Tim’s take
Columbine mostly functions as a punchline for him, a shorthand other people invoke when threatening to shoot themselves or blow something up as a joke 19:07 17:03. When he's serious he treats it as the cultural starting point for mass shootings as a copied phenomenon and a fashion reference for shooters' aesthetics 30:04 27:28. He also mentions reading a Columbine book on a plane, using it to riff on his own instinct to survive and narrate rather than act heroically 0:33 3:24.
