Good News Tuesday lands differently when the headliner is a famous Italian love arch collapsing on Valentine’s Day. You’re tuning in for the bright stuff and instead you get canned chili, an Olympic condom shortage, and a natural rock formation that chose the most romantic night of the year to become rubble. Science, they say. Erosion. Sure.

The Winter Olympics burned through 20,000 condoms in three days and had to unlock the emergency stash. Wendy’s has appeared on grocery store shelves in a can, sitting beside Tim Hortons soups that apparently hit different when you’re sick. Alberta finally got a real winter, which is excellent news if you spent three months watching them post 10-degree days from Calgary.

Some weeks give you what you need. This week gave you athletes who earned it, chili that shouldn’t technically exist, and a love arch that picked its moment. Italy tried its best. The metaphor handled itself.
