Hello fellow web crawlers! Andrew here. Welcome to today's edition of web_crawlr.
Our top stories today are about: A woman explaining how a "dream job" interview left her in tears, a traveler calling out American Airlines for delaying his flight 15 times in one day, former President Trump sharing and deleting a post calling for military tribunals for his political enemies, and a KFC worker caught on camera with her mic still on at the drive-thru.
After that, we've got another edition of "Meme History" for you.
Also: Don't forget to take our weekly news quiz if you haven't already! Just open yesterday's newsletter to answer the question. If you guess correctly, you might win a "Take Me Out To The Blog Game" shirt.
See you next week!
