but doesn't that only work if you agreed to the new one which you do upon updating?
BREAKING: DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel concludes that the FDA lacks jurisdiction to regulate drugs used in executions — https://www.justice.gov/olc/opinion/file/1162686/download — a move that could allow states to try importing hard-to-get drugs from shady foreign suppliers. (h/t @washingtonpost)
@Memor-X The agreement at the time likely included that provision, but the issue stems from some component that Adobe licensed from Dolby that Dolby seems to be challenging
So Dolby could say "It doesn't matter what Adobe said because they were wrong", basically
Rod Rosenstein on James Comey: "But now the former director is a partisan pundit, selling books and earning speaking fees while speculating about the strength of my character and the fate of my immortal soul. I kid you not. That is disappointing." http://hill.cm/hc1cBNs https://t.co/RMgHbzy3S1
Yeah, I don't actually care about missing out on the Disney-Disney content but it'd still be better if they merged it all into Hulu even if they raised the price a little
Since already having a Hulu account I'd be much more inclined 🤷♂️

@GodEmperorDune "But like many who are drawn to QAnon, it tragically appears that he suffered from serious and untreated mental health issues." i didn't know this, i thought that many who are drawn to QAnon are just plain stupid
USDA censuses break farms down by income.
The single largest category of farms by income? Those that sold less than $1,000 worth of products. As of 2012 that was 22%.
Nearly a quarter of US farms sell barely anything at all.
@Frank one of the things i hate about the various streaming services. at least when i buy DVDs from JB HiFi i'm not having to pay several fees every month because i like something that's from Funimation and something from Aniplex and something from whoever streams Vikings and something from whoever streams The Orvile and something from whoever streams Destination Flavor Japan
@TimStone fast forward to 2019 with the new tarriffs i wonder by how much those numbers rose
@fredley just think for the poor suckers who want to draw a dick on this
the voting booths are only 1 person wide. going to need to do a bit of work to draw it
not sure what year that image is from but i remember last election it was long
last election the minimum you needed to do was putting 1 in the top row for the party you wanted. this year the ads are saying you need to put the numbers 1-12 which is a omen because that image is 16 parties
just how many parties do we have for the lower house when "1" isn't enough anymore
Now THIS is a first: A senior administration official complains that our story abt GOP sens privately bashing Kushner's immigration performance has "kind of a bitchy tone." Hmm.
i am honestly surprised Republicans would come up with this idea who i would think would rather not want this for fear of loosing their seat no matter how they try to keep their base loyal

> Under the bill, which now goes to Republican Gov. Kay Ivey for her signature, an abortion would only be legal if the pregnant person’s life is at risk. A doctor who performs an abortion for any other reason could face up to 99 years in prison. Some say doctors will be too worried about criminal penalties to perform abortions even under those circumstances.
Walt Disney World has the right to build its own nuclear reactor, dating back to the 1960s. There's a push to change the law—but it might not be worth the effort, writes @RebeccaRennerFL: https://www.citylab.com/environment/2019/05/disney-build-nuclear-reactor-orlando-florida-legal-history/587950/
partially relatedly, I learned that the Teamsters represent mascot workers at disney parks which ??? (I don't understand why they aren't IATSE since I think other cast members are)
or maybe it's just one of the parks and IATSE has the other

@Frank Amazingly women are not a homogenous group, but rather think independently and form opinions. Being anti-abortion is a dumb opinion to have, but many women do think and come to that opinion just like men.

so WH officials claim there's lots of intel about mounting threats from Iran, but...
– they won't specify the threats
– they won't provide evidence
– they won't put their name on the quotes
– nobody in Congress has seen the intel
– top allies are publicly refuting the assessment
It's kind of crazy to me that they even bother with this because nobody believes it, just say you hate Iran and be done with it
@Unionhawk Yeah but in 2003 we pretended like everyone involved wasn't dumb for some reason but now the people involved are so dumb that's not even worth the effort
Also completely unrelated but the whole point of these insane laws like in Alabama are obviously to overturn Roe v. Wade, they've admitted as much, but when you have Pat Robertson looking at your law and going "🤔" I feel like maybe you jumped the evil shark?
Barr and Pelosi had an exchange this morning in front of Capitol. As they waited for Trump, Barr quipped to Pelosi: “Madam Speaker, did you bring your handcuffs?”

That's 100% going to happen but we seem to largely look the other way when rich people are doing the stealing so I still feel like it's a non-issue
But good on Ted Cruz for going full brain genius and suggesting some impoverished Somalis are going to trade in their gunboat for a washing machine rocket strapped together by the Rabbids

The official White House account "wants to hear about" stories of being "censored or silenced online."
Of course, on that forum, they would also like your email address and phone number to "keep you posted on President Trump's fight for free speech."

An unusual group on Air Force Two today: Vice President, Senate Majority Leader, and Chief Justice all on the plane. Rare to have that trio together, particularly on a flight.

@TimStone god, this is just going to become one of those because they tripped into a fairly sound conclusion there's just going to be like a "NO, WE NEED TO BOMB THEM INSTEAD OF TRYING TO TALK TO THEM" reaction
