Seth Meyers reluctantly takes A Closer Look at Trumps Davos speech

Mashable - 5 hours 36 min ago

Donald Trump gave a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday and Seth Meyers used his "A Closer Look" segment on Late Night to reluctantly recap what happened.

"Donald Trump addressed world leaders in Davos and gave a very normal speech," Meyers said, "to which he repeatedly confused Greenland with Iceland, called windmills 'losers,' said the U.S. gives Canada freebies, mocked the president of France for wearing sunglasses, made up a new country called Aberbajan, and told the crowd in Switzerland, where the majority people speak German, that without the United States, they would be speaking German, which is what they already speak.

"For more on this, it's time for 'Seth Stares at the Ceiling and Hopes the Bad News Goes Away.'"

Like fellow late night host Stephen Colbert, Meyers noted that the U.S. president has repeatedly mixed up Iceland and Greenland in Davos, despite threatening to take ownership of Greenland (autonomous Danish territory) not Iceland (Nordic country).

"He can't even remember the name of the territory he wants to conquer," said Meyers. "Hold on, I'm going to try staring at the ceiling again."

Stephen Colbert mocks Trumps Greenland/Iceland mix-up

Mashable - 6 hours 7 min ago

Donald Trump really wants Iceland. Sorry, Greenland. We think?

The president repeatedly confused the two at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Wednesday, despite spending the majority of his time of late threatening to take ownership of Greenland (autonomous Danish territory) not Iceland (Nordic country).

"Dear Lord, he's on an imperial conquest, and he can't even remember what he wants to conquer," responded Stephen Colbert on Wednesday night's Late Show.

During his monologue, the host noted that Trump's repeated Greenland-Iceland mix-up was pointed out by NewsNation White House correspondent Libbey Dean on X, to which White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, "His written remarks referred to Greenland as a 'piece of ice' because that's what it is. You're the only one mixing anything up here."

"That is some Grade-A Big Brother propaganda," said Colbert. "As George Orwell wrote in 1984, 'War is peace, freedom is slavery, Karoline Leavitt is a dumbass.'"

The Daily Show on Trumps Greenland demands at Davos: "Just tell that man no"

Mashable - 6 hours 35 min ago

Like fellow late night hosts Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel, The Daily Show's Josh Johnson marked one year of Donald Trump's second term as president with a look at his recent appearances — both at the World Economic Forum in Davos and a White House paper-tossing press conference.

Johnson especially looked at Trump's second year aim: U.S. ownership of Iceland Greenland. The president told Davos on Wednesday, "It's the United States alone that can protect this giant mass of land, this giant piece of ice, develop it, and improve it, and make it so that it's good for Europe, and safe for Europe, and good for us."

"That's right, it's huge, undeveloped, in a strategic location," said Johnson. "It's like if your grandma had a Manhattan apartment she bought in 1950 — once she dies in it, you're going to push her down the trash chute and live like a king."

SEE ALSO: Stephen Colbert offers a bleak recap of Trump's first year back in office

But Johnson finished up with a strong statement on saying "no" to the president, after reports emerged that Trump had both backed down on imposing tariffs and using military force to take control of Greenland at Davos and "formed the framework of a future deal" around the autonomous Danish territory.

"Maybe what Europe did here is a lesson for the rest of us, because Trump barged into Davos, like 'I want to own Greenland,' and Europe just said 'no,'" said Johnson. "And in just six hours, they worked him down from owning Greenland to concepts of a deal. So maybe saying no is something more of us in America might want to try instead of complying in advance. College presidents, law firms, media outlets, whoever keeps giving Trump that tacky gold shit to put on his walls, just tell that man 'no!'

The NYT Connections puzzle today is not too difficult to solve if you're a klutz.

Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that's captured the public's attention. The game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for today's Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable What is Connections?

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

NYT Strands hints, answers for January 22, 2026

Mashable - 6 hours 55 min ago

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you're always in a good mood.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.
