the record🗞️, july 17, 2025 // reporting without permission– follow the news that doesn’t make it to cable: @redefiningtherecord– subscribe on Substack to get every drop: open.substack.com/pub/marlenabeautydotcom– “fund the record” is coming soon — soft launch now, harder truths always– correction: i said july 18 in the episode — it’s actually july 17 (i woke up like this, okay?)– we were so deep in Ai + epstein + current affairs that i didn’t get to the climate updates — but they’re important, and we’ll pick that up tomorrow– hosted + written by marlena – recorded in california with one dog, zero filters, and no coffee (yet)
🌡️ weather + climate check (missed in the ep, but not forgotten):
we didn’t get to it on-air, but the climate crisis isn’t slowing down:
– phoenix hit 117° this week — a new july record– miami’s ocean temps just recorded their hottest july ever– wildfires in southern europe are forcing evacuations again– and california’s fire season is already kicking off — and it’s barely mid-july
this isn’t just extreme weather. this is collapse.and while the pentagon signs $200M deals with grok, entire cities are choking on smoke and drowning in silence.
we’ll cover it in full tomorrow. but know this:the crisis isn’t coming. it’s already here.
