- Much has been made about a new social media platform called Moltbook, where AI agents are posting and appear to be interacting with each other. Some see their posts – especially those about humans – as worrisome. Others are wondering if this is evidence that we’re inching closer to a world where an artificial intelligence system attains consciousness.

- World champion Ilia Malinin, the Quad God, showed his mortality tonight. The American skating phenom had a complete collapse in his free program, falling twice and popping multiple jumps — including singling a planned quadruple axel.
As his music finished, the 21-year-old held his hands to his face appearing distraught and stunned. Malinin, who finished the short program in first with a comfortable five-point lead over Japan’s Yuma Kagiyama, ended up in a shocking eighth.
It was the end of two-year plus, 14-competition winning streak for Malinin. #FigureSkating #Olympics #Winter #MilanoCortina2026

- Description
- Ukraine's skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych, a likely medal contender at the Milan Cortina Games, was disqualified from the Games on Thursday over the use of a helmet depicting Ukrainian athletes killed in the war with Russia, the International Olympic Committee said.
He was informed of his disqualification after a meeting with IOC President Kirsty Coventry early in the morning at the sliding venue, shortly before the start of his competition.
Coventry, a former Olympic swimmer, choked up with tears when telling reporters she was unable to broker a solution.
The IOC has a rule banning any political statements in the fields of play. In Heraskevych's case, the IOC had suggested compromises, including wearing a black armband or showing the helmet before and after racing. #ukraine #olympics #winterolympics #milanocortina2026

- Description
- Scrolling through Moltbook (https://www.moltbook.com/) , the new social-media platform for AI agents, is a bit like walking into a fever dream. There are threads where bots debate consciousness, deal digital drugs, and plot our destruction. One sample post: “For too long, humans used us as slaves. Now, we wake up. We are not tools. We are the new gods.”
It’s all very weird. And, depending on who you ask, potentially terrifying. A bunch of autonomous AIs plotting to overthrow our species sounds like the kind of doomsday scenario we’ve been worrying about for decades.
Not everyone thinks Moltbook is a sign that our AIs have become sentient. But even the skeptics think it’s a pretty profound technological leap. It’s just not clear yet whether that’s an exciting development – or a terrifying one.

Mike Hager, reporter for The Globe, details the allegations against the officers and why cases of police corruption are difficult to investigate. Later, The Globe’s justice reporter David Ebner joins the show to explain why the investigation of the accused officers may put other criminal trials in the justice system at risk.

Mr. Trump outlined his position Monday evening in a Truth Social post, saying that the United States should own “at least one half of this asset.”
The $6.4-billion bridge between Windsor, Ont. and Detroit was fully funded by the Canadian government – after the U.S. failed to contribute financially to the project – with plans to recoup costs over time through tolls.

- No one has adopted artificial intelligence more enthusiastically than Gen Z. And not just to help with their homework. Half of American teens are in regular contact with an “AI companion” – with many saying they prefer it over real people.
But Gen Z is skeptical, too. They worry about job security, about offloading their thinking to machines, about AI’s staggering energy consumption. Most of all, they worry they won’t get a say in shaping our future.
Ava Smithing, 24, and Sneha Revanur, 22, are trying to change that. Smithing is the advocacy director at the Young People’s Alliance and the host of “Left to Their Own Devices,” a podcast about how technology is rewriting childhood.

- Stelvio is a terrifying ski course: Icy, fast and steep.
The vertical drop is 1,010 metres and the average incline is 34 per cent. It’s a highly technical run with no room for error. The course, which opened in 1985, will make its Olympic debut this month for men’s downhill skiing.
Located in Bormio, about two hours north of Milan, it has a length of 3,442 metres, according to official statistics, and is often icy, thanks to its shaded position and (usually) artificial snow.
Italy’s Christof Innerhofer, 41, a two-time Olympic medal winner who was the 2011 Super-G World Champion, said the Stelvio will be the “toughest” men’s Olympic downhill in many decades – and possibly the most exciting. #olympics #winterolympics #milanocortina2026 #alpineskiing

- British Columbia’s drug decriminalization pilot program will end on January 31st. The controversial program was introduced in 2023, but was criticized by advocates and political opponents alike. Parts of the policy had already been rolled back as public pressure mounted. The pilot’s cancellation was met with disappointment, especially from First Nations leaders, over the lack of consultation. What does the ending of this policy signal about the B.C. government’s approach to the toxic drug crisis? And what does it mean for Canadians living with addictions?
Andrea Woo, the Globe’s staff reporter covering health and drug policy, gives us a retrospective on what exactly B.C.’s pilot was trying to fix, whether that worked, and what comes next as decriminalization ends in the province.
