Of course, with people stuck inside scrolling and double-tapping away, that’s...

You don’t have to be an email expert to know that you probably should check twice before hitting send. That’s especially the case when you’re sending something to multiple recipients. For one California apartment management company, that concept apparently didn’t get covered during onboarding. And it cost them. Big time. Recently, the landlords sent out...

Fried chicken enthusiasts should be salivating over KFC’s latest foray in the fowl game. After all, anyone who’s crunched into their irresistibly peppery, crisp chicken knows how addicting it can be.
