By Daniel Wine, Jordan D. Brown, CNN

👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! The Golden Globes nominations were revealed, and “One Battle After Another” led the way with nine. There were a few surprises — and some snubs.

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

5 things

1️⃣ Apple’s future

The company has a reputation for producing design-forward consumer products that have shaped how people use technology. Now it’s going through a major shakeup, and the tech industry is at a crossroads.

2️⃣ ‘He had no fear’

Ryan Wedding competed for Canada at the 2002 Winter Games. Then he went from national hero to alleged drug kingpin. Here’s how the Olympic snowboarder became one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives.

3️⃣ Space junk

Sometimes what goes up doesn’t come back down — instead, it becomes a problem. Junk is accumulating in space at a fantastic pace. There’s a simple solution for how to deal with all this celestial litter.

4️⃣ Steeped in tradition

Afternoon tea is quintessentially British. There’s a lot more to it than steaming silver kettles and cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off — the ritual can get quite complicated.

5️⃣ Sleepy time

You might not need eight hours of rest. Experts say quality is just as important as quantity. Find your perfect amount.
