> “We have recently discontinued certain older versions of Creative Cloud applications and and a result, under the terms of our agreement, you are no longer licensed to use them,” Adobe said in the email. “Please be aware that should you continue to use the discontinued version(s), you may be at risk of potential claims of infringement by third parties.”
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)
Ugh
@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
 
@GodEmperorDune This is crazy.
@TimStone And likely behind the reason for the end of life.
Don't want to give royalties to Dolby no more, so rather just kill the product and screw over their customers.

Alabama Senate rejects exceptions for rape and incest in near-total abortion ban 21 to 11. Singleton is now filibustering the bill. #alpolitics
Gross
 
@TimStone Seems like a great way to have any women move out of state.
 
@TimStone what about other Ride share services? might want to say "Fuck Uber" and go to someone else who respects you for your work
 
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
> Rosenstein, in a speech before the Greater Baltimore Committee's (GBC) annual meeting…
???
In what way is getting up there and saying that not the same thing as any speech Comey has given for money? lmao
 
@MadScientist and charge the subscription separately for both
man that would be a dick move
Deadpool on Hulu, Cap being told off for swearing on Disney+
 
@Memor-X All that will do is push people back to piracy.
The whole point of cord cutting was to pay less for your entertainment.
Chopping it up piecemeal means consumers just say the whole thing is too complicated, and go back to the good ol' standby that has everything: piracy.
 
12:37 AM
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 🤷‍♂️
After Sarah Sanders was told she was not welcome at the Virginia restaurant, its owner was doxxed, threatened. The community stood strong, however, and the Red Hen rebounded. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/i-own-the-red-hen-restaurant-that-asked-sarah-sanders-to-leave-resistance-isnt-futile/2019/05/14/125b4742-75a8-11e9-b7ae-390de4259661_story.html?utm_term=.8c504eaf9fcf #Recharge
 
@TimStone i would be saying "how is this news? you have 5 months left to your 2nd extended deadline" but this is Brexit, not sure if she's wanting 3 more months after October
 
I assume she's trying to stave off a no confidence vote
 
@TimStone David Cameron knew what was coming, and got out of there.
 
@TimStone next QAnon post will imply that the suicide was a hit job because of how on the point QAnon is
 
@Frank Lighting the match and never looking back
 
12:46 AM
@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.
 
but would not be the first time someone(s) target a group diagnosed with somethiing *looks at EA's FIFA Slot Machines*
@TimStone i saw this on Last Week Tonight last week. lethal injection are fucked up by themselves before you get into the whole regulated use of drugs
@Frank i would like to see that too
maybe the entire country if the other states follow suit
 
1:03 AM
@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
 
True though the large portions of farms in this case are people using the "farm" status as a tax shelter
Like how the President has goats on his golf course in New Jersey
 
1:18 AM
@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

GOP senators propose congressional term limits http://hill.cm/HVNq8B4
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
"Worst" state revealed in new U.S. News and World Report rankings http://hill.cm/lf88jcl
> The list determined that Washington, New Hampshire and Minnesota are the best states while Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana are the worst.
 
if i lived in the worst state, i would simply move
 
Alabama is one of the worst, sure nothing recently happened there to make them deserve that :thinking:
 
4:05 AM
unemployed but can still buy crypto currency instead what you owe to the courts

This seems worrisome. An American official is now leaking to the NYT that the intelligence does *not* merit the current war planning against Iran, and says the Trump administration is actively working to draw Iran into war: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/14/world/middleeast/trump-iran-threats.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage

@Memor-X occupancy doesn’t matter, many of trump tower rooms are owned or rented by embezzlers who don’t really care what it costs and don’t live there

@Kevin without reading the article, I have seen similar statements in my twitter feed linking to reputable sites.

2:39 PM
> 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/
 
@TimStone but don't they already have one which is where all the nuclear waste has been coming from that created it's mascots?
 
They also have to power Walt's cryochamber, it's true
 
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
 
@MBraedley to be fair (and I really should have mentioned it) I didn't even load the site cause work pc and a principle against supporting conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxers and just basically any site peddling pseudo-science

@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.

oh no
 
3:44 PM
@TimStone At least they chose emojis that are appropriate to show on food. Imagine if they went with smiling pile of poo or eggplant
 
user15026
@Unionhawk that's often easier said than done
 
@Ash (yes this was my I suppose poorly made point)
that it's definitely not as simple as "well, this state ranks #50 in whatever, I will just move to rhode island or whatever"
 
user15026
@puzzlepiece87 look at the large contingent of women (mainly white) who voted for Trump, etc
 
@Ash Exactly.
 
