Apparently NBC was getting clips like this from their broadcast taken down, so in comes the CBC, off the top rope.
Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

There are people who haven’t quite loomed up the way they may, but who, in small roles, like Catherine O’Hara, do stuff you’ve never seen before, like what she did in BEETLEJUICE. I mean, she’s an amazement. (1992)

This is really good, and with the exception of eight words, remarkably restrained. But those eight words made laugh out loud.

I know everything that’s wrong with the Olympics, and I may just be getting soft in my old age, but I think there’s something kinda nice about how the opening ceremony is this goofy mutually celebratory thing that an awfully big chunk of the world gets to watch at roughly the same time.

Wasn’t the whole Sir Kier Value Proposition™️ that you might not agree with him on everything, and he may be an empty suit utterly devoid of principles, but at least he is a studiously competent empty suit, and his team of responsible adults will replace That Tory Clown Show?
Home Secretary confirms that the UK government did not formally trigger the break clause in the asylum seeker relocation treaty with Rwanda until Dec 2025. (Rwanda says that delay means the UK owes £100m in payments due under the treaty).

“Malcolm, I have something to tell you, but you have to promise that you won’t do your whole sweary-yelly thing…”
So Yvette Cooper just... forgot that ending the Rwanda scheme required paperwork and not just saying something to the media

Practice point: if someone like a boss refuses to reduce oral instructions to writing and you have concerns, send the boss-type-person an email (or letter but keep a copy) setting out the directions as you understand them, and explicitly put the onus on them to send you any changes or corrections.
@grundrza.bsky.social goes into detail about censors avoiding putting directives in writing, making accountability harder to accomplish.

Dick van Dyke and Mel Brooks: still funny and entertaining, plus Statler and Waldorf can go off like never before.
Either that, or song-and-dance man Channing Tatum.

Current MLB player who would be the best host for The Muppet Show? Pushing in all my chips on Fernando Tatis, Jr. Handsome, bilingual, charismatic, doesn’t seem to take himself seriously and there’s a non-zero chance he can hold a tune
