👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! Thanksgiving turkey can be a challenge for even the most experienced cook: Is it too dry? What if it’s not cooked enough? Now Butterball has a two-step process for preparing its frozen birds—but there’s one catch that might not go over well with your holiday guests.

Here’s what you might have missed during your busy day:

1️⃣ Uprooting around the world: Italy’s digital nomad visa – which allows remote workers to move to the country – was launched in April this year, but there have been few reports of people actually securing one. One lucky recipient in California shares how she found what she was looking for and packed up her life in 48 hours to move from San Francisco to Milan.

2️⃣ Earth history: A giant meteorite estimated to be the size of four Mount Everests struck the planet 3.2 billion years ago. Global chaos ensued – but the impact was a “fertilizer bomb” for life, scientists say.

3️⃣ Hottest trend in the corporate sector: A company’s board is looking for a new CEO, and who is most likely to get the job? A middle-aged white man. 2024 was the year of CEO change, and companies are increasingly choosing to fill vacant top positions with a man, data shows. CNN’s Allison Morrow details how we got here.

4️⃣ Future of “magic mushrooms”: Antidepressants don’t work for everyone. The stakes are high for psilocybin clinical trials as there is an urgent need for a more effective treatment to combat depression. This is what experts say about taking psilocybin as an alternative.

5️⃣ Harsh reality: It’s difficult for young Americans to enter the workforce right now, and early setbacks can have a lasting impact on income. You can blame The Great Stay for this.

🤖 Art by AI: Pieces created by a robot’s artificial intelligence are being auctioned by Sotheby’s with an estimated six-figure selling price. So what will the humanoid do with the money he makes from his art?

• Cowboys for Trump founder’s Jan. 6 riot conviction upheld by precedent
• Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO charged with sex trafficking

🐟 An Elusive Find: Scientists feared that this giant “ghost fish” was extinct. After almost 20 years, they finally managed to see the endangered salmon carp in Cambodia, giving “hope not only for this species, but for the entire Mekong ecosystem.”

🍴 This is how many restaurants Denny’s is closing next year. The 71-year-old restaurant chain is known for being open 24 hours a day, but is rethinking its 24-hour hours.

👭 Loneliness epidemic: People feel isolated. Some moved to a new city or worked from home all day. Building deeper connections quickly may seem difficult, but small steps can make a big difference.

👶 We would like to end the matter on a positive note: During the chaos of Hurricane Milton, dozens of Florida mothers brought lots of joy. In one county, sheriff’s deputies took the extra step of driving an expectant mother to the hospital in a patrol car. Here are the stories of some of the mothers who gave birth in less-than-ideal circumstances during the storm (and photos of their adorable babies).

👋 See you tomorrow.
