If you’re new here, Associate Appreciation Week, or AAW, is a moment each year when Marriott properties around the world pause to celebrate the people behind the experiences. It’s not one set program or a corporate template. It’s local, personal, and often a little bit unexpected. And that’s exactly the point. In his note to associates, President & CEO Tony Capuano puts it simply: “Thank you for making Associate Appreciation Week such a meaningful celebration this week. Across Marriott International, teams came together to celebrate just how special it is to belong to this company.” He added, “These moments remind us that our success is made possible because of our people, our culture, and how we show up for one another.” Scroll through this year’s LinkedIn posts and you start to see a pattern. Not in the activities themselves, but in the feeling behind them. In Penang, associates marked the week with energy that spilled across every photo. In Myanmar, teammates shared moments tied to the theme “Begin. Belong. Become.”, grounding the week in something bigger than a single celebration. Across properties, the thread is the same. Pride in the team. Joy in the everyday. A sense of belonging that

Meta officially launched paid subscription plans for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp on Wednesday, giving users the option to pay a few dollars a month for extra features across its flagship apps. The company made the announcement in an Instagram post, where head of product Naomi Gleit provided an outline of the new paid "Plus" plans. Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus run $3.99 a month, while WhatsApp Plus is slightly cheaper at $2.99, according to TechCrunch. The plans are now rolling out globally. For Instagram, the $3.99 gets you more control over your Stories and profile. Subscribers can see how many people rewatched a Story in aggregate, build unlimited audience lists, extend Stories past the usual 24-hour window, and preview a Story without registering as a viewer. There's also a weekly spotlight option, animated Super Heart reactions, custom app icons, customizable bio fonts, and additional profile pins. Mashable Light Speed Facebook Plus mirrors much of that, with features focused on social expression and profile customization. WhatsApp Plus takes a different angle, adding app themes, custom ringtones, premium stickers, and extra pinned chats. As TechCrunch notes, none of these plans replace Meta Verified, which remains its own separate offering focused on account

By PYMNTS  |  May 27, 2026 LinkedIn has offered artificial intelligence content tools to its over 1.3 billion members for more than two years. Now it is training a different kind of AI to find and suppress what those tools helped produce. Content creation on the platform is up 14% year over year, LinkedIn Vice President and Executive Editor Laura Lorenzetti, per a May 19 Entrepreneur report. Much of it has started to look and sound the same. Feeds that once surfaced human perspective now return something closer to a single synthetic voice. They’re polished, AI-generated posts that sound vaguely inspirational and say nothing. LinkedIn is changing its recommendation systems, targeting what it calls “AI slop,” or posts and comments that lack original perspective, the report said. Flagged content won’t be removed but will be suppressed so it doesn’t spread beyond a user’s immediate network. The crackdown extends to comments. Bot-generated and generic AI replies that do little more than summarize the posts they’re responding to are also in scope. “When AI is overused, especially at scale and in an automated way, it dilutes the valuable insights that real human conversations can spark,” Lorenzetti said in a May 20 blog
