Is this the first official confirmation @chrisavellone.bsky.social is working with Robert Kurvitz's team on their next game?
FT: Kurvitz is making his next game at a new studio, Red Info, with Aleksander Rostov, Helen Hindpere and Chris Avellone, lead writer of the 1999 video game Planescape: Torment, a huge influence on Disco. "[Kurvitz] felt that Disco was the project in his head, and once he was cut off from the franchise, he was worried he didn't have any other ideas in him," Avellone told me. "I felt that was bullshit... Robert's too creative to simply 'not' create something or rely on a single world idea in his head."

Good luck trying to make a phone or a laptop or a Tesla or a Nintendo Switch without China
China produces three in every four lithium-ion batteries sold globally, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Battery prices in the country have also been falling at a faster rate than the rest of the world, thanks to a fiercely competitive local market counting almost 100 producers. Unrivalled government backing has been crucial in establishing the industry and driving down costs. Last year, the average Chinese battery pack was more than 30 per cent cheaper than those made in the EU and 20 per cent cheaper than in the US. China controls the lithium-ion battery industry Geographical distribution based on share of production capacity (Chinese percentages only) Mining: - Lithium 20% - Nickel <5% - Cobalt 0% - Graphite 70% Material processing: - Lithium 70% - Nickel 15% - Cobalt 79% - Graphite 95% Cell components: - Cathode 82% - Anode 95% Battery cells: - Batteries 85% China accounts for most lithium-ion battery patents Annual number of production-related lithium-ion patents filed, in thousands (Bar graph shows China now files the overwhelming majority lithium-ion battery patents, having overtaken Japan in 2016)

The markets don't believe the trade war is real, but also Canada doesn't know what they can offer Trump to avoid it. Complete chaos.
Canadian dollar and Mexican peso not currently at trade war levels - Jefferies The Canadian dollar and Mexican peso have clawed back part of their overnight losses, and are trading at levels that suggest Donald Trump's tariffs are not the beginning of a fully-fledged trade war, according to Jefferies' global head of FX. Markets are "definitely not panicking," said Brad Bechtel, global head of FX at Jefferies. "Even in currencies we are still only pricing in a small amount of concern around tariffs. The market is assuming it will all blow over as an agreement is reached," he said. Fentanyl 'flimsiest pretext possible' for tariffs on Canada, Freeland says Fentanyl crossing the US northern border is the "flimsiest pretext possible" for imposing tariffs on Canada, former deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland said on Monday "If border security were the issue, this could be solved in five minutes," said Freeland, who is running to replace Justin Trudeau as leader of the governing Liberal party. Her comments on MSNBC's Morning Joe point to confusion among Canadian leaders about what they can offer to satisfy President Donald Trump and avert a trade war, after pledging to spend C$1.3bn (US$887mn) on bolstering border security.

In case you were wondering if that new show on Hulu about the Troubles in Ireland is CIA propaganda, the answer appears to be yes

www.counterpunch.org/2019/05/02/a...
Patrick Keefe does not write about what he did that day in May 2011. But if his normal routine was followed he would have driven to the Pentagon across the Potomac from Washington DC, probably around the same time as the subpoena arrived at Boston College, parked his car and made his way to his office in the depths of that unnerving building. That was how his workday began in those days, as a special policy adviser to Defense Secretary and former CIA chief, Robert Gates, whose hire by Obama sent the message that employing one of George W Bush’s most loyal aides was testament to the first Black president’s loyalty to American values.

New hole in the ground incoming
No specific proposal yet from Sixers and Comcast for Market Street development, Parker says Mayor Cherelle L. Parker said her administration has not yet seen a specific proposal for a future development on East Market Street, but said she trusts that the newly teamed-up Sixers and Comcast will follow through on a commitment to revitalize the struggling neighborhood. The mayor said the basketball team and telecommunications giant have a "formal" partnership and a vehicle to develop the area, "We are going to be able to get this done We have to start the planning process," she said. "We don't have a proposal in front of us right now." Anna Orso

Can anyone explain why in 2005 Rendell was able to get SEPTA 2.5x more money than Shapiro just did, when their deficit was just 20% of what it is now?
At a similar time of peril for transit in 2005, Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell redirected $412 million in federal highway funds to keep buses and trains moving in the state for two years. SEPTA's then-$49.2 million deficit — roughly equivalent to today's gap in inflation-adjusted terms — was wiped out instantly.

The Democratic Party is the party of the rich
Graph from the Financial Times titled "Democrats fared better with the richest Americans than the poorest for the first time in decades" which shows Democratic-Republican margin in US elections by income group as a percent from 1960 until now. Between 2016 and 2020 there is a marked increase in vote share for the Democratic Party by the richest third, and a corresponding decrease by the poorest third.
