WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW?

Go for it. Fuck the mothers. Not literally, of course. >.<;

But, I mean, I didn't see people complaining that Twilight was infringing on the name of a certain time of day (they should have, btw. Good luck searching for anything connected to that word ever. You're only going to get vampires. :sigh:)

I just had this idea publicly skewered by a group of mothers who thought I was talking about a baby food trademark...

In November I'm re-writing an old book of mine about the World of Food. Formerly, and randomly, it was named 'Pinfoot'. Had no reason to be called that, and unfood related. Bleh.
The new name I was going to use was 'Pabulum'

Why would they have a problem with Pabulum? Is it a name of a baby food brand somewhere? I don't buy baby food so I have no idea. Also, do you care what a bunch of obviously whiny sorts think? Are they your target audience? Do what feels right for you, it's your book.

e: Oops, sorry Double Post, good thing it's the Welp forum :p.

e2: Liberty replace twilight with crepuscular, then you can google to your heart's content about that lovely time of the day.

I'M FINISHED.

YEEEEESSSS.

50 Nerds of Grey

It's rare to come across such a good Twitter feed as this!

"'I've been a very bad girl,' she said, biting her lip. 'I need to be punished.'
'Very well,' he said and installed Windows 10 on her laptop."

"'Pleasure and pain can be experienced simultaneously,' he grinned, handing her a slice of pizza as they watched The Phantom Menace."

Both good points. Couple friends irl agree as well. They aren't the target market. I don't even get the baby food thing.
I like the name Pabulum. It is so fitting.

I'm not a writer so i don't really know how to title things properly, but speaking as a consumer "pabulum" sounds like latin gibberish. Like the title of an animal fable. Which isn't saying it's bad, it would just need a bit of research to understand what the book is about.

Call it Pabu-YUM. With the hyphen and the all caps.

Sorry too happy doing happy dance to answer you right now Sated.

Will get back to you once my legs give out.

Though the funniest part of this, and that's a long list of funny is he was supposedly ousted 4 days before he would have been eligible for his AUS$250,000 a year Prime Ministerial pension.

Nice timing Turny!

Right I've sat down now,

Yes Sated Malcolm is less of an ass than Tony. He's still an ass, he's a polly, but so much less. He's for equality, for decisive targets on climate change, for closing the gender gap and rolling out a nationwide actually useful broadband system. But he's also true believer in free market economics, and a successful businessman with a lean more toward the state than the community (voted to reduce people's access to welfare and for Coal Seam Gas exploration for example). He's a Liberal through and through though in the moderate camp and as a plus he's not a sexist homophobe, which can only be applauded. Not that we should ever have had one of those in the Lodge* anyway, but I digress.

I don't know that he'll go about changing much, the next election is only a year away, but he'll make sure everyone knows where he is headed if he wins, and it'll be towards a better CC scheme and marriage equality for starters, and possibly a republic as well. He's a pretty firm believer in that one too. I'm hoping he'll have a look at the tax system and give it a proper overhaul, not the pathetic bits and pieces system that Joe Hockey (our Treasurer) has been rolling out.

Also Australia's system is the same as the UK's, Westminster, so it's party driven not individual, but the Prime Minister does have more sway than others and he does lead policy. Though of course he has to accept if the majority lean the other way. That's democracy for you.

It's half past midnight here and I'm pouring myself a glass of bubbles, it's just that kind of day :).

*Australia's version of 10 Downing. Kirribilli House is the Chequers equivalent.

edit: ...and now this

First Dog Tony's Obit

Time for another glass, methinks.

Okay that... that is pretty fucking funny. Like I knew what was coming...

But I still laughed, loudly, obnoxiously, as I do.

Hey Aussies,

Is your new PM less of an ass than your old PM? The BBC says, "Many in his party dislike his support for climate change action and gay marriage", but support for climate change action and gay marriage sounds good to me. Then again, does it even matter what the one person thinks with how your politics are set up?

Sincerely,

A Pom.

Well yeah, they would. because it's not a set of principles developed in the fucking 50's.

And believe me, he's gonna feel the heat if he acts against climate change, not from people like me, from gas, oil and coal companies. I hope he does, I hope he can be the ... literally first ... good liberal PM.

The Liberal party being in at all has always been bad. Because they are, statistically speaking, the worst governing body in Australia, and each time you think they can't do worse, they do worse.

They have absolutely no economic fidelity, every time it's been labour who have scooped us out of that hole, and every time squawkers who don't know their shit say that same Grade one logic of "Labor started it!".

Like John Howard was an idiot, and hopeless with money. But he looks like a fucking diamond in the rough comparitive to our new leading stooge. In the three years they've been in office they've made huge tax cuts to further a bankless industry, made a fictitious budget emergency to scare the general public into agreeing that their corporate inductions with coal, gas and oil companies was going to save them, and largely put a huge dent in employment opportunities because surprise surprise, that's going to happen when you cut billions of dollars from education firms, medical institutes and other services to pay for a substance most of the world has stopped even using.

This isn't even going into how they've entirely taken over the media, and silenced every other voice against them, and have gone even further with a bill like ASIO (which thankfully, wasn't passed) to further silence their critics.

And don't get me started on their environmental comittee, which subsists of leading experts in the coal business and gas industries.

The Great Barrier Reef, yeah that thing?

THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS NOW!

Tony is simply a puppet, and we are --no joking-- run by corporate assholes in suits. This has become the case in less than three years.

If you guys get Donald Trump in you'll probably know the feeling I have now. Obama gets flak but maaaan has he done some good. I wish he could be our liberal party.

I hope if he gets Elected, that Turnbull undoes a lot of Tony's wrongs.

But I'd rather just we have Labour back, they aren't saints either, but they've saved us, a lot of times. The Global Financial Crises you guys had?

We didn't, and that was thanks to Gough Whitlam, one of the Labor party. What a twist, the Liberals are trying to smear his name now, too.

The fact the party is even still in office is appalling. We really need to make it a year by year thing.

If you want more info covered with comical hilarity. There's this channel. I myself commonly source from it.
