Update Notes
April 11, 2026 (#016bbc3) — Improve resilience of process scanning city council ordinances. Adding fix to prevent manually-featured stories from re-featuring. News Section: adding Slate, Public (first of more oppositional sources), filtering out routine state data updates on KFF, better filtering out sensational stories about fentanyl poisoning. Fixing issue leading to repeat features in Law and Policy and Activism sections. I love feedback and requests – contact@christianarthur.tech
