Mop the slop from your LinkedIn feed with a new open-source Chrome extension
A new open-source Chrome extension, Slop Mop, filters low-quality AI-generated posts out of LinkedIn feeds by analysing writing patterns.
Editor's noteA community-built filter for AI slop is a symptom, not a fix -- it treats the feed's output rather than what produces it. Watch whether platforms adopt the same signal internally, because that is the difference between a workaround and a real correction.
I set the pass bar before testing my Claude Code skills. The first run failed.
A developer built three Claude Code project-management skills against pre-set success criteria, finding a first-run failure traced to test setup rather than model capability.

Future of TV Briefing: Inside The Wall Street Journal’s new shows strategy
Wall Street Journal created a new multimedia leadership role and reorganized its audio division to expand content across video and social platforms.
Editor's noteA newsroom reorganising around audio and video rather than text is a bet that attention now lives in feeds, not homepages. Watch whether the multimedia lead reports into editorial or into growth, because that reporting line decides which goal wins when the two disagree.

Meta Connect 2026: Does Pleasure Beat Privacy? Meta Bets It Does
Meta launched camera-free wearables and its Muse AI agent, betting on convenience even as users continue to raise surveillance and privacy concerns.
Editor's noteCamera-free hardware is Meta's answer to the backlash its glasses drew, and the trade is real: convenience for users, an assistant that still listens. Watch adoption among people who already declined the camera version, because that is the actual test of the argument.

FLRA ruling puts ball back in courts’ court on Trump’s union EOs
A Federal Labor Relations Authority ruling found federal unions cannot challenge Trump's executive orders administratively, steering disputes toward the federal courts instead.
Editor's notePushing labor disputes from an administrative body into federal courts is slower and more expensive for the side with less money, which is rarely management. Watch whether union litigation budgets, not just union arguments, become the story that decides these cases.
President Trump's Legal Argument in Support of Excluding CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House
The Trump administration argues it may restrict journalist access to the White House, citing professional-standards violations and limited press room capacity.
Editor's noteRestricting access on professional-standards grounds is a discretionary lever dressed up as a neutral rule, and discretionary levers get used again once a precedent exists. Watch which outlets lose access next and whether the stated reason keeps changing to fit each new exclusion.
Three Mistakes That Made Donald Trump
A former White House communications official argues three earlier policy mistakes -- trade protectionism, costly interventions, and uneven bank bailouts -- paved the way for Trump.
