Tim Minchin on his viral speech, quitting social media and being kind

[@Bunter1815]

Thank you TM, C4, KG-M. To TM my late son loved your work and would have enjoyed this interview.

[@r8chlletters]

I think Tim, we can all be kind to one another (a broad term but for me this feels like civility, decency and the golden rule) while also not condoning or allowing the seeds of hate to grow. In my country a rapist will be president. It doesn’t matter how kind I am, people I know who have been raped have to try and weather this unimaginable outcome in what should be a modern democratic republic. Kindness is good for many things, we also must have a strong and steady course that does not allow truly bad people from dominating us.

[@ravens-crypt]

Agreed

[@therainbowmachines]

Brilliant podcast! TY! Couldn’t agree more!!!!

[@belkentens]

Krishnan’s wearing trainers so I know this is gonna be a cool, laid back chilled sort of vibe

[@camerondeans9056]

I don't think we're bad at long-term thinking at all. It just requires co-ordination and personal trade-offs, and no one wants to be first to sacrifice

[@RedOnItEE]

good podcast. ignore the bots

[@stevieweevyC]

Funny cos even his flop movie was why i watched it and Tim didn't fail me. Its why i still write!

[@lizzydorgan]

perth / new zealand / aussie are way closer than what anyone realises!! 💜💚🖤❤️ such a great listen

[@DisobedientSpaceWhale]

His 'Song for Phil Daoust' wasn't particularly nice or kind.....

[@stevieweevyC]

Phil deserves it. He took Tim away from me for years! Phil ruined Tim. TIM came back

[@stevieweevyC]

Tim. YOUR MINE! Love you

[@iainmackenzieUK]

e are not always able to access our capacity to be kind so at least we might try not to be unkind. This, in itself, would make a big difference. Love thy neighbour? Its a high bar. At least: commit to doing no harm.

[@gurmot]

Hey Tim, if you ever want to leave the UK cities and get out into the real world, would you do a gig with my Somerset based retro rock band? You’d be great and certainly not in any pigeon hole!

[@In2earthing]

I want an honorary degree. My family said they won’t LOVE me with one.

[@stevieweevyC]

Also this comment section is very lazy!

[@wiseget-f7e]

I fell asleep after the first word

[@daniellamcgee4251]

Soothing 😊

[@philroberts7238]

And then did you wake up and galvanise yourself in order to share that somnolence with the rest of us? (I'm afraid I can't share Tim's tolerance with ignorance and stupidity, although I am impressed by his forbearance.)

[@julianshepherd2038]

Finding Bluesky a lot more calm but i can get information. I await it's ruining by a bonkers billionaire.

[@RemirzAustin-f4o]

$75k biweekly changed my mindset and behavior, my goals, my family and I've to say this video has inspired me a lot!!!!

[@FestusLevis]

I'm feeling really motivated could you share some details about the biweekly topic you brought up ??

[@RemirzAustin-f4o]

Big thanks to mrs Kate Elizabeth BECHERER ❤️❤️

[@RemirzAustin-f4o]

Her top notch guidance and expertise on digital market changed the game for me.

[@SofiaSuarez-w4c]

I know that woman (Kate Elizabeth Becherer ) If you were born and raised in new York you'd know too, she's my family's Broker for 3yrs till now and a very good one if you asked me. No doubt she is the one that helped you get where you are!!!!

[@BransonHanson-x2j]

I started with a miserly $1500. The results have been mind blowing I must say TBH

[@Womberto]

Stick to the songs Tim.

[@shoelessjoe428]

Why should he?

[@Womberto]

@shoelessjoe428 Because we don't need to be lectured to by any more celebs. He'll just end up halving his audience for no good reason.

[@ravens-crypt]

But are the people you have labeled bigots truly that or do you just don’t want to hear a different view point from the one your used to on a daily basis .

[@ravens-crypt]

I’m not saying that sometimes you don’t encounter bigots in life you do but to throw that label around means it loses all its power.

[@Bungle-UK]

Exactly….what he really means is other people have different opinions to him and he can’t deal with it.

[@dannyquinn9128]

No, "bigot" has a very specific meaning.

[@belkentens]

Wow… This goes on for 3 quarters of an hour Good luck I gave up after 3 minutes of him pontificating
