Since Twilight? Very very very much. Subtropical Goths are the funniest of them all. I ~work~ in a highschool is how I know. Team Edward here.

Why’s the Australian government so strict on drugs anyway? We’ve got legal prostitution, legal gambling, and a ton of great stoner rock and punk bands. But there’s no talk of legalization, decriminalization, or pill testing.

Prisons are worthless if they're empty and cops are worthless if they don't fill 'em

And you can't be a tough on crime politician boy if it's not extremely illegal to just do drugs or be homeless

Related to great barrier reef talk, one of Bolsanario's plans is to sell off the Amazon for strip mining, so don't expect much of a finger wag from our government for the butchery to come, their resource industry buds are in a goddamned slobbering frenzy for the dude

Precisely, we’re in a capitalist system, so if we want a country like Brazil to keep on keeping the rest of the planet afloat abatement wise we need to pay up.

Are you ... under the impression that the Amazon rainforest is going to be held for ransom like in a Moore era James Bond plot?

Is the problem that you think Brazil is way lower down on this list of world economies?

This seems contrary to what Morrison said about the magic of science starting with faith or whatever

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/oct/31/academics-will-have-to-pass-national-interest-test-for-public-funding-coalition-says

The Morrison government says academics who want to apply for research council funding will now have to explain how their proposed projects will “advance the national interest.”
...
He said the government will be providing $3bn in grants over the next four years, and the national interest test would “improve the public’s confidence” in why those grants are awarded

“The value of specific projects may be obvious to the academics who recommend which projects should receive funding but it is not always obvious to a non-academic,” Tehan said.

“If you’re asking the Australian taxpayer to fund your research you should be able to articulate how that research will advance the national interest.

It's because everyone lost their minds and put him in the headlines last time, getting Coulter on board and selling the tickets, but now no media outlets give a poo poo, which, coupled with getting extremely fired from everywhere is Milo's kryptonite

And I can't imagine Coulter would stay attached to a CONTROVERSIAL FIREBRAND who no one talks about when the entire transaction was plainly to claw back some relevancy
