Seeing people in the news industry say that articles should be AI-generated is absolutely bonkers and the antithesis of why so many of us became journalists in the first placeβbecause we aspired to the art of reporting AND writing. I will never release AI slop under my byline.

"In a callous job market where it can feel like everyone's hungry and nobody's making it to the table, recruiters and job seekers alike are looking for a shakeup. But anytime the rules of the game change, there's bound to be new winners and losers."

The latest casualty in the white-collar job apocalypse: RΓ©sumΓ©s
Slop is killing the rΓ©sumΓ©. Job hunters are scrambling for new ways to stand out
The rΓ©sumΓ© is dead. Companies are advertising jobs saying they won't read them. They're shifting to skills-based hiring and quiet recruiting for jobs.
RΓ©sumΓ© evaluation was flawed. But as the rules of the hiring game change, so may the losers and winners.

Politicians can't ignore data centers anymore
Data centers have become America's hottest NIMBY issue, with everyone from Bernie Sanders to Ron DeSantis is turning against them.
The feelings people have about data centers are tied to their own energy costs β a local issue that's not yet an indictment of the centers at large. But as more communities fight to defeat them, it's more bad PR for Big Tech. Politicians will take note.

What adults lose when kids are banned from social media
Banning kids on social media today will hurt tomorrow's internet.
"keeping kids off the internet is couched in language of protecting them, keeping them safe ... But there is a piece of it that is inherently rooted in the idea that they have nothing valuable to add to society or that there's no point in listening to them." www.businessinsider.com/kids-parenti...

What adults lose when kids are banned from social media
Banning kids on social media today will hurt tomorrow's internet.
It's a popular sentiment: social media is bad for kids. But as someone who grew up on and loved the OG social web, I looked deeper at the ways teens can benefit from social media β and what we all get when young people shape online culture and activism.

a glorious rat coin purse
twitter comments that range from "oh! so contradictory - laugh & cringe" to "so curious to know who would want this - any ideas?"
twitter must be dead dead cause someone posted a rat coin purse that would have 2019 twitter losing its collective mind and most of the top comments are bots saying random words or people not nearly amped enough about the rat coin purse

The unexpected winners of the AI slop boom: Word nerds
The rise of slopaganda is fueling a surprising tech hiring boom.
I've been seeing posts for comms roles on LinkedIn with salaries that seemed, to me as a journalist, staggering. I wondered why this was happening amid an AI boom. Turns out: there's a premium on good writing and creative thinking in the age of AI slop.

Iβve been thinking about Dan non-stop, and what Iβve come to understand is just how much I admired him. Dan built his life and moved through the world in a way I wish I could emulate more easily. Iβll keep trying, and in moments when I succeed Iβll think of him again. defector.com/dan-mcquade-...

shout out to Dan McQuade, who took me up on an offer to see Hannibal Buress at the Troc, pulled out his phone to record the Bill Cosby joke, and through the butterfly effect of the internet sent Bill Cosby to prison and kickstarted the #MeToo movement. He was one of the kindest guys Iβve ever met.

Lonely and tired of dating apps, young adults are reinventing what "partying" looks like
From earlybird clubbing to cold brew cold plunges, young adults are turning to soft partying to cure loneliness without burnout or hangovers.
2026 resolutions are underway for many. That might mean more than Dry January or joining a gym. People are lonely. They want to meet IRL. The concept of connecting over shared interests and going out without heavy partying could bring people together.

Sundays are the new Mondays
Overachievers and anxious workers are turning the Sunday scaries into an extra day of work.
Working on weekends is typically a sign of over-working. But for some white collar workers, logging on during the weekend is the greatest form of freedom and autonomy. I wrote about the trend for @businessinsider.com

The year coding changed forever
Optimism, laziness, and magical thinking: The year vibe coding took over tech.
2025 was the year of vibe coding. Big Tech execs loved it. But as the hype fades, 2026 might be the year when reality sets in, and the value of having humans with deep knowledge of AI and their systems becomes clear. My latest for @businessinsider.com

Being hot is now a job requirement
The beauty tax for getting ahead at work is getting more expensive: 'I have to reverse age to stay here.'
Unrealistic beauty standards dominate social media and dating, but being hot is also career perk. I spoke with people who work 9 to 5s about how they feel the pressure to look young, have perfect smiles, and be thin in order to succeed. @businessinsider.com
