Talk about mistakes on the job.

THE POPE
DECLARED DEAD BY MISTAKE ...
During TV Blunder

The Pope has died while discussing Covid-19 -- at least that's what one broadcaster almost had her viewers thinking ... when she mistakenly said the guy had croaked.

Francis' Christmas day remarks were being recapped Saturday by ITV broadcaster Kylie Pentelow, who was plugging along nicely ... until a little slip at the end when she said, "His death was announced ..."

RIP Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Nobel Peace prize laureate who helped end apartheid in South Africa, has died aged 90.

President Cyril Ramaphosa said the churchman's death marked "another chapter of bereavement in our nation's farewell to a generation of outstanding South Africans".

Archbishop Tutu had helped bequeath "a liberated South Africa," he added.

Tutu was one of the country's best known figures at home and abroad.

A contemporary of anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela, he was one of the driving forces behind the movement to end the policy of racial segregation and discrimination enforced by the white minority government again

But, but, but we have to do something, even if it is unproven.

Health Ministry grants emergency approval to Pfizer’s anti-COVID pill

Questions and concerns are being raised over a so-called “body positivity” group that’s selling “Don’t Weigh Me” business cards to help reduce so-called “weight stigma.” The cards are designed to be handed to medical professionals such as nurses and doctors.

“Please don’t weigh me unless it’s (really) medically necessary. If you really need my weight, please tell me why so that I can give you my informed consent,” the front of each card reads.

It's not easy being a parent. Why you would take your parenting adventures to the World Wide Web I have no fvcking clue.

TOUGH LOVE I made my son sleep in a treehouse on Christmas Eve night for breaking 10pm curfew… other mums think I’m too strict

A MUM made her son sleep in a treehouse on Christmas Eve night after he was an hour late for his curfew - leaving the internet outraged.

Other parents have said the woman was far too over the top and branded her a "raging control freak", dishing out "excessively harsh" punishments.

The kid's excuses were lame. And he got off pretty lucky if you ask me.

I try to put myself in the other person's shoes at times. I just don't get this one. If you are hated at your job, why would you talk to someone hated as badly as you?

VP Harris reportedly turned to Hillary about Improving Her Horrific Approval Rating

According to a new report from the NY Times VP Harris has turned to failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on how to turn around her horrific approval ratings.

The Times reports Harris “has turned to powerful confidantes, including Clinton, to help plot a path forward.”

The NY Times also reports Harris hosted Clinton in her West Wing office in November.

“Ms. Harris has privately told her allies that the news coverage of her would be different if she were any of her 48 predecessors, all of whom were white and male,” the report writes. “She also has confided in them about the difficulties she is facing with the intractable issues in her portfolio, such as voting rights and the root causes of migration.”

Maybe she reached out to the JEF in the wrong way. But he laughed in her face.