4:15 PM
Good
> Wilson slipped his victims stupefying drugs in a deliberate plot to rape them while filming the attacks on his cellphone. In some cases, he sent images to his victims.
😡
> It was that awful relationship that exposed the ByWard Market serial rapist. Neighbours called 911 in March 2015 after Wilson beat his then-pregnant girlfriend so badly she ended up in an intensive-care unit where she delivered stillborn the next day.
Why am I only hearing about this guy now? This is in my city
Disgusting
They're recommending he's supervised until he's like 60

Cuomo speaking and getting a bit...weird. Paraphrasing but: “I can’t refer to a terminal as ‘sexy.’ That opens other questions. Is the terminal male or female? What’s its orientation? How do you touch the terminal?”
1. What the hell
2. I legit thought we time-warped because I had no idea what was going on here
But I guess they turned the iconic TWA terminal into a hotel?
 
hey andy you missed "what the hell is wrong with you" in the list of questions
 
user15026
@TimStone dude just....close your mouth so the words stop falling out please
 
Sandra Lee is rumoured to be separated from him which in light of gestures wildly seems like an appropriate decision tbh
 
he's just reading from his editor's notes on a draft that just say "andy don't say this, this is dumb"
 
BTW Gorka is extremely mad that checks notes the rat teacher from the children's cartoon Arthur is gay and getting married
 
6:05 PM
good
every time gorka gets mad his head expands
 
user15026
@TimStone really? That's hilarious that he's mad over that
 
Next on Dr. Pimple Popper
 
that's the only scientific explanation I can come up with anyway
 
@Ash He called it a "war for our culture", which is odd because for starters it's an anthropomorphic rat
 
ah but you see, the lyric "hey what a wonderful kind of day" clearly refers to capital W capital C, Western Culture
 
6:09 PM
.@BetoORourke currently livestreaming haircut in El Paso
eyes narrow But why?
Guy walks in during livestream — "Hey, I need a haircut" — and notices O'Rourke. "Oh, you're the guy on TV? Governor? Mayor?" O'Rourke explains who he is. Ahhh, guy says. "You're better-looking in person."
 
user15026
@TimStone ....for whose culture? WHY? What? aaaaargh
 
Okay but that's legitimately hilarious
@Ash Coming from a person who doesn't even know sidewalks are not for parking it's just an extremely dumb and pathetic attempt at outrage
 
user15026
@TimStone yeah, it's lame
 
but also he means capital O Our here
because he knows his audience
 
White supremacists and men shopping for oversized hats who are susceptible to white supremacist arguments nods

all three of these are just the same person in seb gorka mind you

user15026
eeeeergh
 
🤔
 
user15026
Like dude, it's a cartoon rat you're making a lot of assumptions that this is related to your culture such as it is
 
@TimStone let's see... not greater AND not less = ==, youtube.com/watch?v=wvJiYrRcfQo
 
6:15 PM
Oh right this reminds me that whoever had their heated gaming moment on Arthur
 
see that's the real proof that it's actually about capital Western Culture
arthur is actulaly pewdiepie
it all makes sense
(no it doesn't)
 
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
 
this sounds like 2003
did we secretly elect dick cheney
 
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?
 
@TimStone In 2003, we thought we had reached the nadir of presidential intelligence. Oh how wrong we were.
 
6:23 PM
I guess maybe it's just a flex that they can be as horrible as possible without consequence
 
6:38 PM
@MBraedley I mean it was still as bad as everyone thought, people just want to believe that it was a more sane time back then
it wasn't, but unironic "miss me yet" is in a way comforting
to believe that the current moment is uniquely stupid
 
6:58 PM
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?” Pelosi said the House Sergeant at Arms was present if necessary. The two laughed about it, per two witnesses

Honestly every interaction in Congress should be a potential to be told to go f yourself
Maybe people would do a little less to make that an acceptable outcome then!
 
> “Pirates threaten the open seas, and the same is possible in space. In this same way, I believe we too must now recognize the necessity of a Space Force to defend the nation and to protect space commerce and civil space exploration.”
 
lmao
 
it would be so much easier to shut down those hypothetical space pirates at the point where they develop and try to start their rockets
The only halfway-plausible space pirate would be Elon Musk gone mad
 
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
 
@TimStone I quite like his SpaceX stuff in general, not so much the Tesla stuff
@TimStone you're thinking Firefly Reavers?
 
8:43 PM
Yeah I just think he's definitely going to get bored, smoke some weed, and strap on an eyepatch in a SpaceX rocket before this is all said and done

@TimStone Daaamn
 
8:59 PM
Unreal.
Democrats™
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."
Please tell the President all the times you weren't allowed to Post
Also the VitaCoco social media person peed(?) in a jug to own a blue check. I appreciate this is not strictly news but The Brands™ are moving awfully quickly towards tearing out some random person's heart on stream so just watch yourselves out there, I guess
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.
Cool cool

@TimStone bruh you started it!
 
Minor details
 
@TimStone another venue to troll the administration, great
 
@TimStone oh no
the thing we wanted this whole time may actually occur
 
My latest: The administration wants to reimburse the Taliban for its travel expenses--transportation, food, lodging etc--incurred attending peace talks. Pentagon officials have already moved money for that purpose and they want Congress to ok more. http://www.rollcall.com/news/congress/administration-wants-reimburse-talibans-travel-expenses

Absolutely not
 
9:44 PM
@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
Since like, it was this administration who tripped into this conclusion
 
I mean I don't know why we're reimbursing them though that seems kind of dumb
Us not dropping bombs seems like a net gain for everyone idk
But yes
It will get dumb
 
@TimStone I would demand reimbursement for meetings with the Trump administration
 
…Alright fair
 
@TimStone you know, I'm not going to worry about, what, maybe ten thousand dollars?
 
I assume it's got to be substantially more if they needed approval for additional funds
They're still making billions in opium trade too so idk
 
10:04 PM
Goodness. My colleague @MSuchkov_ALM says it is true, that Putin made Pompeo wait for him for 3 hours https://twitter.com/olex_scherba/status/1128559532710551552

Yep!
 
I hope that was at least millions of dollars worth of fraud.
