    I’m sure they’ll let the world and their Olympic teams in with open arms, but manage to keep people from NSW and Victoria out because of one case of COVID-32

    The university I work at here in Japan was chosen as one of the first workplaces in the country to give vaccines to students and staff with great fanfare from the govt. in the media starting on June 21st. After much fluffing about, we received an e-mail today saying the whole program is canceled before one vaccine is given and a message that said, "Please get a vaccine from your local government!" (Yeah, right, we are talking about next year at the earliest) I honestly cannot believe the incompetence on display. It is Benny Hill on steroids.
    Fuck the Olympics!
    All foreigners including permanent residents are banned from entering Japan even if they are married to a Japanese, have kids, a job etc. It is a fucking tragedy for a lot of people. I have students who can't get into the country and are studying online just waiting for permission to enter.
    VIPs and athletes are streaming into Japan as we speak. Bach the fluffybunny came into the country last week waving to people from his car like he was the fucking Queen.
    Fuck the Olympics and all it stands for!

    Well you’ll be happy to know that the exalted premier of Qld Pallachook will be there. According to her it would be a “disaster” if she wasn’t. Must be words of comfort for those with family who are barred from entering. I’m hoping Brisbane doesn’t win the games. Not because of Pallachook but it would be hilarious if Brisbane didn’t win despite her essential presence.

    I'd like the current government to personally take on the liability for the massive debt Qld will incur for this ridiculous vanity project. bet they wouldn't be so blasé about spending public money on white elephants then.

    Just hope there's plenty of infrastructure to design and build between now and booboo's retirement.

    @act-crusader Looking forward to 11 years of "London/Sydney ready to host the games again if Brisbane pull out" headlines.

    A Ugandan weightlifter who went missing on Friday, after he did not qualify for the Tokyo Olympics, has been found in a town about 100 miles away from his training camp.

    Julius Ssekitoleko, 20, was scheduled to fly home to Uganda last Tuesday, but he went missing from his hotel room in the Osaka prefecture of Japan on Friday, when he was scheduled for a daily COVID test. He left a note at the time, saying he wished to stay in Japan and work. Police had since been searching for him.

    Ugandan Weightlifter Found 100 Miles from Olympic Training Camp After He Went Missing in Japan

    Surprised they found him so quickly to be honest.

    So easy to blend in.

    I see you’ve been to Roppongi on the weekend.

    He had had a big chance and blew it by go to Mie. Dumb fuck.

    Yank chicks lost the kicky ball stuff to Sweden 3-0.

    Getting some Twitter stick because of some opinion pieces saying how easy it would be for them.

    It's been all Australia thus far, with the Football Ferns only defending. Australia have now opened the score: 1 - 0.

    And now NZ finally in Aussie half ...

    Seems NZ doesn't have a coach. Lots of vision of the Scandozzie, but it seems our girls coach themselves.

    2 - nil all of a sudden
