Stock Market Momentum Cools
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are drifting Thursday as Wall Street’s momentum cools following its latest record-setting day.
The S&P 500 was edging down by 0.1% in morning trading a day after leaping to set an all-time high for the 25th time this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 176 points, or 0.5%, as of 10 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was down 0.3% a day after hitting its own record.
Big Lots tumbled 19.5% after reporting a larger loss for the latest quarter than expected. The retailer said it missed targets for sales because its customers are continuing to pull back on their spending, particularly for things that aren’t essentials.
Another retailer, Five Below, gave more discouraging comments about how its customers are doing. Its profit and revenue last quarter fell short of analysts’ expectations, and CEO Joel Anderson said struggles for the company’s core lower-income customers dragged on results, even as it saw strong growth from its higher-income customers. Five Below’s stock fell 12.3%.

Mexico’s First Female President Is Coming
Known as “la Doctora” for her glittering academic credentials, Claudia Sheinbaum is a physicist with a doctorate in energy engineering, the former mayor of one of the world’s most populous cities, and was part of the United Nations panel of climate scientists that received a Nobel Peace Prize.
And on Sunday, she became the first woman, and the first of Jewish heritage, to be elected president of Mexico.
Sheinbaum won around 60% of the vote in the largest election in Mexico’s history, marking a historic achievement in a mostly Catholic country known for its deeply patriarchal culture.
The 61-year-old is set to replace the outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, her longtime ally whose social welfare programs lifted many Mexicans out of poverty, making their leftist Morena party favorite in the polls.
“Our duty is and will always be to look after every single Mexican without distinction,” Sheinbaum said in a speech early Monday morning. “Even though many Mexicans do not fully agree with our project, we will have to walk in peace and harmony to continue building a fair and more prosperous Mexico.”
After her maternal grandparents emigrated from Europe to escape the Holocaust, Sheinbaum was born in Mexico City in 1962 – a city she would go on to serve in various roles across decades.
While studying for her undergraduate degree at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), she became immersed in student politics, protesting against the privatization of public education. After graduating, she studied energy engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, where she became fluent in English and earned a Master’s degree, before returning to UNAM for doctoral studies.
Sheinbaum entered politics in 2000, when she was appointed environment secretary of Mexico City by Obrador, then the head of the city’s government.

Will Smith & Martin Eye More ‘Bad Boys’ Films
In a recent red carpet conversation for their latest project, Bad Boys: Ride Or Die, Smith hinted while speaking with The Hollywood Reporter that they may consider gifting the franchise to a younger generation after possibly starring in one more film…
Many action actors have reached the point where their timeless roles are taken on by newer faces; for instance, Tom Hardy has stepped into Mel Gibson’s shoes as Mad Max while Paul Mescal will be the latest Gladiator, taking over from Russell Crowe. But not all icons of the genre are ready to relinquish their hold. Harrison Ford has asserted that Indiana Jones will retire with him, and Tom Cruise has his sights set on tackling missions until he’s an octogenarian. Echoing this sentiment are Bad Boys duo Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, who earnestly believe the franchise could go on indefinitely.
Will Smith skips Grammys tribute
In a recent red-carpet conversation for their latest project, Bad Boys: Ride Or Die, Smith hinted while speaking with The Hollywood Reporter that they may consider gifting the franchise to a younger generation after possibly starring in one more film. “You know, we might have one more in us before we hand it off, but we got a lot of young seeds in there,” he shared. But Lawrence chimed in humorously, “The back ain’t went out quite yet, so before we do that, we ain’t gonna pass it off just yet.”

President Zelensky Issues Warning To U.S.A.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a warning to his U.S. counterpart Joe Biden on Tuesday over his attendance at a Kyiv-led peace summit in Switzerland next month.
Biden's absence from the talks on June 15 and 16—which will be aimed at developing a common understanding of a path toward a just and lasting peace in Ukraine—would be like giving Russian President Vladimir Putin a standing ovation, Zelensky told reporters during a press briefing in Brussels, Belgium.
Washington has said that the U.S. will participate in the summit but hasn't said whether Biden will be attending. Bloomberg reported on May 23, citing people familiar with the matter, that the U.S. president will likely miss the event because it clashes with a campaign fundraiser in California.

Kathie Lee Gifford and Howard Stern's feud first began in 1995,but came to an end when the shock jock called the former Today host asking for her forgiveness.
Kathie Lee Gifford is stern in her belief that everyone deserves forgiveness.
In fact, the former daytime TV host shared how her decades-long feud with Howard Stern came to an end, explaining that it was actually the radio show host who reached out asking for forgiveness after they met in 2012.
"He left a voicemail," she explained in an interview with Fox News published May 28, "I can't even use the language that he used, it was a lot of F-words, but he was basically saying, 'I can't believe how nice you were to me. I've been so rude to you and you were so nice. I just need to apologize to you.'"
Kathie Lee was surprised by the move, and recalled telling her family, "Well, pigs have now officially flown."

