Ten years on from one of the most bitter legal battles in Britain's green energy sector, Dale Vince is still not mincing words. In a recent podcast appearance, the Ecotricity founder called Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk a "bad man running a bad company."What Happened: Tesla proposed a collaboration with Ecotricity to boost EV charging infrastructure in the UK. The companies signed a non-disclosure agreement, and Ecotricity shared sensitive lease information with Tesla. However, it then turned into what Vince regards as an ambush, as he indicated in an interview with Novara Media.One Sunday evening in 2015, Vince's colleague Simon Crowfoot received an email from Tesla. It was intended for a different Simon at Tesla, outlining a three-pronged plan to undermine Ecotricity: pressure landlords to breach contracts, launch ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

Musk could lose billions of dollars depending on how spat with Trump unfolds
President Donald Trump has adopted a peculiar and dangerous pattern in his second term, wrote Amanda Shendruk and Catherine Rampell for The Washington Post in an analysis published on Friday: moving to "delete" entire categories of people he doesn't like or want to acknowledge from federal data whenever possible."For example, when the Defense Department was asked to cull all DEI-related content from its websites, it removed approximately 26,000 images," they wrote. "A list of the deleted photos was given to the Associated Press. About 19,000 of them included descriptions, and our analysis found that 4 out of 5 depicted women, people in the LGBTQ+ community and racial minorities."Almost half of the deleted images included racial minorities, the report found."This is part of a broader campaign to delete the statistical and visual evidence of undesirables, or at least those who may not fit into President Donald Trump’s conception of the new American 'golden age,'" they wrote. "Entire demographics are being scrubbed from records of both America’s past and present — including people of color, transgender people, women, immigrants and people with disabilities. They are now among America’s 'missing persons.'"All of this comes at a moment when the Trump administration is also seeking to rename and redefine everything around him, changing the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America," undoing the military's decision to take Confederate names off of bases, and most recently moving to strip the names of civil rights leaders like Harvey Milk and Harriet Tubman from Naval ships."Everyday Americans who happen to be nonwhite have been deleted from federal datasets and indexes designed to inform government preparations for emergencies. Some government mapping tools that involve race have been taken down entirely," the report continued. "In response to an executive order banning DEI, some federal agencies now forbid the recognition of Black History Month and employee affinity groups. And keywords such as 'Black,' 'ethnicity' and 'indigenous' have appeared on lists of banned words for public communications and scientific grants."Even poor people appear to be being marked for deletion, Shendruk and Rampell wrote: the administration fired the Health and Human Services team responsible for calculating poverty guidelines, and eliminated the Social Security Administration's Disability Analysis File. "Perhaps if we never define or quantify poverty, the administration seems to believe, poor people would cease to exist — and therefore would no longer be entitled to safety-net services," they wrote.All of this, they wrote, is one of the least popular things the administration is doing, with polls overwhelmingly showing opposition to removing diversity and keywords acknowledging it from websites, State Department reports, or posters on government buildings."And why would Americans support this?" they concluded. "Most people see themselves in at least one of these groups — and they want to be seen by their government, too."

Supreme Court Sides With DOGE In Social Security, Records Cases Authored by Matthew Vadum via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),The Supreme Court handed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) two big wins late on June 6 in its effort to reduce the size of the federal government.The U.S. Supreme Court in Washington on June 3, 2025.Madalina Vasiliu/The Epoch TimesThe nation’s highest court issued the two unsigned rulings at the same time.One order removed a block on DOGE staffers accessing sensitive data at the Social Security Administration.Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented in the case known as Social Security Administration v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees.The other new order, in U.S. DOGE Service v. CREW, formally blocked lower court orders requiring DOGE to respond to freedom of information requests in a pending lawsuit.That order came after Chief Justice John Roberts on May 23 issued an administrative stay temporarily blocking the lower court orders.President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14158 on Jan. 20, renaming the United States Digital Service as the United States DOGE Service and creating an advisory body that recommends cost-cutting measures for federal agencies.The executive order directed the entity to “implement the President’s DOGE Agenda, by modernizing Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity.” Tyler DurdenFri, 06/06/2025 - 21:45

The policy is alienating, counterproductive and racist – and it isn’t the flex that Trump thinks it isTrump’s new travel ban: the countries chosen and how it differs from the last oneI’m not much for horror movies, but I have just read that the film Black Phone 2 “will creep into cinemas” in October and that, compared to the original, it’s supposed to be a “more violent, scarier, more graphic” film. I’ll pass on the movie, but that description seems pretty apt to what living under this Trump administration feels like: a gratuitously more violent sequel to a ghoulish original.Consider the Muslim ban. Back in late 2015, candidate Donald Trump called for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on”. He signed the first version of the Muslim ban on 27 January 2017, and protests erupted at airports across the nation at the revival of a national policy, similar to the Chinese Exclusion Act, that bars entry of whole swaths of people based on our national prejudices. It took the Trump administration three attempts at crafting this policy before the supreme court tragically greenlit it. Continue reading...

