I’ll probably write a longer post later on Terrible Tommy’s ideas - but I’m glad you’re enjoying discovering him. I really hope someone has a plan to archive the thousands of hours of content he made. Up until very recently, he was still doing online radio for hours a week.

He was a tireless, caring man. I know “caring” sounds odd for his public image but it really comes across in these interviews.

I wrote him maybe a half-dozen times in the last year. I don’t know why I wrote him, it was definitely risky, my gut just told me he was going to die some day and I’d regret it if I didn’t. Each time, he wrote back within a day or two - including a month ago. I was a stranger with little identifying info but he wanted to know I was doing alright and joking like I knew him. He apparently was sending people orders for stickers a few weeks ago.

It’s really sick how this System lies. He definitely said some very “colorful,” by mainstream society standards, things. But he wasn’t a spokesman for violent madmen. He was a father of six, who lived to old age still doing daily legal activism, who seems to have gotten along well with everyone he actually met.
