NEW YORK — NEW YORK (AP) — If the U.S. government’s latest shutdown can’t stop the stock market, what can?

Sure, Nvidia and other darlings of the artificial-intelligence frenzy are still climbing, but almost everything on Wall Street is coming up a winner.

The holiday season has begun, and that means it’s time for traditions. While “traditions” usually conjure up thoughts of centuries-old practices, some are a bit more modern, like the watching of holiday Peanuts specials on TV. The first of several holiday-themed episodes, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is a Halloween classic that’s exclusively on Apple TV+. While Apple has allowed PBS to air the special in previous years, that’s not the case anymore. Hold on, though, there’s no need to get mad and start smashing pumpkins–yes, I’m talking about you, Uncle Fred. If you don’t subscribe to Apple TV+,…
