    May 31 2024

    Erin says it best: "Say the name Erin Brockovich and you think, strong, tough, stubborn and sexy. Erin is all that and definitely more. She is a modern-day 'David' who loves a good brawl with today's 'Goliaths'."

    And this is the TRUE story of the Hinkley groundwater contamination.

    May 17 2024

    In the late 80s, the world 🌎 began turning to our screens 🖥️ as a way to communicate. But we quickly learned 💡 that a lot of meaning is lost 🤔 when your messages 💬 aren't said 🗣️ or received in person 🧍

    So we created our own, new language.

    Today, we're talking all about the origin of those cute yellow faces: Emoji! 😊
