn't have Tim's face plastered on it, instead giving up his position to Sargon's employee Connor.
