With more than 100k tweets, #“I don’t want to pay money to (public broadcaster) NHK anymore” is now trending in Japan. Why is NHK facing this wave of antipathy? Users criticize that in the current debate on links between LDP and Unification Church 1/7 #もうＮＨＫに金払いたくない
NHK is trying to keep the issue on a very low profile and once it is mentioned “by the way”, coverage is taking sides with LDP by just reporting official statements without any proper contextualization. On top of that, parliamentary debates on the issue are “hidden” by simply 2/7
not live-broadcasting it (as done usually). In fact, #agendacutting like this has happened repeatedly in the past. I documented one case in the run-up to the #TokyoOlympics when NHK news cut the #Covid19 risk in Tokyo. The Games had to be saved from cancellation/postponement 3/7

The 3-day finale of #yyccc 2017-2021 was lit!!! It’s hard to believe the writers were able to get so many great things resolved. Also, so many cool things have been set up for the next show: 2021-2025 (which will start filming on Oct 18). Here’s my recap of the highlights: 1/24
The finale opened w emotion: 1) #yyc-based members of the #TokyoOlympics/#TokyoParalympics #teamcanada were honored. 2) tributes to the retiring members of #yyccc, @DruhFarrell @EWoolleyWard8 @ChahalGeorge @Ward4Ward1 @CouncillorKeats & @nenshi, induced tears & good vibes. 2/24
After almost exactly 4yrs of work initiated by my learning about #BenefitDrivenProcurement @FCSSAAoffice’s AGM right after the 2017 #yycvote, getting an NoM passed by #yyccc, & development shepherded by @momentumcalgary’s @HareCourtney, we’ve approved a great policy!!! 3/24

Why smaller nations tend to win more medals compared to opulent larger countries with wealth and manpower, is a subject that is being debated by sociologists and evolutionary biologists.

It is a matter of sorrow for our country, that some people of our country, despite living in India & despite being Indian, lick the soles of Pakistan. There are some people in our country who were supporting Pakistani players instead of supporting Indian players in #TokyoOlympics
Along with this, our Indian players who have reverence for their religion and gods and goddesses, were commenting on them. And at the same time the Sanghi players of our country are bringing to light the name of the country, and on the other hand the leftists and atheists and
other people are defaming the country in the name of movement in the country. The leftists of our country who are making indecent remarks against our players are giving violence to the country. And on the other hand, the Sanghi players are making the country proud by giving
1. #NeerajChopra: The Poster Boy of Toxic Masculinity and Brahmanical Patriarchy
Though Indians are celebrating this deplorable development in #TokyoOlympics there is a flip side to India getting gold, especially in Javelin throw. This is how.

2. Firstly, to prize gold above other elements is Elementism. They are all just beautiful elements. To box them in better and worse, shiny and briny is the result of the Brahmanical patriarchy, that is the root of all evil in this world.
3. It is no wonder that India, a country which gave birth to Brahmanical patriarchy is also the country which prizes gold so much. Only the Middle Eastern countries achieve equality with gold as they also use the metal in toilets.

The current policy of "securing medical resources and ensuring a system where those in need can receive medical care" also consists of abandoning those with minor illnesses. The limited medical resources were also taken away by the Olympics.

The only reason why the government has not declared a nationwide state of emergency at this time is that they do not want to admit that the Olympics were a failure. Even after the Olympics are over, the government's countermeasures against infectious diseases will remain sloppy.
