Two on my shit list today:

Yellowstone alarmists/conspiracy theorists. There was a small hydrothermal explosion which is not a sign of imminent eruption.
People being weird about Breaking (aka breakdancing) being in the Olympics. How different is it, in principle, to rhythmic gymnastics, artistic swimming, figure skating etc.? In fact, it's literally more directly competitive -- it's a 1:1 dance-off!

I'm looking forward to the break dancing. Something a bit different.

Me too! Though the time zone difference definitely sucks for watching live.

Yeah. That's gonna be a challenge.