As the video game industry gets more popular (and more profitable) with each passing year, so do Hollywood's insatiable hunger and shadow rapidly expand over it. It appears that every popular IP eventually gets its own film or TV adaptation, and a logical question arises as a result: Are they really necessary?Whether we like it or not, adaptations of games are on the riseJust recently, we got notified of two major adaptations of established video game IPs, to be handled by A24 and Blumhouse in the form of the Elden Ring and Phasmophobia films.The first one is supposedly being made in collaboration with Elden Ring's publisher Bandai Namco, who has been hellbent on making Elden Ring as big of a franchise as it can be from the very moment it was announced. Phasmophobia hasn't had that much of a franchising drive behind it, nor was it as big as Elden Ring, but it seems that it was big enough to warrant a horror flick from a studio known for churning out countless semi-decent or borderline horrible films in the genre.From an indie hit to a feature film, Phasmophobia has certainly come a long way. Image via Kinetic GamesAnd these aren't the only (recent) examples. Until Dawn got adapted into a movie with nearly no one from the original cast in it, nor any semblance of the source game's story. The Last of Us TV show, made by the titan HBO, got its second season and, as a polar opposite to Until Dawn, stuck to its source material too closely and lost over half of its viewership as a result. The former has a 5.8 rating on IMDB, but still seemed to make back its money, which is something at least.Video game movies have been a fact of life ever since the gaming industry started climbing the ranks of profitable entertainment ventures, attaining a sour reputation in the early years for being too cheap or too bad or oftentimes both.Then they largely stopped for a while before making a comeback, with some success stories along the way. Hollywood and other media saw the success of gaming and wanted a pieceFilm adaptations of games always appeared to me as one industry's encroachment into the territory of another. Corporate interests trying to cover as much ground as possible and merge two forms of media that don't usually mix very well. The average cinemagoer isn't necessarily a player, nor can the experiences beloved by gamers be replicated in a medium that is by definition not interactive. We can also see these constant, unbearably annoying encroachments via events like the Summer Game Fest or The Game Awards, both of which are often hosted and attended by Hollywood stars who don't know anything about gaming.Creating video game movies, TV shows, and anime series is mere marketing to sell more of [insert product] and never provide actual value to the fanbase.Because remember: more is always better in the eyes of Hollywood executives, and the more people engaged with a product, the happier they are. It takes the focus away from what made any given gaming IP popular in the first place—the game—which, by the sheer nature of things, can never be the same as any on-screen adaptation.The Game Awards were one of the clearest examples of Hollywood's meddling in an industry it so desperately wants to capitalize on. Image via TGASo, to answer the question bluntly: no, video game adaptations are not necessary. More games are necessary. More good games, even more so. Franchising can still work and be done without having to go into other media and other audiences.Even on the rare occasions we do get solid adaptations, like say the Fallout TV show or Cyberpunk Edgerunners, it's usually something so far removed from the originals that it sort of becomes its own thing, wearing an "I was a video game once!" badge.The same can be said of vice-versa endeavors, but while screen adaptations of games take away from the experience, adapting a flick (such as the Indiana Jones movies) into a game can do wonders and add more depth, interactivity, and connection to the world.Even so, let movies be movies, and let games be games. Target audiences exist and need to make a return as a concept, since not everything has to be for everyone and cover every medium in existence.What do you think, dear readers? Should adaptations continue to be made, and are they really a necessary thing given how big gaming already is? Let us know below.The post Do games really need all these movie and TV adaptations? appeared first on Destructoid.

