Le Guin's Legacy: A Show, Nature Breakthrough, Rogen's Praise

Boos erupted at the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Games opening ceremonies on Friday when Vice President J.D. Vance appeared on the stadium's big screen, according to a Time article. The reaction, which included jeers from the crowd of 65,000 people, occurred during what is traditionally a non-political event.

President Donald Trump, according to Time, seemed unfazed by the reaction, stating to reporters on Air Force One, "That's surprising because people like him." However, a YouGov poll released on February 6 indicated that Vance's reception in Europe may reflect broader sentiments toward the U.S.

In other news, President Trump's Board of Peace is scheduled to hold its inaugural meeting on February 19, as reported by Time. The board, which was unveiled at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month, will discuss the next stage of a ceasefire in Gaza and fundraising for the territory's reconstruction. The initial members include the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Bahrain, Pakistan, Turkey, Hungary, Morocco, Kosovo, Albania, Bulgaria, Argentina, Paraguay, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Indonesia, and Vietnam. However, many U.S. allies reportedly declined to join, fearing the board would undermine the United Nations and amid reports that permanent membership would require a $1 billion contribution within the first year.

In the entertainment world, Seth Rogen paid tribute to Catherine O'Hara at the Directors Guild Awards, hailing his "Studio" co-star as an "utter genius" and "nicest person," according to Variety. The Apple TV freshman series, which satirizes Hollywood, won a Directors Guild award for comedy series.

Meanwhile, an exhibition curated by Ursula K. Le Guin's son, featuring her first typewriter, is on display at Oregon Contemporary through February 8, as reported by Hacker News. The typewriter, described as "compact and impossibly heavy," comes from an era of word production that feels alien. The curator hoped visitors to "A Larger Reality" could experience the "residual magic" of the machine.

Finally, Nature News published a correction to an article on environmentally driven immune imprinting, which was originally published on January 28, 2026. The correction addressed an interchange of images in the original publication.

Super Bowl, Tipping, & Grocery Prices: The Economy's Big Game

Drawing from various sources, the perception of out-of-control tipping in America is only partially accurate. While "tipping fatigue" is real, data from a payment platform's analysis of nearly 90,000 transactions reveals that Americans are becoming more selective, with average tip percentages remaining consistent in everyday categories, but higher gratuities are being awarded for specialized services. This suggests a shift towards differentiated tipping based on service quality rather than a complete rejection of the practice.
