• 56:28Jeff used to describe Brooklyn people as dressing like extras from The Wire season 2, all severe intellectual types with no fun in their energy.
• 56:55Every Brooklyn coffee shop has a sign saying 'end racism' while angry people sit furiously typing on MacBooks, creating a heavy atmosphere.
• 57:39Tim describes the neighborhood as feeling like people's only job was putting up Jewish hostage posters and ripping them down all day.
• 58:03Someone told Tim they were surprised the beheading incident doesn't happen more often, which shocked him with its dark implication.
• 58:34Tim argues people assume anyone who disagrees with them is capable of violence, conflating political opposition with murderous extremism.
• 59:08The person was unsurprised about someone cutting their father's head off in a bathroom, which Tim found genuinely disturbing as an attitude.
• 59:40Tim wonders if people make cynical statements about violent crime being unsurprising just to sound tough or hard.
• 59:51Tim notes the person believed everyone in Pennsylvania who disagrees with them politically is a hidden killer who just hasn't acted yet.
• 1:00:05The internet accused the beheading suspect of being MK Ultra activated, another conspiracy theory Tim hasn't investigated.
• 1:00:23Tim says the only thing he's certain of is that Sandy Hook happened, closing off most other conspiratorial thinking.
