Would highly recommend this trip (post pandemic of course). Stunning views and scenery.

A move in the right direction, but when you look at Japan's ranking for gender equality, they are 120th so there is a LONG way to go.

Completely agree with Naomi on this. Players should be free to choose their platform for communication. Demanding that they make these public appearances is ridiculous. The sporting spectacle she provides on court for fans is more than enough.

"I'm sorry, you paid what for this?"

"1.5 million, darling."

"I want a divorce" (*hard slap in the face)

Signs that policy makers are finally starting to think laterally. Although very late to the party, this kind of creativity should be welcomed.

Posted in: Japan witnesses total eclipse of super moon See in context

This picture has really eclipsed my expectations.

Was really a tremoondous spectacle.

At least it helped to distract from the lunar-tics in power making ridiculous decisions on a daily basis.

(Yes, my Netflix special is coming out soon).

Posted in: Amazon to buy MGM, studio behind James Bond and 'Shark Tank' See in context

This will help Amazon to catch up with Netflix and Disney in terms of content (acquired back catalogue), but I get the feeling this acquisition is because Jeff wants to say, "The name's Bezos. Jeff Bezos", at the next annual shareholder meeting ;-)

Posted in: Jeff Bezos says will pass baton to new Amazon CEO on July 5 See in context

Of course Bezos won't really be going anywhere. This is just a transfer in name only. He'll retain all the decision-making and strategy. I think the problem Amazon might have is becoming too big, with too many interests.

Posted in: Record low number of pregnancies reported in Japan in 2020 See in context

Japan is way below the replacement fertility rate required just to maintain a population, let alone increase it. At current projections it'll be less than 20 million by 2100. Could the last one please turn off the lights? (Or start having babies!)

“Considering” LOL

They will need several months of meetings, deliberations, and deep contemplation before any decision is made. Don’t hold your breath.

These half-baked SOEs do not work.

Pass legislation allowing for full lockdowns.

Enforce these lockdowns for two months.

Ramp up the vaccination drives in all wards (based on current levels this won’t be hard).

Cancel the Olympics.

You’re welcome.

put them on a plane and DEPORT them. 

Or why not have a fair and just immigration policy? And while we are at it, how about creating the nation's first NHRI?
