Wednesday, May 6 – No, I’m Your Father

New Milford is getting a brand-new coffee spot, adding to the town’s growing list of places to grab a caffeine fix. There’s also some big lobster-related news making waves across Connecticut, while over in Danbury, officials have officially approved a new ShopRite location—something locals have been buzzing about for a while. If you’ve been shopping at Lowe’s or Home Depot recently, you might have noticed new cameras scanning license plates in the parking lots, raising a few eyebrows and questions. On the health front, Connecticut dietitians are breaking down the foods you should be adding to your plate if you want to live longer, because apparently just “trying your best” isn’t cutting it anymore. In entertainment, the trailer for The Odyssey just dropped, and people online are already complaining about actors using American accents. Meanwhile, Disney is reportedly shifting its focus away from another Star Wars trilogy and back toward storylines centered around original characters like Luke Skywalker. And then there’s the internet being the internet. You can now build an A.I. version of your ex (because that sounds like a great idea for everyone involved), people are passionately debating whether a girlfriend should give up the front seat for a man’s mother, and a cruise ship made headlines after nearly half the passengers were reportedly infected with a terrifying hantavirus. On a lighter note, Americans are being told their big, friendly smiles are actually creeping people out overseas, and one woman on TikTok has gone viral for claiming we’ve all been making macaroni and cheese the wrong way this entire time.
