The show may find a new home with streamers like Netflix, Apple TV+, or Amazon Prime Video.For email subject lines, mid-subject line capitalization (capitalizing every letter in a single non-first word) is a tactic growing fastest right now. It can increase open rates by 16-21%.PetSmart debuted streaming content for pets called "Home for the Pawlidays" with footage pets enjoy like chasing toys and unwrapping gifts.Jay gives his thoughts on the Netflix movie "Carry On" with Taron Egerton + Jason Bateman, says it's bad so far but he'll keep watching.
