Content

This week, Paris Marx of the Tech Won't Save Us Podcast joins us to talk about their book, 'Road to Nowhere', and how silicon valley fundamentally cannot imagine a future without cars. We check in on the progress of long-time archenemy of the show Elon Musk's hyperloop, and examine his ongoing effort to escape his obligations to purchase twitter.

In my experience the company cars I've seen are not an executive thing per se, they're more for people who need to travel a lot for work (eg you work for a government agency like the Parks Department of a state and you need to visit each state park a few times a month). That or you work in repairs. Technically, a cop car is a company car.

At 26 minutes Phoebe et al discuss scientists making up particles to get funding. This is very much true https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/sep/26/physics-particles-physicists but the standard model of physics has already predicted all the ones that seem to matter - the article linked does cover that as well. The theoretical goal is to create a new model of physics that explains away uncertainties, but the bullshit particles are mostly that: bullshit.

If you want to cover BookTok (and also not get accused of being a misogynist lol), you could interview Amanda Golka of Swell Entertainment. She covers a lot of the same sorts of things as 10k Posts, except that she covers TikTok instead because she is one of “the youth” as opposed to us geriatric 30-somethings. (I’m sure there are other people who do the same, but she’s the person I watch religiously to get my news about The Kids These Days.) She also reviews IRL influencer events and reviews products that sponsor a lot of other people’s posts, if those are variations on “everything is posting” that you’d be interested in covering.