Feds Say California Bullet Train Has 'No Viable Path', Threaten To Pull $4 Billion Authored by Chase Smith via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),California’s long-delayed high-speed rail project is in default of federal grant agreements and may soon lose more than $4 billion in funding, the U.S. Department of Transportation said on June 4.A report released by the department accuses the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) of chronic mismanagement, unrealistic projections, and failure to meet key obligations, despite receiving billions in taxpayer money.The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) concluded that the bullet train has “no viable path” to finish the project’s first operational segment by 2033, the deadline outlined in federal agreements.In a letter to Ian Choudri, CHSRA’s CEO, the FRA stated that the agency intends to terminate two grants totaling roughly $4 billion unless California responds with a satisfactory corrective plan. CHSRA has up to 37 days to avoid a final termination.The letter outlines nine key findings from a 310-page compliance review, including a $7 billion funding gap, missed procurement deadlines, and what the FRA referred to as “substantially overrepresented” ridership forecasts.The FRA letter called the rail project “a story of broken promises and of waste of Federal taxpayer dollars.” It noted that what began as a proposed 800-mile system was “first reduced to 500 miles, then became a 171-mile segment, and is now very likely ended as a 119-mile track to nowhere.”Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the report justifies reprogramming the funds to other projects.“This report exposes a cold, hard truth: CHSRA has no viable path to complete this project on time or on budget,” Duffy said in a statement.“CHSRA is on notice—If they can’t deliver on their end of the deal, it could soon be time for these funds to flow to other projects that can achieve President Trump’s vision of building great, big, beautiful things again. Our country deserves high-speed rail that makes us proud—not boondoggle trains to nowhere.”The FRA report found that CHSRA has not yet laid a single mile of high-speed rail track, despite more than $6.9 billion in total federal funding since 2009. It also said that CHSRA continues to rely on unstable funding sources, such as California’s cap-and-trade auction revenues, to fill budget gaps.According to the FRA, CHSRA has already spent about $1.6 billion on change orders over the past two years and still faces legal disputes and procurement delays and hasn’t started construction on key segments.The state originally promised an 800-mile rail line connecting San Francisco and Los Angeles by 2020 for $33 billion. Estimates now range from $89 billion to $128 billion.In a statement last month, CHSRA said construction is active on 119 miles in the Central Valley and has created more than 15,000 jobs. The agency also said it was making progress on a 171-mile segment from Merced to Bakersfield.But FRA officials say even that scaled-back version may be unreachable. The agency noted that CHSRA’s internal inspector general found no credible plan to close the current $7 billion gap for the Merced-Bakersfield stretch.A CHSRA Authority spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email that they “strongly disagree” with the FRA’s conclusions, which they said are “misguided and do not reflect the substantial progress made to deliver high-speed rail in California.”“We remain firmly committed to completing the nation’s first true high-speed rail system connecting the major population centers in the state,” the spokesperson said. “While continued federal partnership is important to the project, the majority of our funding has been provided by the state. To that end, the Governor’s budget proposal, which is currently before the Legislature, extends at least $1 billion per year in funding for the next 20 years, providing the necessary resources to complete the project’s initial operating segment. The Authority will fully address and correct the record in our formal response to the FRA’s notice.”The compliance review concluded that continued federal support would not achieve the goals of the High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail Program. The FRA said it may redirect unspent funds from the grants to other infrastructure projects and is not currently seeking repayment of the funds already used.Reuters contributed to this report.

While President Donald Trump's executive orders have previously ruffled political and ideological feathers, some of them have also positively influenced the financial markets. Case in point is the uranium sector. Last month, Trump signed a sweeping executive order aimed at rebuilding America's nuclear energy capacity while also reducing dependency on foreign-sourced uranium. The move marks the biggest federal intervention in nuclear power policy in decades, subsequently reinvigorating uranium producers.Indeed, the underlying commodity has represented one of the hottest segments in the equities arena recently. For example, Cameco Corp (NYSE:CCJ) – the world's largest publicly traded uranium company – is up over 29% in the trailing month since June 5. Smaller entities in the space, such as Uranium Energy Corp. (AMEX:UEC), have also printed double-digit percentage spikes during the aforementioned period.Both enterprises – along with several other companies – make up the portfolio of Sprott Uranium Miners ETF (NYSE:URNM). Owned and managed by global asset manager Sprott Inc. (NYSE:SII), the exchange-traded fund represents one of the few U.S.-listed ETFs which features dedicated exposure to uranium miners and physical uranium. According to Sprott's overview document, 83.8% of URNM's weighting is centered on uranium and related equities, while the rest is allocated to physical uranium.Beyond direct and convenient exposure to a rarefied arena, the Sprott Uranium Miners ETF facilitates broad exposure to an often choppy market. While uranium stocks are currently enjoying a wave of bullish momentum thanks to the aforementioned political catalyst, the sector frequently incurs price volatility due to thin trading volumes, lack of transparent spot pricing and sensitivity to news and government policy.By distributing the risk across multiple names in the sector, investors can gain exposure to uranium while reducing reliance on any one particular entity. Just as importantly, thanks to the fund's underlying diversity, this attribute fosters a more stable and interpretable backdrop for technical analysis.Utilizing Price Action To Assess The Market Behavior Of The URNM ETFAt its ...Full story available on Benzinga.com
