I don't know why any of you give a damn about what Tim says or does. He's about 3 or 4 years behind most of us when it comes to basic observations about the left. His only purpose is to serve as a gateway for moderate leftists to eventually end up on your side. Outside of that, he bores me.
Because having that gateway is important. He can feel frustratingly far behind those of us living and breathing the bleeding edge of this stuff, but you have to win recruits long march through the institutions style, and good pace-and-lead efforts by people like this are important to keep tabs on and try to help steer.
I don't watch Tim for his opinions; I watch him because he at least tries to be honest about what's going on instead of giving his interpretation of it. I'd probably be willing to watch David Pakman if he'd actually report reality instead of his delusional warped interpretation of it.
It'd be one thing to say, "wow, these protests are pretty violent ... but I'm ok with that", and it's something entirely different to say, "these peaceful protests are 100% peaceful. There is no violence, the police shouldn't be there. But all the violence that isn't happening is definitely coming from white supremacists and federal secret police. But the protests are all still 100% peaceful and nonviolent, and I don't know why you're so concerned about all this supposed 'lawlessness'."
The first is at least honest, if idiotic. The latter is ... almost the entire establishment media.

I watch TimCast IRL for the spinning UFO.
