Tim says he's grown wary of both pro-Ukraine sloganeering and pro-Putin apologists online, mocks a small-town 'we stand with Ukraine' sign, and admits he's simply bored of the wall-to-wall war coverage.
- Tim argues that taking sides on Ukraine can get silly, using a hypothetical about nuclear strikes to illustrate how past mistakes don't help in present crises.
- He's already bored with the Ukraine narrative—it went from new and interesting to dull, with circular takes repeating endlessly.
- Tim expresses wariness of both sides: the triumphalist cheerleading for Zelenskyy and the opposite extreme of Putin apologism on television.
- A sign in Babylon declaring the town stands with Ukraine strikes him as hollow and cringe, highlighting the absurdity of performative solidarity.
- Tim says he's tired of the whole thing and doubts anyone actually took a poll before slapping up that town solidarity sign anyway.
