(NNTN) – Not Necessarily The News<\/strong>
Today\u2019s edition, served hot, slightly warped, and was definitely dropped once on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning kicked off with tech and money<\/strong> news as Apple CEO Tim Cook<\/strong> was actually allow to “cook” as he reassured investors that everything is \u201cfine,\u201d as he plated his dish and added some salt and pepper before stepping away and raing his hands, this is corporate Americaa way of saying \u201cIf you ask the price you can’t afford it, so please stop asking about prices.\u201d Wall Street responded by doing that thing where numbers go up, down, then sideways like a confused Pac-Man<\/em> ghost. Meanwhile, Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase<\/strong> warned of \u201ceconomic headwinds,\u201d a phrase now so overused that Chuck Noland decided to return to becoming a Castaway<\/strong><\/em>, giving up his loyalty cards, free coffee for life and his ten mentions on Tik-Tik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over in global affairs<\/strong>, French President Emmanuel Macron<\/strong>, not him again? Today? We promised… moving on\u2014UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer<\/strong> addressed Parliament with the energy of a substitute teacher trying to keep order during movie day with a room full of toddlers, needless to say it was not pretty. Across the globe, Japan\u2019s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba<\/strong> aka “Shi Shi Bish” <\/strong>announced new tech-forward initiatives that fell on tone deaf ears, everyone nodded and bowed politely and pretended they fully understood them, then snickered “Shi Shi Bish”<\/strong> like young school girls on the playground, while others acted as background characters in a West Wing<\/em> walk-and-talk, but the whole room was definitively shooting live on the set of Lost in Translation<\/em>, welcome to Japan Bish(Bitch).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In science and lifestyle<\/strong>, researchers from Stanford<\/strong> floated the idea that humans may soon need less sleep thanks to \u201coptimization strategies,\u201d which immediately caused parents everywhere to laugh-cry into their pillows and trowing up just a little in their mouth. At the same time, Starbucks<\/strong> quietly rolled out a smaller lid that is \u201cmore sustainable,\u201d and added 25% more water to your coffee, and 35% more ice to cold drinks, meaning you can now spill coffee or the beverage of your choice on yourself with 15.75% greater efficiency with minimal beverage loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally in culture<\/strong> for those who have recently joined the club, Taylor Swift<\/strong> broke the internet again by doing absolutely nothing publicly for 48 hours while she was upgrading her iPhone, while Disney<\/strong> announced park ticket changes so complicated they require a flowchart, a therapist, and a second mortgage and HELOC. So grab your pizza, pass the popcorn, and remember: this has been NNTN\u2014where the news isn\u2019t fake, it\u2019s just\u2026 emotionally seasoned and served fresh. \ud83c\udf55\ud83c\udf7f<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