Recreational Marijuana Rules Go Into Effect
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A group of rules that will guide the operations of Ohio’s recreational marijuana program go into effect today, including one that gets rid of patient and caregiver registration fees for medical marijuana use.
The Joint Committee on Agency Rule, a legislative panel, approved the rules on May 13. That puts Ohio adults aged 21 and older one step closer to being able to purchase marijuana from dispensaries, since another rule that went into effect Tuesday has to do with applications medical marijuana dispensaries will submit to become dual-use dispensaries, serving both medical and adult-use recreational customers.

Pentagon Suspends Aid Deliveries
The Pentagon said Tuesday that it has suspended the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza via its floating pier after separate mishaps in which four U.S. military vessels were beached, one U.S. service member was critically injured and sections of the structure were ripped free in bad weather.
The damage will require the U.S. military, with Israeli assistance, to disassemble pieces of the pier attached to the Gazan shore, rebuild them in the nearby Israeli port of Ashdod, then transport them back to the Gazan shore and reconnect them, said Sabrina Singh, a Pentagon spokeswoman. That process will take at least a week, temporarily eliminating the pier as an option to deliver humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza as Israel continues its months-long military campaign against the militant group Hamas.

Prosecutors: Why Payment Made Before Election?
Former President Donald Trump is on trial in New York City, where he is facing felony charges related to a 2016 hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. It marks the first time in history that a former U.S. president has been tried on criminal charges.
Trump last April pleaded not guilty to a 34-count indictment charging him with falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment his then-attorney Michael Cohen made to Daniels in order to boost his electoral prospects in the 2016 presidential election.

The Most Shark-Infested Waters in the World
There are about 500 different species of sharks in the world, and they live in all of the Earth's oceans. The first sharks evolved more than 400 million years ago, but they're currently in a bit of trouble. Numbers of many species are down, and an estimated 100 million sharks are caught and killed by fisheries annually. Check out these shark myths you shouldn't believe.

Sharks may have a reputation as vicious predators à la “Jaws” and “The Meg,” but they don't have the taste for humans that's popularly depicted on the silver screen.
Sharks fear us more than we fear them, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says. The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) reports commercial fisheries kill more than 100 million sharks per year. Around half of shark species are threatened or near threatened with extinction.

How Old Mr. Miyagi Was In Karate Kid & When He Died
Mr. Miyagi was born on June 9, 1925, in Tomi Village Okinawa, Japan, where he learned the trade of fisherman and the art of karate from his father.
In The Karate Kid films, Pat Morita portrayed the iconic character of Mr. Miyagi, a wise and dry-witted mentor to both Daniel LaRusso and Julie Pierce. Mr. Miyagi was born on June 9, 1925, in Tomi Village Okinawa, Japan, where he learned the trade of fisherman and the art of karate from his father. Miyagi eventually immigrated to Hawaii, working as a farm laborer in the Hawaiian cane fields, where he met his wife. During the onset of World War II, Miyagi and his wife were placed in an internment camp, where he eventually chose to serve in the U.S. Army, ultimately receiving a Medal of Honor.
While overseas, his wife passed away along with his newborn child due to "complications arising during childbirth", while they were still interned. This devastating loss deeply affected him, and upon his return from war, he struggled to fully recover. Miyagi transitioned into becoming a maintenance worker for an apartment complex and built the Japanese garden in the back of his home, which is shown in Cobra Kai. This is where viewers were first introduced to Mr. Miyagi, marking the beginning of his unforgettable journey in The Karate Kid franchise.

7 New Things Fashion FOLKS Are Talking About
If it seems like fashion news is moving a mile a minute, well, you're not alone. Despite our numerous social media feeds and perpetual press releases, it can be hard to keep up with the latest industry news—even as full-time editors—which is why we're trying something new and boiling it down to just the basics. Here are the seven new things fashion people are talking about right now:
French fashion brand Mirae jetted off to Rio de Janeiro to shoot its stunning new summer 2024 campaign entitled Marimbondo. "We wanted to transport our customers to a place of excitement and joy, where every garment tells a story of sun-drenched days and lively evenings," founder Camille Jarmon said in a statement. I'd say she succeeded in doing just that.
Swiss watchmaker Longines has been involved with equestrian sports since 1869, so it's no surprise the brand would cook up something special for the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks horse races, both celebrating their 150th anniversaries this year. To mark the occasion, Longines has launched a limited-edition version of its Mini DolceVita watch. Complete with a new double strap in pink leather, the striking watch will be limited to 150 pieces.
Calvin Klein has tapped Daisy Jones & the Six star Camila Morrone for its spring 2024 eyewear campaign. "I have always admired Calvin Klein's contemporary elegance, which is why I was excited to be a part of this eyewear campaign," Morrone said in a press release. She's wearing the Butterfly Frame Glasses in the image above, so naturally, I need the same pair ASAP. I won't look exactly like Morrone, but it's a good start.
