gotta a brave company to advertise by text message --on the one hand: remind your customers to shop & buy things --but on the other? You might text someone who has their phone on "vibrate" causing it to fall from its precarious balance on their knee as they try to photograph their cat (need free hands to position her)
Then when they look to see what was so damn important it knocked the phone over and scared the cat? They will see "Fresh Direct: 20% off eggs." and hate you forever.
A frightening virus is killing a massive number of wild birds.
Vox reports: "The ongoing outbreak of avian flu has killed hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of wild birds, including endangered species like the California condor. It’s one of the worst wildlife disease outbreaks in history."
