in 2016 Elon Musk said he would build a fully automated factory in Fremont, California for the upcoming Model 3 and he then spent on the order of $2 billion on production lines that didn't work, forcing Tesla to assemble cars by hand in a tent but sure, now he's gonna do it on the moon
The music on this week episode with Terri Lyne Carrington is technically “jazz,” but her second album with Social Science is so many other things; jazz, blues gospel, R&B, hip-hop, and spoken word poetry. The Record Store Day Podcast, Wherever you get your podcasts or: bit.ly/RSDPODCAST

Iranian cyber attacks on water supplies in Michigan and Minnesota. Oh no, now conspiracy theorists are going to assume it’s actually Trump doing it to punish blue states. I wouldn’t want to spread a conspiracy theory like that.
Next week on the Record Store Day podcast, it’s jazz and soul social consciousness with the great Terri Lyne Carrington. Her righteous new album (with her band Social Science), Trip the Night Fantastic, was just released today. (Photo by Meredith Truax)
This is my next read. Thanks @pulmyears.bsky.social ! I heard you’re writing a book on Catherine O’Hara…I hope that’s true! (Loved your KiTH book.)
You see? When Fauci was here, we avoided an American Ebola outbreak.
Kai Kupferschmidt@kakape.bsky.social · 6d agoEbola may have been spreading for months in the DRC before anyone recognized it. A new reconstruction suggests the outbreak was already widespread in the gold-mining town of Mongbwalu by January. It wasn’t officially declared until 15 May. Why did no-one raise the alarm? My story for @science.org 🧪
A reminder that Dr. Anthony Fauci is the recipient of a Presidential Medal of Freedom before it was trashed up by MAGA, the National Medal of Science and many honorary degrees. He has over 5 decades of public service and has advised 7 Presidents. The orange felon has 34 felonies.
It's been a local blue-collar industry for generations, and now it's being dismantled because of short-sightedness and greed.
Alvaro M. Bedoya@bedoyausa.bsky.social · last wk.People think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall. My latest for @newrepublic.com on how the Paramount merger would crush blue collar workers who can not afford it newrepublic.com/article/2136...
Once you recognize it, you can't unhear how he talks like a wifebeater.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Trump: "We're gonna hit them very hard. I can actually say that because there's very little they can do about it. They've already apologized. But we've gotta smack them a little bit."
It seems like a very bad thing that the president of the United States can launch a war on nothing more than a whim and spend trillions of dollars with no oversight whatsoever.
Billy Idol and Steve Stevens sat down with @pulmyears.bsky.social to talk with indie record stores attending the @recordstoreday.bsky.social Summer Camp in New Orleans. Coming soon to the Record Store Day podcast! 🤘

The hallmark of this era is how comprehensively evil these guys all are. It’s not enough to not care about making things better; if something exists to help people, it has to be destroyed. Hard to think of many analogues here.
Joel Rose@joelrose.bsky.social · 2w agoNEW from me: Transportation officials have removed a growing list of safety measures that reference bikes from federal websites. The push began after DOT Secretary Duffy’s social media post vowing to end funding for “DEI bike lanes” earlier this month. www.npr.org/2026/07/23/n...
Disgraceful. Simply disgraceful.

Is nobody else perplexed that our investigative reporting chops these days are so poor we can’t find out for sure if a public official is alive or dead?! Woodward and Bernstein must be rolling in their graves… and I can report they are still alive!
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 2w agoWE ALL KNOW SOMETHING ISN’T RIGHT HERE Over a month. Zero public appearances. One questionable photo.
